This song was written by Barry and Robin Gibb, this song was originally released two years prior as a single for their band, the Bee Gees. When interviewed in 2017, Barry Gibb said this was his favorite of all the songs he had written.
The Bee-Gees were one of the most prolific song writing groups of all time....they wrote so many songs that became hits for others, let alone their own!
I think her and Otis Redding had that style where they were able to play with how they perform the lyrics and it would really reveal their soul and convey what they're going through at the moment because they don't stick to the tried and true version on the album. They would just run-on with it like my last sentence, goddamn!
A song written by the Bee Gees for Otis Redding who passed before he could record it, recorded by another soul singer, then taken by janice for her OWN interpretation
My older sister was a trained operatic soprano. She said Janis' voice was like "gravel in a galvanized bucket... and perfect " ... she loved Janis Joplin.
Ralph, that was such a beautiful thing to hear for a 69 year old Janice devotee. I'm going to copy that into a book and keep it till the end of my days. Thank you for posting and please tell your sister she will never know how much he touched my heart
@@katrand5357 Darlin', I'm 75. My "Big Sister " has been gone a few years now, but it would "give her a tingle" as she would say - to find that her thought on Janis meant so much to you.
Janis Joplin was one of a kind NO other female singer can come close to that voice and emotion she sang with. Suggestion Janis Joplin- Maybe and Down on Me.
Janis seriously wore her soul like a blanket trying to protect her from pain, hurt, anger, & even love! This woman was one of a kind, & sadly missed by everyone who loved & understood her music ❤️ 💚 💙 She truly was a gift that was only with us for a short time, but what a glorious time it was!!! Thank you both, for such a thoughtful reaction ❤️ 💚 💙
D Conway: Same here. New Haven, Yale Bowl. I was 12 yrs old! As the kids say today: "She was awesome!" (p.s. Gordon Lightfoot opened for her with The Kozmic Blues Band!!)
I remember years ago the CBC Radio (up north) posed the question: "Did Janis Joplin have a good voice?" I immediately called in and was picked up, I said: "Whether or not she had a good voice seems almost pointless to ask. The fact is that this women bled for us on every song she ever sang and gave us her all. She is a legend for that."
Jamel_AKA_Jamal, I want to thank you. Almost 2 years ago, I found out I had lung cancer. I ended up having a lung removed, I had a major infection from the surgery, then chemo and radiation. I found comfort and joy listening to classic songs from my era, and your joyful reactions. While I don't know you, this old white dude loves you brother. Thanks.
This song was written by The Bee Gees for the legendary Otis Redding to record, but he passed away shortly after. The Bee Gees recorded their own version instead.
My older sister was lucky enough to see Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix perform. She introduced me to rock music as well and we spent our weekends going to concerts in the early 70’s. I’ve been fortunate to see about every band from that era. Nothing beats a live performance those bands gave their all on stage.
@@tanguman2 I was thinking about this while listening to Janis.. it’s cool how The Bee Gees could look at an artist and try to craft a song for their style. Barry said he wrote this song the night he saw Otis in concert in New York
This women changes your DNA.I raised my kids with Janis Joplin,Jimi Hendrix,Stevie Ray Vaughan,Joe Satriani,Emerson Lake and Palmer and many more and they all turned out well balanced kids with degrees and diplomas.Thank you guys. Thanx brother Jamel for a good,informative show.I love what you are doing introducing good old music to the younger generation,keep it up.
"I met a girl who sang the blues, and I asked her for some happy news, but she just turned and walked away." Don McLean in "American Pie" Still miss you, Janis. The first thing I'll do when I get to heaven is see Janis Joplin in concert.
Normally I like to watch reaction videos to songs/performances I already know. This version is new to me and I am very happy to listen to it for the first time here. Great!
Now I'm _begging_ you; please take a few and listen to Janis sing "Little Girl Blue" on the Tom Jones Show. She'll break your heart just like she broke ours.
I remember reading the only time in her life she was happy was when she was making music. I hope she is some where now enjoying all the people's lives she touched.
Ive always loved this song whether The Bee Gees did it (original) or Janis did it (cover). She either did this on the Tom Jones’ show or Dick Cavett’s...I can’t remember! She always said her voice was thanks to Whiskey 😂 She was precious!
I just watched your video on The Buggles’ “Video Killed the Radio Star”. How prophetic it turned out to be. Nothing about her performance here would be famous today: her hair, costumes, choreography...and that is sad because look at the voice we would have missed. Appearance today is often seemed as more important than talent. (Can this person’s look sell records?) She was just beautifully stripped down raw talent. Miss her.
To Love Somebody, by Robin Gibb of The Bee Gees. Janis was one of a kind. There are too many talented people all over the world whether well known or not, who have lost their lives to accidents or from not loving themselves enough to keep on trying. Such a sad loss for everyone. Great reaction, Jamel! Keep up the great work!
Janis Joplin was 5'6" 125lbs of pure sole. I was 15 years old when she passed. She was my first teen crush as far as entertainers. I actually wept when I heard the news of her passing.
Indeed. My high school met in a local park the Sunday after she passed. For 6 hrs we played Janis nonstop ...and shed many tears for our Port Arthur Princess. 💐Janis Lyn Joplin 1943-1970
R.I.P. Janis, such a soulful, gritty, unique voice/sound. Amazing. No auto tune back in my day, its Raw and so much better. Love it. Blessings and Peace
It's a cover, as many have mentioned. But she sang covers in her inimitable style with so much heart and soul it would be easy to think they were written just for her, if you didn't already know it was a cover!
I've never heard Janis do this cover!! Nobody brings it so raw, from the blood and bone, as this woman. Thanks for doing this one! Her opposite is Linda Rhonstadt with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra. She is smooth as satin and as polished as anything you ever heard. I'd love it if you would react to her.
This is an early Bee Gees song, covered by many other artists. They originally wanted to give it to Otis Redding to record, but he died before he was able to do it.
One of my favorite Janis performances is a duet she did called 'Ego Rock' with Nick Gravenites of the group Electric Flag. It's amazing and funny too, unless you're from Texas.
Yes Jamel, same song brother, and Thank You for all you do, such a class act you are. Ma brought her album home to me when I was 15. Janis Joplin, we're still lovin ya sweetie 😘 💕 💖
More love for the ladies!!! You need to check out anything from the late and amazing Sharon Jones with The Dap Kings. Soul soul soul!!⁸ I was lucky enough to see her live once in 2010 or 11 and it was the greatest musical performance I've ever experienced. Nonstop energy from beginning to end. Definitely in the Tina Aretha Janis department.
One of my personal idols as a teen way back then. She was cool in every way. And man that woman could sing like no other. Miss the very beautiful Janis Joplin. Her performance s on the Dick Cavett show were pretty great. You are thinking of the BeeGees song. Suggestion? The whole Got those old Kozmic Blues album.
you just know her songs were different every time she sang them, and they were all excellent!! this is a cover of to love somebody originally by the Bee Gees. They wrote it and put it out on their debut album in 1967. Janis did her cover in 1969.
Pearl, from Port Arthur Texas, my mother knew her, she used to hang out with her in Beaumont Texas and some of the clubs that she played also in Southwest Louisiana. I have some really cool pictures of my mom and Janis Joplin together great memories.

