[@niccolean]

“I’d trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday” is one of my very favorite lines in all of rock ‘n roll.

[@alanfriesen9837]

It's too bad she carried through on that.

[@frederickbays405]

Yes so much

[@stephanietip]

And Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.I am literally wearing the t-shirt right now with that saying and Janis's picture on it.

[@alexanderwalter4595]

Instead of her letting Bobbie McGee slip away, it is all of us who het Janis slip away.

[@daveholyoak7472]

Niccolean; Kris Kristofferson the songwriter said its a country song. I take his opinion over yours

[@debbiechang5781]

One of the greatest lyrics of all time, “Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose”. Delicious and genius. Such a great song and she just put her stamp on in to make it magnificent. So sad that she passed before it was released and she never got to see its huge success. Great reaction Harri. 🌺✌️

[@niteowl789]

It's full of great lyrics, "I'd trade all my tomorrows, for one single yesterday", is another favorite.

[@jayarr961]

' windshield wipers slappin time ' is impressive as well as 'feeling near as faded as my jeans' The man can write

[@frederickbays405]

@@jayarr961 Ya but it took her voice to make it truly great

[@maryroberts9233]

Kris Kristofferson wrote Me and Bobby McGee, Janis added the soul.

[@John_Chu]

The quiet yet still intense side of Janis can be heard in her rendition of “Little Girl Blue.” You would do yourself and your viewers a solid by playing that song, Harri.

[@marymarin7797]

This my favorite of hers!💝

[@patrician7445]

Yes, please!

[@arlaabrell8658]

I was going to suggest Little Girl Blue too, it's one of her very best.

[@jimirayo]

Take a listen to 'Mercedes Benz'. Janis sings in a capella.

[@solitarybee3714]

Along with 'Me and Bobby McGee', that's one of my favorites by Janis. Short, but you will love it for sure!

[@davidvornsand6054]

Janis doesn’t scream! She puts all her soul into a song! Any that you listen to she’s controlled and perfect and then she lets loose with passion that is not for the timid.☮️❤️🙏

[@monickalynn4365]

Janis screams and it's awesome,she did many other sounds qlso

[@39thala]

Kristofferson didn't even know she had recorded this until right after she died. Harri, you should also check out Roger Miller's original version which was a country hit.

[@craigmccausland1183]

Fabulous! She really made that song her own, even Krisstofferson admited that! Thanks for the reaction!

[@artfisk3]

"summertime " and "maybe" are 2 joplin songs with a blues side

[@tonydelapa1911]

So glad you got to this one. Two lyrics that stand out: “Freedom’s just another word for nothing-left-to-lose” - and - “Well, I’d trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday.”

[@rodneygriffin7666]

There is reason why she was an early inductee of the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. She was incredible and influenced vocalists, both Male and Female. Died at 27. Damn. Beautiful Artist.

[@sharonpate5481]

Have you reacted to “Mercedes Benz” by Janis Joplin? It shows her fun side with a little giggle at the end of the song. You should check it out ☮️🌼♥️🇺🇸 My favorite Kristofferson song is “Jesus Was a Capricorn” because I am also a Capricorn ♑️

[@subwaygoddess1]

@Sharon Pate, YES to Mercedes Benz! It is lots of fun to hear and makes me smile even after all these years. ✌

[@andythrush3341]

It's not just her voice on this song but It's the musical composition and interpretation of the song that truly makes this song so great for her. Remember Janis was the driving force behind tha bands/musicians she played with. She also wrote a little bit too. Much like Linda Ronstadt, she covered songs and made them uniquely and wonderfully hers.

[@ToddSauve]

Harri, if there is one thing that is absolutely apparent it is that you like the music from the 60s through 80s the most. You are a soul born out of your time, ha, ha! I have heard this song so many times I have a hard time believing people haven't heard it. But I'm in my 60s now and I suppose that explains it. I really like the fact that you have a straightforward love of music. This is actually country-blues and that is a really good band! The "Full Tilt Boogie Band" from Canada, my country! My sister's Grace's favourite album is _Pearl,_ along with anything from JJ Cale! 😉🎸😎🎶

[@Russ_Keith]

The great and wonderful JJ! And of course Pearl, the album she deserved to make. We're lucky she got the time.

[@nancybrant5631]

Harris. You must listen to her do Summertime. It's lullaby from the musical Porgy and Bess.

[@Stephen-nd1sx]

This song never gets old!

[@sandrastephens1508]

One of my favourite songs. Janice was gone way to soon.

[@sharidyer4332]

I'm guessing you haven't heard her sing "Summertime" yet. She does it beautifully. Yes, Kris wrote this song, and he is insanely good with his lyrics, I agree. But Bobby McGee belongs to Janis, and Kris would be the first to acknowledge that.

[@brittjohnson8053]

Saw Kris in concert years ago. The way he described her signing Bobby McGee with the utmost admiration and tenderness made me legit tear up.

[@philippesauvie639]

One of the greatest songs ever recorded if you ask me! Rock/country and then they take you to church! Janis…WOW!

