Janis Joplin's Birthday!

 JANIS

"Piece of My Heart"

Janis Joplin was born in Port Arthur, Texas on this day in 1943. Take another little piece of her heart now, baby.



For what would have been her 78th birthday! Damn I miss Janis! Bought her first album (‘Cheap Thrills’ that introduced me to Robert Crumb artwork - a fan of both ever since!) when it came out! -1968- Yup I’m that ancient! Don’t s’pose most folks will play this but heck give it a try. She can blast that voice! A favourite song! Check how she brings seemingly the entire audience up on stage! Now that’s a gal and a half!! ❤️
