Its Sunday and Classic time :D
One of the most known female in the rock/psychedelic soul business is Janis Joplin. I dont know anyone that have had sucha feeling when she sings.
The last recording of Janis was done the 1st of October 1970, I think the song was "Mercedes Benz" on the 4th she left her earthly life, that been both bad and good, in the end it was mainly about the drugs, .
But even then it couldnt kill her strength or drive to create more music.
Drugs really do shit with peoples head and soul.
Anyway she is one of the coolest singers in this genre.
The tune I´ve choosen today is "Ball 'n' Chain" this is a tune by Big Mama Thornton, she wrote and recorded "Ball 'n' Chain," which became a hit for her.
Janis Joplin later recorded it with the Big Brother and the Holding Company where Janis was the lead singer from 1966-1968 then they sorta splitted up.
(Janis sang the song twice at Woodstock 1969, after fans cheered for an encore).
Ladys and Gents, here is Janis Joplin!
Peace and Love to ya all, Thetania
