Πριν από 45 χρόνια η Janis Joplin (19 Ιανουαρίου 1943 - 4 Οκτωβρίου 1970) έφυγε από τη ζωή σε ηλικία 27 ετών γράφοντας μέρος της ροκ ιστορίας.

From 'Cheap Thrills' (1968)

Erma Franklin, Aretha's older sister, recorded the original version of 'Piece of My Heart.' She hit the R&B Top 10 with it in 1967. But once Joplin covered it, everyone forgot about Franklin. And for good reason: 'Piece of My Heart' made Joplin a star. Her performance is so great that she manages to make even the usually stifled Big Brother and the Holding Company sound good. A truly transcendental record for Joplin.
