Thank you for thoughtful reaction and analysis of this amazing artist. I would like to recommend a live performance by Janis that is top-tier. The name of the song is "Try (just a little bit harder)"Here is the link if your interested:th-cam.com/video/_ICKC_Oeswg/w-d-xo.html
Janis Joplin makes the song her own as she always does, but her version changes up the arrangement as part of its psychedelic overhaul of the tune. "Summertime" was written by George Gershwin in 1934 as part of "Porgy & Bess" and has been recorded thousands of times in the decades since. According to Guinness World Records, "Summertime" holds the world record as the most recorded song in history, with a total number of recorded versions of 67,591 in 2017. The list of artists who have covered the song also includes Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Mahalia Jackson, Sam Cooke, The Marcels, Herbie Mann, Ricky Nelson, Billy Stewart, Big Mama Thorton, and Sublime (as "Doin' Time"). I think the classic pop version of "Summertime" is the one by Sam Cooke. But the Billy Stewart version from 1966 resounds with a ferocious groove, blasting horns, and rapid fire scat singing like you won't believe. Check it out too.
Many people from many walks of life all think of Janis' version of the song as the definitive one. She was just that good. My favorite song of hers is a song called a Woman Left Lonely. It's worth a listen or hundred.
Please consider reacting to one of her neglected sleepers: "Farewell Song" on the album "Live at Winterland '68" by Big Brother and the Holding Company featuring Janis Joplin.
Love you reaction. I really am amazed by her singing of this. You should react to the live Madison Square Garden performance of Since I 've Been Loving You... Led Zeppelin
Genre??? Humanity ❤😊 I've got a song for you 🤔 Pearl album was released after her death !! A song was added to complete the album.. Song is Mercedes Benz ❤️❤️ Technical difficulties at the studio 🎙️!! So Janis is goofing off 🤷 .A slice of her personality and just living the life 😉🥃🥃 R.I.P. Janis 🙏❤️
Yeah, after her death, just about everyone with a piece of tape or film of her live concerts tried to cash in (record labels releasing "live" albums included). Some of those performances were gems, but many of them were sub-par (bad audio equipment, her voice being strained at the end of a tour or long set, etc.). The original album releases and television performances tend to be her best and reflect the takes she wanted to get across. This band had "funk" overtones.
I agree with Frank Zappa that genre is a marketing concept and not so much a musical one. If you want to think where I think this lands, it's blues of the S.F. psychedelic sub variety but again it's not really more than a convenience at best.
I like this a lot but I prefer her version with Big Brother and the Holding Company: studio: th-cam.com/video/ZC_Ghf3OPnw/w-d-xo.html and live: th-cam.com/video/N9E6wwpekyk/w-d-xo.html
you got the wrong version of janis singing 'Summertime' ' and ball of chain' both are live versions that are far superior than the studio version. The 'Ball and Chain' version at the 'Monteray Pop Festival' is far superior, and Mama Cass of the Mama's and the Papa's is in the audience, she was a big fan and friend of Janis. You should also hear 'Mama Cass in Califorbia Dreamin 'by the Mama's and the Papa's.

Janis could not be put in a box...She was one of a kind!
NOW THATS MUSIC 👍👍❤❤
Janis was an incredible talent and sadly part of the "27 Club"
Thank you for reaction and I adore your dog :)
Live tv 1969 version was so good.
Joplin was a Rock n Roll Queen. Period. Fuk worrying about genre.
According to Janis in interviews ..she referred to style/genre as slow country blues, and rock.

You ever seen Janice Joplin at the Monterey pop festival Singing ball and chain fucking fantastic
The intro is the fugue from Prelude and Fugue in C minor by J.S. Bach, BWV847.
If you haven't already check out her "Ball and Chain live at Monterey Pop ". It will leave you with your jaw on the floor. GUARANTEED. Seriously.
The absolute best performance of this song by anyone
genre: Psychedelic Lullaby

The best woman singer🤘
The version from the album "Cheap Thrills" is (IMHO) a hundred times better.
Agree.
This is the blues babe! Great song!
Pure Texas blues. Listen to S.R.V. Texas flood.
YES!
Never heard of this band(?), song(?). But you bet I'm going to listen to it now. Thanks!
@@DarqJestor make sure it's the version from the El Mocambo

It's Janice genre. She's in a class all her own.
There are only TWO genres…bad and good.
Texas finest 👌 RIP my Janis ❤
Poor, Leroy with the red bow. Makes me think of something I would do. Glad you got to hear Janis.
Back in 69 when we were listening, it was called acid rock.
Love your dog!
Janis arranged the music herself; so you can call it Janis style
Janis: the Best!!! ❤❤❤
Also omg you need to do a live reaction..... do either CRYBABY or Try

JJ had about 3 voices she sang with and you never knew which one she was going to be using, or maybe all 3!
Baroque Blues? Trying to throw a classical feel onto a blues standard. I don't know who arranged this version, but it all comes down to Janis.
Mercedes Benz by Janis is one of my favs from her its only like 1:30 long though
Cosmic Blues
It is blues jazz and eastern music!!!
Love you reaction. I really am amazed by her singing of this. You should react to the live Madison Square Garden performance of Since I 've Been Loving You... Led Zeppelin
Do you ever react to guitar solos?
Genre??? Humanity ❤😊
I've got a song for you 🤔
Pearl album was released after her death !! A song was added to complete the album..
Song is Mercedes Benz ❤️❤️
Technical difficulties at the studio 🎙️!! So Janis is goofing off 🤷 .A slice of her personality and just living the life 😉🥃🥃 R.I.P. Janis 🙏❤️
I forgot to add
Mercedes Benz is Janis last recorded song 😢💔
She died 3 days later .🙏💔🕊️
Please check out Kozmic Blues by Janis. That song is EPIC!
Work me lord
I always thought the instrumentals gave circus vibes, like the start, the genre is rock.. but idk its just really good

Ummmm…its the blues
More a little bluesy. This sounds different from what I heard on their album.
I agree with Frank Zappa that genre is a marketing concept and not so much a musical one. If you want to think where I think this lands, it's blues of the S.F. psychedelic sub variety but again it's not really more than a convenience at best.

Please take the bow out of Leroy's hair
