One in a million lifetimes is Janis. There'll never be another woman even touch what she could do to an audience. Gone far to soon. Wish this generation could've had the privilege of seeing her live. RIP beautiful lady
This is priceless. It should be shown in schools with regards to history. One could dissect their thoughts and comments and learn a little something. A teacher needs to be creative instead of straight from the book curriculum. The greatest teachers in my day caught flak for teaching way outside the box. But they made it so interesting we wanted to hear more.
It's interesting that Dick Cavett didn't know who Tina Turner was. By 1970, Ike & Tina had already toured the US with the Rolling Stones and appeared on national TV many times. They later appeared on The Dick Cavett Show in 1972. Janis joined Ike & Tina onstage at Madison Square Garden in 1969, but Tina has no recollection of it. Tina was asked if she ever performed with Janis and she said no even though there are pictures of them onstage together! Tina said Janis was a big fan and often attended Ike & Tina shows in San Francisco.
That’s fascinating. Do you believe Tina when she claims she doesn’t remember singing with Janis? Reason I ask is... the photos I have seen of them together onstage... I’m not gonna lie. I love Janis. Her singing. But she looked like she was three sheets to the wind from the pics I saw. Word was Janis was trashed that night. I don’t know if any truth to that? The last time I seen someone with that same look onstage..... She died in 2011. Completely wasted.
@@MickeyFlipper Tina seems to have selective memory. She stated that Jimi Hendrix did not play with Ike and Tina, but Ike said he did and Jimi himself confirmed he did in fact play in his band. Janis was wasted. I read that when she and Tina interacted backstage, Tina said something to her about her drinking. They were at a concert, most people are wasted. Janis wasn't a scheduled performer, she was a fan and just jumped on stage.
@@bluesugar58 Wow I had no idea. Thank you. I also read somewhere that Tina also advised on Janis singing style. Something about warning Janis she’s wrecking her voice the way she sings. Any truth to that?
Why is it that most of the young ones have to go so early? I would of have loved to see what she would be singing today?. I wonder who she's inspired along the years? Her anniversary is coming in october 4, it's time I thanked her for her music.will there be a special on her coming up?
who is michael thomas? I honestly think he sounds like such a cool guy, yet he seems to have disappeared...no sign of his book "lies" as cavett says in this show, can't find any mention of him online aside from stuff about this interview. (plus he is (was...) kind of adorable ;) )
It's still difficult to believe if Dick Cavett actually didn't know who TINA TURNER was at this point??? Really?? Tina Turner was wayyy before Janis, Jimi, Jim Morrison...ANY of them......she had been on Johnny Carson at this point several times....American Bandstand numerous times etc...the big TNT show. Had hits with "River Deep Moutain High", "A Fool In Love", "Idolize You", "It's Gonna Work Out Fine" and had toured internationally and in the US with the Rollin Stones twice, and Ike had kicked out Jimi Hendrix from their band because of how he played the guitar (little did he know what Jimi would become). And Tina was Janis´ and Cher´s favourite female singer at this point..... ❤
Especially since this was recorded July 1969. Tina Turner was opening for Rolling Stones in 69 and had quite a bit of success. She would later become a star and household name but still, Dick should have known of her at this point.
I find it really odd that Dick Cavett didn't know who Tina Turner was. By 1969 they were performing with The Rolling Stones and were appearing on TV pretty regularly. Not to mention their hugely popular live shows. They had already been around for about 9 years by this point. Janis was a huge Tina Turner fan and saw them every time they performed in San Francisco and even got on stage with them when they opened for The Rolling Stones at Madison Square Gardens in New York.
Any fan of Joplin has read about her wildness, her originality, her rogue behavior, her acting outside of what most people thought women should look,,act and speak like in her day. She was a rebel no doubt. She had tremendous courage no doubt. Her drinking behavior at parties has been noted. She once hit a guy over the head with a glass bottle for trying to grab her in a,sensitive part of the body...well it's a sexist thing he did, and pisses you off just reading about it. Yet, her reputation and even her singing hides a most astounding thing about Janis...she was honest to the core, and her heart was always tender, it's walls were paper thin.
What I like about Janis is her natural look. No eye makeup and I couldn't detect any on her face. No fancy hair style, just long and natural. Okay so it was 1969. We all looked like her that way. But unless you see her like this talking seriously about music you'd think she was just that screaming singing wild girl on stage usually high on something. Too bad she had to die so young. Too many years of talent left behind.
But still...... Tina Turner was wayyy before Janis, Jimi, Jim Morrison...ANY of them......she had been on Johnny Carson at this point several times....American Bandstand numerous times etc....
my god i would have loved to have seen the two of them together. has tina ever talked about janis or did she get to know her enough to say anything about her?
Brian Karpas janis and tina performed together at a rolling stones concert where tina was the opening act and janis was in the audience and they sang a song together
Tina was asked if she ever performed with Janis and she said no even though there are pictures of them onstage together! Tina said Janis was a big fan and often attended Ike & Tina shows in San Francisco.
I just watched the complete episode and could you ever see the difference between people than and now… Talking the so-called big stars like Janis Joplin. What a shame she was a drug addict and died of an overdose… The wrong crowd no education. Michael Thomas was a nobody can freaky… And the overall show Dick Cavett showed to be the smartest and most educated and quite witty. Boy have times change though
That’s too bad. It’s legal and I’ll smoke when I feel like it. I wish alcohol was not socially acceptable. We would have less traffic deaths and alcoholics today but that’s what people think is okay….to get drunk and drive their car home and you’re concerned about smoking. Janis would tell you….too bad…..leave the room if you don’t like the smoke just don’t kill anyone on your way home from the local bar. I’ll go smoke my cigarette and everyone is safe on the roadways because of it.
No one has a clue who Michael Thomas is now... And with good reason. Why was he a writer? He has nothing of any interest to say. Talk about hard work. No intelligence, no originality, nothing.
@@zoehannah6278 You're implying that I'm describing myself. That guy seems to be stoned. Not a good interview state to be in. He's not capable of making any sense. It's disrespectful to the interviewer.
Not all writers are good "off the cuff" conversationalists or interviewees. Most take their time to formulate or refine what they want to say. Mr Thomas might be that kind of writer and not have been stoned. He looked a bit lost - might have been jet-lagged, a bit in awe of Ms Joplin, not comfortable on camera, or any one of numerous reasons for his less than stellar appearance on the show. I feel he had an interesting point of view. His comment about the older generation failing might have been referring to the political climate, the failure to address the racial inequality and the poor, the rise of nuclear threat, and/or the reasons the younger generation was "dropping out" and doing drugs. He's also British and their post-war rationing & inability to get food & goods lasted MUCH longer than in America -- so that might also color his opinion. I'd be interested to read something of his opinion from then and now.
Janis was so brilliant & funny and just truly smart and honest. Loved her.
One in a million lifetimes is Janis. There'll never be another woman even touch what she could do to an audience. Gone far to soon. Wish this generation could've had the privilege of seeing her live. RIP beautiful lady
We are. She still here.
Tina most definitely is (was) in that category of totally unique performers for whom there will never be anyone that replaces them.
👍
She died way to young. She was such a beautiful soul and spirit. RIP hip rock queen!
Janis presenting Tina Turner to America was great!
Joplin's laugh is so contagious...
I miss Janis and Mama Cass.......🌈🙏🥰

