1. I miss Janis

:-( Thanks for posting this.

2. I have a theory that Bonnie Bramblett and Janis were in competition

Each album they put out spurred the other to outdo them...

7. If Bonnie Bramlett did Summertime I wanna know about it.

Aint they both amazing? And the cool thing is Bonnie's still alive and singing ~~~~~~~~~~~~ !

3. Cool. She makes it raunchy. The one that gives me an orjazzm is

Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, of course.

4. I love the song "Summertime"

but could never get into Janis Joplin's singing. I love all the music from the '70s, but she was the least of my favorite singers.

5. Drug addled screeching.

That ain't singing.
:-(

9. You are in a teensy-tiny minority.

11. It CAN sound like that.

But to people who like her, she's doing a lot more than screeching.

6. Oh how odd . . .

I was listening to Ms. Joplin this past weekend!

12. I have a great sentimental attachment to the song...

because when I was little my mother used to sing it to me as a sort of lullaby!

I prefer the earlier, Ella Fitzgerald version to Janis Joplin however. But I love any version!