Hey Man, this is a Bee Gees song. But it's completely different
I saw you loved my comment but it got erased because I made an edit. May you love it again, please? I didn’t know it would erase your heart tag
Great song 💜
Please check out “Marooned” by Pink Floyd
Morning Jamel have you ever seen the movie The Rose? Its the life story of Janice.
Janis had a voice like no one's business. God I loved her and still love her n her music.
Same.
20 + years and I still get goosebumps from her voice and passion...
This song was written by Barry and Robin Gibb, this song was originally released two years prior as a single for their band, the Bee Gees. When interviewed in 2017, Barry Gibb said this was his favorite of all the songs he had written.
Nice, someone who has facts. The Bee gees have an amazing version. But Janice does kill it.
Am I the only one, as Jamel was singing the song, yelling at my screen "IT'S THE BEEGEES!"?
They originally wrote it for Otis Redding, but after he passed away the Bee Gees recorded it.
@@j.d.6915 I could see Otis Redding do an amazing job with this song
The Bee-Gees were one of the most prolific song writing groups of all time....they wrote so many songs that became hits for others, let alone their own!
The old adage "the one and only" fits Janis Joplin to a tee. There is NOBODY that sings like she does. 💯🙏🙌✌️
James Brown. He sang like Janis.
I think her and Otis Redding had that style where they were able to play with how they perform the lyrics and it would really reveal their soul and convey what they're going through at the moment because they don't stick to the tried and true version on the album. They would just run-on with it like my last sentence, goddamn!
That's why she was known as "the one and only great J.J"!!!!😍

