I'm going to look Erma up & see the life she lead. She's a great singer. and there is an attractive energy about her. I bet she was the smartest. (I of course could be wrong)
For those who know how much some musical gems go unsung, Erma is the original artist of this song and a true soulful diva in her own right . . . If the world only knew!
Erma was not only a great singer who never got the breaks, but a warm, kind and generous person, and a stabilizing force in the Franklin family in Detroit. It was a privilege to know her.
Janis screams this song and Erma sings it. Both are great version. My regret is that it took me years to find this beautiful version. Thank you for put it in youtube.
soul classic from erma franklin, Aretha franklin's older sister. my lady has a piece of my heart. sad and beautiful song at the same time, so timeless. real soul at the very best.
@Marco Deo I'm confused by this comment. What picture of Aretha are you comparing her too? Very confused by this comment & even more confused that 2 people "liked" it lol.
I Remember My Mom Playing This Song At Her Parties. I Use To Sneak And Listen To Them. This Song I Listen To Over And Over Again. So Soulful And Beautiful 💛💛💛RIP The Franklin Sisters.
I remember first hearing Erma singing the heaven and hell out of "Piece of My Heart" on the radio, while visiting Montreal in 1967 as a teenager. I purchased the 45 rpm single, on the SHOUT! label and still have it to this day! Fab-u-licious!
My parents would not let us listen to soul (called it a horrible, racist name). Of course, it didn't work - we just listened to the radio and 45's we bought when they were not home.
Erma Franklin singing Piece of My Heart is riveting and magnificent. Growing up in the era of complete SOUL, had never before realized this was her fabulous recording. I’ve never understood the reason talented siblings were never allowed to reach their highest level of success. Erma Franklin clearly had the VOICE , BEAUTY AND STYLE!
The record companies of the era were obsessed with 'Star power'. The suits could not get their heads around putting more than one performer per category out front. Arethas fame was not just bought at the expense of her sisters, but to other artists like Etta James who saw their publicity dropped and contracts lapsed, so the ad men and promotion money could be focused on a single Property.
Erma Franklin put her heart and soul into this video as if making a personal testimonial. Like some exquisite jewels that have not been unearthed, this beautiful work of art and expression sadly has not got its due.
First time I ever heard this song it was by Janis Joplin. When I heard Irma's version I was blown away. Hers delivery was deliberate, soulful and in control, she didn't scream the way Janis did, she sings this song with conviction. I wish she got her due like Aretha did, to me she was just as good.
I really enjoyed all her recordings throughout the years. So many great memories attached to her recordings like places,faces and situations attributed to her glorious voice. Grateful Erma Franklin to the times.
What a great performance by Miss Irma Franklin........What a great classic this is! Rest in Peace to this great singer, who is sister to Aretha Franklin........
My husband and I *love* *love* *love LOVE* this woman. What class, such a beautiful voice. Whoever put this together well done, well done. Thank you. She's a dream.
I play a monthly Motown and Funk night in my sleepy little Oxfordshire hometown, and I usually finish with this track. I wish Erma knew that even in 2022 there's still a plethora of folks young & old properly getting down to this record.
This is what a soul song is all about. Janis' version was raw and painful too, but this original version has something special going on too. On the opposite side of the coin, Faith Hill should be flogged for her version of this classic !! LOL Thank you for this Erma, wherever you are, and your sisters Carolyn and Aretha too for the music they gave the world.
