But so many of our greatest singers had/have terrible singing voices. We're talking rock and roll here, not opera, Sparky. And there's more to singing than being note-perfect: inflection, syncopation, phrasing, emotion, etc. Get educated--in your head and your heart. |

All I know is something like a bird within her sang,
All I know she sang a little while and then flew on...
RIP Janis

I know, that's not even fair. Janis following CC is like shooting fish in a barrel.
And Sia? Man, she'd wipe the floor with her. Janis wouldn't even notice her. |

I recently discovered a cover of this by Soul Asylum on a new collection from their Twin-Tone years. It ain't too bad.
The other cover on the collection is....wait for it..."Jukebox Hero" by Foreigner!?!?

I was listening to a rebroadcast of some 60s radio show and they had a commercial for Janis' new album. Ah, the great ol days!

At least we have gems such as this one to keep with us, and to take to desert islands in our dreams. It seems that some will always shine brighter, shorter, and flame out spectacularly. Sadly, we are just left with a black hole. |

Thanks, Red--I bought it ASAP, really cheaply, thanks to you! There is plenty to the criticism of Janis Joplin, yet the total package is riveting. A lot might be in the improbability of it all, the hard-to-get-your-mind-around-it concept of such an outsider, such a self-destructive loser, being such an improbable success in spite of all the verifiable drawbacks. I would rather see the Janises make it big, anyhow, than the sports stars and the rap stars. But that's just me. |