I can only hear hints of the Bee Gees song in here.
@@sherrykamke4156 because it's an interpretation
@@tanguman2 I know. A good interpretation too!
James Carr was the soul singer who recorded a version.
OH I MISS MY MAN, OTIS SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!
Janis Joplin's voice is literally like liquid gold she exudes the sultry experience
Beautifully said!
Gave me a chill .
Best female singer ever for my money, there will never be another Janis.
She just pierces through you. You can't not be moved by her voice. God bless her
My older sister was a trained operatic soprano. She said Janis' voice was like "gravel in a galvanized bucket... and perfect " ... she loved Janis Joplin.
Sounds like the description a critic gave to Rod Stewart's voice: "Gravel in a velvet bag." lol

@@ralphkern380 well, Ralph, maybe she got a tingle on the other side. I'm sure you'll see her again! Thank you for your kindness
Janis Joplin was one of a kind NO other female singer can come close to that voice and emotion she sang with.

And Kozmic Blues
Love for Janis such a great. Check out live versions from Eva Cassidy for what you post questions

Janis was 100% REAL.. ALWAYS!!! NO ONE can come Close to That Emotion, that she sang with!!! xoxoxo
Saw her live once. Unforgettable!!!
That’s amazing! ❤️
Saw her in Chicago…loved how she could belt it out
wow
@@nightwood4379 she had a fifth of southern comfort setting on the stage which she swigged on between songs..she was something wild huh
D Conway: Same here. New Haven, Yale Bowl. I was 12 yrs old! As the kids say today: "She was awesome!" (p.s. Gordon Lightfoot opened for her with The Kozmic Blues Band!!)
This woman sang from her soul. Her passion is par none and it's so sad she never found the love that she so desperately craved.
I remember years ago the CBC Radio (up north) posed the question: "Did Janis Joplin have a good voice?" I immediately called in and was picked up, I said: "Whether or not she had a good voice seems almost pointless to ask.

👉🏆
That's how art should be.
AND she had a good voice, to top it off. Great answer, though!
Alot of pure nonsense today.she was pure soul.
Oh sweet soul in my ears. I just recovered from a coma after that Yes video. Janis Joplin is a goddess.
She did this Bee Gee's Song her own spin and hit it out of the park!
She sang with all her heart and soul and held nothing back.
I am all for as many people as possible knowing the wonder and beauty that is Janis Joplin's singing. Keep bringing that classic music to the TH-cam!!
Jamel_AKA_Jamal, I want to thank you. Almost 2 years ago, I found out I had lung cancer. I ended up having a lung removed, I had a major infection from the surgery, then chemo and radiation.

Janis was a BAAAAADDDD Sista!!!!! Imagine her and Chris Stapleton singing a duet!! Sending love from Portland, Oregon!!!!
Omg I've listened to Janis thousands of times and she blows me away every damn time.

