She was really a cause celeb in the late 60s and she had quite a cult following in the age of the summer of love, free love, and woodstock. When Amy Winehouse house broke, I immediately thought of Janis. Janis could sing.
"She started out a little strong right there" Well that is Janis -- she knocks on your butt and tears out your guts. Always, every time you listen to her, for years. Check out "Misery'n."
First time here too. Very raspy, smokey, bluesy voice. Sounds like a female Axl from Guns & Roses (or vise versa lol). Another casualty of the drug/booze fueled hippie days. Sad.
Au contraire; she wrote plenty, about 1/4 of what she sang -- "Mercedes Benz", "Misery'n", "Kosmic Blues", "Move Over", "One Good Man", "Turtle Blues", etc, etc.
I LOVE YOU JANIS !
One of my favorites. Her lives versions are the best. I'm also partial to "Ball and Chain live at Monterey Pop ", "Cry Baby ", and Work Me Lord ".
Love you Sheray!
Thanks for making me smile 😁

She was treated bad and was called the ugliest man but she sure showed them all
I guess you did not realizes you picked one of the best singer-songwriters of al time.
Fantastic singer for sure, not a songwriter at all.

@@petermott2411 She will be remembered as a fantastic singer, in my opinion one of the greatest of all time. Her songwriting was just occasional.