The word is ISPIRATION. Very basic but energetic
Love Janis Joplin. What a talent.
Janis's disdain for Ike Turner is perfect.
She said everything you need to know about him with a look, her tone of voice and what she didn't say.
I love her laugh...so sweet 😍
Looks like a cross between Bob Dylan and the guy from The Mod Squad
Janis.....such a gentle woman. Wish we still had her on earth.
This really shows janises beutiful personality
I wish he interviewed jim morrison.
paul cooper
Yeah, that would have been cool! You would've loved it and would've been respectful.
He did!

'I am, quite a bit" JANIS JOPLIN.
I love Janis her sense of humor. ❤
"I am, quite a bit" ♡!

Here is a reference to said Michael Thomas and his obscurity after the DC appearance. frankhudson.org/2017/01/10/this-ones-for-david-jones/
Janis was so cute and funny and kind
Gone way too soon :(
I also loved how she mentioned Tina Turner before she was a huge star
Janis was not Feelin Ike Turner at all!

@@tomwellman1757 awkward moment.
Looked like the cameraman wanted to pan over to janis when they were talking about michael's long hair...
Just waiting on the comment from someone who never met or knew JJ saying they miss her.
@KosmicJanis well said, exactly i feel the same way.

Actually Tina came onto the national music scene in 1960, years before this interview.

It's possible that Tina's name just wasn't ringing a bell. She wasn't THAT huge yet. Maybe if he heard a couple records, he would've known then.
But still...... Tina Turner was wayyy before Janis, Jimi, Jim Morrison...ANY of them......she had been on Johnny Carson at this point several times....American Bandstand numerous times etc....
I'm not sure how Mick Jaeger failed but then again I am writing this in 2020