[@stephenmichalski2643]

WOW......Just frickin WOW. Song sends me off on so many levels....for so many reasons.....kinda an anthem for the footloose and fancy free days of my youth.....As for Kris.....great guy.....met him back in the day....Mr. Bonehead here was drunk....got my car stuck in his front yard....he had this circle turn around driveway.....a lawn surrounded by a somewhat high cement curb....somehow....hiccup😵😵😵....the car jumped the curb.......totally stuck....long story short.....he comes out with this contraption he specially made for such an event.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣....says it happens all the time.....more to the story....kinda funny....but I'll keep it short .....he gave us a tour of his house....down to earth....no "air" of stardom .....personable as hell. Soul.

[@solitarybee3714]

I've loved Kris' music for many years, as well as his obviously good & kind character & heart. Talented, too!

[@davidstenton4365]

*Harri* The journey these lyrics evoke are amazing, right.? Kris Kristofferson wrote this but it belongs forever to Janis.... It was her *biggest commercial hit* but sadly she never knew it as it was released shortly after her death...! For some reason in my mind I always thought of this like Otis Redding's *Sittin on the dock of the bay* It was his biggest hit, but was also released shortly after his early death......ALWAYS loved this song.....

[@monickalynn4365]

Such a awitch from what I've heard from her.Wow.Damn. 27? She had so much raw musical intuition and talent.Eff drugs,I despise drugs.

[@bemused9522]

Janis will always be our "Pearl". God bless her soul. Great reaction Harri 💕

[@MrChelsidy]

Kris Kristofferson said that the recording engineer was so amazed he called him up after she recorded it and had him listen to it. He admitted that it was her song from that point forward.

[@RainbowMaille]

my favorite Janis Joplin song

[@khriskapone]

Check out Janis on Summertime you'll appreciate it. Dig the channel. Keep doing your thang

[@danielslover8669]

She’s a female version of Chris Stapleton. They can sing any chord, but most people want to hear the extreme.

[@genekillingsworth8994]

I was just thinking the same thing. I would willingly listen to either of them sing the breakfast menu.

[@rodneygriffin7666]

Mercedes Benz. React.

[@cherylmcguire2972]

Thus really shows off the pure quality of her voice ❤

[@Cboy2023]

Harry play her “Little Girl Blue” a heartbreaking ballad …no screaming amazing!!!

[@kellyespinoza8924]

Harri she is so great, but left here to soon.💔 Texas was so proud of her, she was from Beaumont Texas just outside of houston.🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@sherylhenley1931]

Hollering and screaming? That's blues, soul, and some boogie woogie thrown in for good measure son. Wow.

[@ChuckHackney]

Classic song line, one of the most iconic in the rock era...."freedom's just another word for nothing left to loose...."; one of the most memorable lines in rock music history...

[@BeeKnown]

Wow, she has an incredible voice, I've heard her name before but don't think I've really heard her perform before so thanks for sharing. Will definitely be checking out more music from her. Hope you check out more music from twenty one pilots

[@leec5170]

Good for you! You seem to to be very open- minded.

[@dalee72]

This song has some blues, soul & gospel influences too in addition to country rock.

[@christianmattison6096]

As incredible as Janice was - it's a shame that her band didn't get the credit they deserved. The band is absolutely top notch in every way. I'm not sure Janice would have risen to the musical heights she attained without this amazing group of musicians who fit her style like a well fitting glove! Thank you Harri! I appreciate your observations!

[@ChuckHackney]

This is also one of those memorable iconic lines. Well said to bring it up!!!

[@stephenhuber1219]

Kris was a golden gloves boxer and Rhode Scholar, West Poing Grad. who gave up a West point teaching job to work as a janitor at Columbia Recording Studio.

[@danjoda755]

Premature observation Harry. Oh my, referring to Janis as "not a one trick pony", almost sounds like damning with faint praise. Love the song, not so much the comments this time. ☮️🙄

[@jodyariewitz7349]

Gotta love the Queen!!!❤❤❤👏👍💯

[@JohnSmith-oj6ir]

Great album. She finally got the band she deserved. Janis and Kris were supposedly lovers for a brief time. When she finished this track she said, "Kris will shit when he hears this.!" Listen to the Kristofferson song "Requiem - Black and Blue." He wrote it for her after attending her wake. It will break your heart.

[@BOOMNERD51]

Eoutapj in Black and Blue, Kris really got her vulnerably and it is heart breaking.

[@wgj4everlong426]

Don't listen to it Harri,makes me cry everytime.It's beautiful,just Kris with Donnie Fritts on Keyboard at 4 am after laying Janis to rest.Heartbreaking

[@neilmartin99]

And I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday Holding Bobby's body next to mine

[@alexanderwalter4595]

The name of the backup band playing the instruments was "Full Tilt Boogie". Never has there been a more aptly named backup band.

[@HaFannyHa]

The Full Tilt Boogie Band were the perfect band - finally Janis had musicians who could adapt along with her, to cover so many stylistic bases on this album. So glad you're loving Janis!

[@davelehnen3300]

The band on this album was the Full Tilt Boogie Band, with Brad Campbell on bass and Ken Pearson on organ. I don't think they ever got very famous, but were fine musicians.

