Many of Joplin's more well known tunes were R&B covers written by my friend Jerry Ragovoy.
Erma Franklin (Aretha's sister)... ...Piece of My Heart Garnet Mimms... ...Cry Baby Howard Tate... ...Get It While You Can Unfortunately Try (Just A Little Bit Harder) by Lorraine Ellison isn't up on YouTube. But you can get a feel for her style from the incredible... ...Stay With Me Baby (another Ragovoy tune) Music for adventurous listeners tA  Tribal Records"Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn. C'mon y'all." | |

Janis always said that the artists she idolized and tried to emulate were Black singers such as Bessie Smith, Leadbelly, Big Mama Thornton, and Odetta. If it wasn't for them, Janis Joplin would never have been heard. But those artists are the ones who should truly be heard for their voices...Because I heard Janis sing, I went out and bought Bessie Smith and Odetta albums at a used record store when I was a teenager and their music blew me away! Too many unappreciated artists which other singers used to gain the limelight... | |

Me too. By the time I was 12 I was so heavily into Janis I had dreams about her. I tried to copy her vocal style. I love her  ...as I got older I researched who she emulated. She was one of a kind...
I know she gained success by "tributing" (my word) other artists, but she still brought her uniqueness to the music. "Let love be your perfect weapon..." ~~Andy Biersack | |