I think your assessment is spot on. I was always a fan of Janis and didn't know this jewel existed until 4 years ago. Both versions are absolutely beautiful!! This one, delivery is soulful sultry and, the other just damn right bluesy and sweaty.. I love them both.
The Franklin family all sang together in their father's church (The New Bethel Baptist Church of civil rights fame), where gospel singers Ruth Brown, and Mahalia Jackson sang. When you have a mentor like that, it's hard not to be great.
Janice made it superb in the way any woman could relate. There are so many Rock songs that were remakes and often stolen from blues bands. I heard this one and like it better for the feelings that escape in Franklin's voice as if she is experiencing it right now this instance.
36 years old and still coming back to listen to this LEDGEND, that is, and was Erma Franklin in August 2024. I grew up listening to amazing artists, and you, Mam, are and will always have given us a BIG PIECE OF YOUR HEART ❤️
What a voice - seriously, she has one of the best voices EVER. Janis Joplin's version of this incredible song is good, but this really takes it to another level, doesn't it? And to think that she wasn't the most commercially successful Franklin sister...
Wow, all these years and I never knew Janis Joplin's version was a cover of this original rendition. Erma Franklin had such a beautiful voice and I love this version now too!
I grew up listening to this song played over and over again because my father is a huge Janis Joplin fan. But this version gives me goosebumps. Personally, I prefer Ermas version.
Very rich people should make a nice musical movie that tells the story of giants like Erma who deserves the best in the world of music. The back up singers just love this song and the band is fabulous
This version is much better than the Janis Joplin's cover. Erma dont' scream, she is more Soul. Janis was more a Rock singer, and she scream a lot. Erma is the real McCoy
I actually discovered this from a New York Times crossword puzzle clue..."Franklin who sang "Piece of My Heart." The answer was "Erma." I was only familiar with the Janis Joplin version. I had to look it up and I'm glad I did. Thank you for posting, and thanks to Byron Walden (creator of the crossword) for allowing me to discover this. I of course had heard of Aretha (had her very first album and some CDs). I was delight to find this. Thanks again!
Wow, first time seeing this. I miss my tiny old friend Erma. She was a genuine person that loved to laugh. If only she would have known a young cousin of mine would end up marrying a nephew of hers. LOL
"Piece of My Heart" is a romantic love song written by Jerry Ragovoy and Bert Berns and ... Erma Franklin's original recording: 1967[edit]. The original version of "Piece of My Heart" was recorded by Aretha Franklin's older sister Erma ... recorded by Big Brother and the Holding Company in 1968, with lead singer Janis Joplin.
There is no damn comparison between Irma Franklin and Janis Joplin, first of all whites thought Janis was their "soul Queen" she could not sing worth a damn, all she did was scream all the damn time. Irma had soul, real soul and only if you are black you would know what real soul is. Irma deserved far more recognition for this song, instead everything damn thing went to Janis. Give a break, Janis has nothing,, you hear me NOTHING on Irma. I am enjoying this in 2019.
Didn't I make you feel Like you were the only man, yeah Didn't I give you everything that a woman possibly can? But with all the love I give ya It's never enough But I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough So come on, come on, come on, come on Take another little piece of my heart now, baby! Break it! Break another little bit of my heart now, honey Have a! Have another little piece of my heart now, baby You know you got it if it makes you feel good You're out on the street (looking good) And you know deep down in your heart that it ain't right And ah, you never, never hear me when I cry at night And oh oh I, I tell myself that I can't stand the pain But when you hold me in your arms, I say it again So come on, come on, come on, come on And take it!

