This is my favourite version of Summertime from any artist. I believe her crying pain and it fills my heart with sorrow, as she just loved, that is all she ever wanted was LOVE. I know that you are with the face of Love Janis, you are now with the angels, and love is forever found eternally--hope to see you soon, your fav fan--We will spread our wings and will take to the sky, that morning no harm will come to us, sheer joy in heaven

She had a short career, probably about 3 years of being "famous" and there aint that much material but there is enough if you give it to yourself in rations!! Try her live performance of Work Me Lord & Cry Baby they're amazing! Also see if you can get hold of Big Brother & Janis live at Winterland!

I'm 25 and I just discovered her on my birthday! I'm addicted now, she was so passionate and never had a singing lesson in her life! I like discovering artists cause it feels like they're yours!

when you get a quick look at the audience in this clip(suits and ties, not beads and long hair)the performance and response is even more amazing............a precious relic of the 60's and rare recording of Big Brother. THANKS

Blues at its best

Yes! IMO, I've said: To understand Janis' scene, read Alice Echols; to underdstand Janis' career, read Myra Friedman; to understand Janis' life, read Laura Joplin. Three great books by three gifted gals ... about one super genius of a gal. Peace.

The tone and theme of the music is amazing. Everything is so awesome true music chemistry!

Both Janis and the band were at their finest in this performance - incredible. They were the perfect band to back her.