Imagine if Otis redding had sung it as originally planned and was wrote for

Sometimes I swear Janis was Possessed by a Fire Brimstone Preacher from Deep in The South....
She was from Texas and I believe her Father was a preacher. I could be wrong about Father but not Texas.
@@nursetom61 seems I heard that one too...
"I met a girl who sang the blues,
and I asked her for some happy news,
but she just turned and walked away."
Don McLean in "American Pie"
Still miss you, Janis. The first thing I'll do when I get to heaven is see Janis Joplin in concert.
There's just no words to describe Janis! She's incomparable and it hurts me that she's been gone since before I was born.
She’s been my hero since I was 8 years old. When I get the feelin’ and have my guitar, I get my Joplin on. Oooooooooo yeah!
Normally I like to watch reaction videos to songs/performances I already know. This version is new to me and I am very happy to listen to it for the first time here. Great!
Every thing I've ever seen Janis do has been incredible.So much soul! Yes this is a cover of the Bee Gees song.
Now I'm _begging_ you; please take a few and listen to Janis sing "Little Girl Blue" on the Tom Jones Show. She'll break your heart just like she broke ours.
I read somewhere that Janis once said in an interview that Little Girl Blue was her personal favorite.
Yes please do. I made pretty much the same comment & added the link but for some reason my comment was removed 🤷🏼♀️
My personal favorite of hers by far!
👉🏆 Absolutely!
*Little Girl Blue = Janis*
Her best performance
Janis was the Queen of Blues N Rock Period!!!!!!!!!
I saw janis in concert..amazing singer. No one can compare to her vocal. I still get chills listening to her sing.
Listen to Maybe..
Janis never had a band that was as good as she was, especially these guys, bless their hearts.
She was amazing. “Maybe” is another great song to check out!
I see that the brothers Gibb are given the writing credits!!!! But Joplin had one of the most amazing voices ever!!!! So much power with expression!!!
Her voice was so gritty and soulful and beautiful. Truly one of a kind.
i just so love her voice. so much talent in that lil woman.RIP
Man, you should consider "I'd rather go blind" by Etta James (Live 1975)
Are you trying to make his viewers cry? I don't think I've ever gotten through that song without at least one tear.
It's definitely a good one.
All props to sistah Janis ! Rest in POWER!
I was 11 yrs old when I 1st saw her on TV live in 68. Growing up in this Era was... well, indescribable to say the least. #blessed
She sang with a lot of passion ... bless her heart and RIP Janis
My favorite female singer of all time, I wish I could have seen her live, great music back then
Just the fact you're covering Lady Joplin makes me love you more, Jamal, and I didn't think that was possible (hahaha)!
I remember reading the only time in her life she was happy was when she was making music. I hope she is some where now enjoying all the people's lives she touched.
💓💓💓
Janis was one of a kind. If her music doesn’t give you chills, somethings wrong! Another great artist & song choice.
That voice gets up under your ribcage and tears at the ol heart‼️ Thanks for bringing this one back brother.
This has got to be one of my favorite Janis songs.
Ive always loved this song whether The Bee Gees did it (original) or Janis did it (cover).
She either did this on the Tom Jones’ show or Dick Cavett’s...I can’t remember! She always said her voice was thanks to Whiskey 😂
She was precious!
A great bluesy rendition of the great Bee Gee’s song which you absolutely need to react to !
“Little girl blue” and “Maybe”
Janis Joplin was such an amazing singer. Gone before her time.
THANK YOU FOR KEEPING GREAT MUSIC ALIVE. JANICE IS A GEM.
She was so authentic and awesome....contemporary similar types can't even get to the organic level that Janis was....
The Flying Burrito Brothers did a fine version as well.
Ahh... The Fallen Angel, Gram Parsons.
My goodness. This is fantastic. Never seen this performance before. Incredible
I just watched your video on The Buggles’ “Video Killed the Radio Star”. How prophetic it turned out to be.

Janis put every inch of her being into a song.
She had so mush sole for a young lady! A one of a kind! Special man just special!!
She was what you call an old soul.
She blew them away in the TV world

Yup but an entirely different version the one you were singing to was the Bee Gees version