WOW blow me away this lady is great I love this song her version is smooth as silk and musically perfect backup singers beautiful.I love Janis version I compare hers as youthful new to love .Ermas' with maturity with matters of the heart but the pain is real Awesome
Oh my word, I have never heard this version before. Not as gritty as Janis, but soulful and classy. I love the horns also. I need to find more to listen to. Off to the record store.
This sounds far better than that voice throat scratch garbage, Joplin sang. I guess white voices was either considered better or racial gatekeeping caused an aversion to hearing yet another black woman succeed , especially from the same family, since Aretha was already out singing white singers.
WOW!!! This is unbelievable!!! I thought Janis Joplin wrote this.. This extremely cool.. Super Bad Ass.. Original!!! No improvements can be made to this.. It is perfect.. a new band i discovered did a real nice job.. Liliac.. congrats to them.. but i knew nothing of this original.. Super Amazing.. !!!
>"...I thought Janis Joplin wrote this." Erma didn't write the song either. She was the first to record the Jerry Ragovoy and Bert Berns song, Piece of My Heart. Erma recorded it in 1967, Big Brother and the Holding Company recorded it in 1968.

this is the original, and in my eyes still the best

Damn when the Lord was handing out soul singing the Franklin sisters got on line twice.
Three times, actually.
LOL
@@williamlee1564 Yes! 3 times! Erma, Aretha and Carolyn. I love them all.
Some would call that greedy, I disagree. Most people would've wasted that soul anyway, the Franklin sisters shared it with the world
3 times! Carol Franklin collaborated with Aretha frequently. She wrote some of aretha's songs and did backup singing on her albums.
I love Erma Franklin's version of this song and I wish that she got more credit for this song.
Erma's version? She was the original artist.
@@sgtpluck8344 but most people think it was Janis song.
Learn something new everyday.
@@sgtpluck8344 I know that
Absolutely !
She could sing in her own right, interesting that she sounds nothing at all like Aretha, nothing at all...
Janis screams this song and Erma sings it. Both are great version. My regret is that it took me years to find this beautiful version. Thank you for put it in youtube.
Me too. I just heard it today! (3/27/2019)
I definitely prefer Erma's version - it just seems a wee bit more, um, soulful...
I also found this first today, I like Faith Hills version too
a third great version is by dusty springfield -- came after this one but BEFORE janis
noces62 oh this is def my favourite version ...x
soul classic from erma franklin, Aretha franklin's older sister. my lady has a piece of my heart. sad and beautiful song at the same time, so timeless. real soul at the very best.
Interesting tidbit, this song was first offered to Van Morrison but he turned it down and Erma was offered the song and the rest is history.
We just don’t get this kind of real soulful music anymore even the lyrics are classy and has great meaning that touches you to your soul.
And their other sister Carolyn on background vocals.
Aretha Franklin big sister
I didn't know that! So cool!

not only is Erma terrific but as icing on the cake, the backup singers are absolute knockouts
Hell, yeah! Stunning...
and they can sing too, lol
The one on our left looks like one of the Pointer Sisters.

I wish we could've gotten more songs from Erma and Carolyn Franklin.
The performer's life doesn't suit everyone. I dare say that applies to a lot of devoted church people. Aretha had her hard times.
This is just an absolute gem, her tone and texture just melts your soul 💎
In very VERY loving memory of Mrs. Erma Franklin (1938 - 2002 R.I.P. Gone but NOT forgotten).
I really enjoyed all her recordings throughout the years. So many great memories attached to her recordings like places,faces and situations attributed to her glorious voice. Grateful Erma Franklin to the times.
First time hearing about this. It is beautiful she should have got more credit for that nobody has sang it like she did bless you Erma Franklin
amazing song and amazing voice i had no idea she was arethas sister what a family .
IRMA WAS VERY UNDERRATED OVERSHADOWED BY HER SISTER BUT FOR ME SHE WAS THE BEST ..LOVE HER VOICE THIS SONG SENDS CHILLS DOWN MY BACK
Aretha is a legend!
And real talk .... I feel vocal irma is a better singer.
Their voices sound so similar. Carolyn’s voice is also beautiful, but her voice is different from theirs.
@@LouisianaVodouEmpressbitches I saw something where Aretha admitted that. But none of them really cared. They all 3 had basically happy lives.

Oh my word, I have never heard this version before. Not as gritty as Janis, but soulful and classy. I love the horns also. I need to find more to listen to.
Off to the record store.
One of my favorite oldies, didn’t remember Erma Franklin did it ...but it was a big hit for me, thank you for the memories. ❤️
Beautiful!
I love her voice
Doesn't get any better than this 🎶🌟😊👌
I prefer this version. Janis was just being an angry white woman.
That drum man beat the hell out of this great classic. And Erma sang
I just wish it lasted more than a couple of minutes.
Yes. This is the version I remember while growing up..Loved it then. And still do. This Franklin sister was a kicking.
This sounds far better than that voice throat scratch garbage, Joplin sang. I guess white voices was either considered better or racial gatekeeping caused an aversion to hearing yet another black woman succeed , especially from the same family, since Aretha was already out singing white singers.
fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW!!! This is unbelievable!!! I thought Janis Joplin wrote this.. This extremely cool.. Super Bad Ass.. Original!!! No improvements can be made to this.. It is perfect.. a new band i discovered did a real nice job.. Liliac.. congrats to them.. but i knew nothing of this original.. Super Amazing.. !!!
>"...I thought Janis Joplin wrote this."
Erma didn't write the song either. She was the first to record the Jerry Ragovoy and Bert Berns song, Piece of My Heart. Erma recorded it in 1967, Big Brother and the Holding Company recorded it in 1968.
Not sure if I prefer this or Etta's version, but both are like honey.

Yes, this version really made me feel good and moved me, Janis Joplin's was good but this one is from the soul.
Its Dec 2020 and this music continues to take a piece of my heart
Aretha Franklin her sister, Erma Franklin are wonderful peoples with the best voices in USA. Thanks for your spending time. Germany, Munich.
Money heist brought me to another version, but my heart brought me to the Best ones.