[@montymontano8618]

The band was heavily criticized at the time as being what Janis deserved.

[@phil5762]

I believe these were the musicians: Brad Campbell, bass; Clark Pierson, drums; Ken Pearson, organ; John Till, gui tar, and Richard Bell, piano

[@rogerkelly7988]

I think that she recorded this song right before she died and was released after she didn't get to see what a monstrous hit it turned out to be RIP Janis

[@danielolson5378]

I completely agree the bass player and the organ player are some real bad asses!!

[@juliewillis9539]

My 75 year old father danced to this song. We didn't analyze anything. It brought joy!! We didn't care we just danced.

[@johnflynn5044]

A rough diamond.. An incredible vocal range and incredible musician as well as singer songwriter... Very few folk have as much soul and no white singer ever came near... So glad you stopped when you did.. The la de dahs are so beautiful and soft, contrasting what went before ..The late arrival of the Church organ was inspired and absolutely perfect taking the piece up a level Janice played guitar on the single but Brad Campbell was on base..

[@marycoplin7875]

Spot On, Harri. Your comments are my thoughts exactly.

[@jaydMANifistation]

I think Country Rock is an apt description, but it is also a genre. Have you ever heard Georgia Satellites? Please check out their song Keep Your Hands to Yourself. I would be surprised if you never heard it playing in the background while shopping at the mall.

[@dancapell6643]

Janis Joplin, was gifted with a great talent! Way too bad she destroyed herself with drugs, sometimes I wonder though how a lot of these musicians and singers would have performed without the drugs.

[@kj320175]

Little girl blue- Janis Joplin is her greatest song you'll love it, another chill song

[@P-M-869]

Kriss was told to wrote a song about a lady at the studio. He misheard her name. which was Bobbi McKee. When they heard Janis's version they knew they had a mega hit.

[@markkleckner3060]

Good reaction, she did pretty good here I must agree, God Bless!

[@MarceloFoohs]

She was intense!! Love her...

[@willcool713]

The backstory I heard in an interview with Kris Kristofferson, he'd been impressed with Jonny Cash's, A Boy Named Sue, and he wanted to follow on the gender-bending name twist trope, while it was still popular. So he wrote, Me and Bobby McGee, to be sung from a male perspective. He recorded it and it did okay. But then Janis recorded it and he said, "She took it and made it her own."

[@BOOMNERD51]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWW1oZqdpqqSppo

[@rranger1014]

Richard Bell, piano extraordinaire!

[@buster9106]

For people growing up during her lifetime, this was probably her biggest overall hit. It really crossed genres and generations.

[@todstapleton3911]

Love this song

[@pamelaflanner317]

I am 77 yrs old. Saw Janis at the first rock concert in Philadelphia many many years ago. She was the singer for Big Brother and the Holding Company. Everyone was blown away. She was a mezzo soprano and could doi almost anything. Still listening to her. Love your station.

[@brandy012173]

First, I hope you look into the history of the song. She recorded it like 3 days before she died and the writer didn’t even know she sang and recorded until like the day after the day she passed, ~ or something like that. ~ It didn’t come out until What gave her what she had was, ironically her innocence and vulnerability. Telling you. Look up this famous nude of her. You will not see a screaming flame of a strange rebel female. I have no idea how she got talked into this. The photograph is titled “Janis Joplin Standing Nude” by Ben Seidemann. She definitely looked real and vulnerable and honest. Beautiful really.

[@melissakennedy1506]

Thanks for another great reaction.. I like her song Mercedes Benz. Not sure why, but this song always make me think of the Dylan song Tangled Up in Blue

[@charlesbarry2485]

A haunting voice. Talented singer Gone too soon. Like Amy Winehouse ,Billie Holiday and many talented artistes she was destroyed by the same demons that haunted them

[@eclconsulting]

Holding back, restraining her voice, shows such control and gives such a beauty and emotional depth to her singing. I had this album as a young teen but didn't appreciate it as much as I do now.

[@The5thGen]

Kristofferson was married to another famous singer, Rita Coolidge, who was Native American, who was a member of Robbie Robertsons's , Red Road Ensemble who performed a stellar version of It Is A Good Day To Die which can be found on KZbin.

[@solitarybee3714]

My hubby & I have always loved Kris, Willie, Rita & Robbie - & I love Janis, too.

[@Thatgirl1973]

Love this, love you! You NEVER disappoint.

[@michaelstamper3096]

There is a video with all instruments isolated. Brad Campbell

[@MaddyN999]

There is a great interview with Kris about his relationship with Janice you should check out.

[@maximesteinebrunner9941]

The band is the Full Tilt Boogie Band und the bassplayer is Brad Campbell

[@michaelfrazer1807]

Great. Thank You

[@deannacrownover3]

To hear the true gift she had, listen to Little Girl Blue. Janis' story is dually tragic. She never knew how much we loved her. She passed while we were waiting on the Pearl album to be released. Her death is one that still makes me weep. So unfair.

[@ronbrown912]

You are right, Harri. Kris Kristofferson is one of the great songwriters of all time. This along with Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down are two of my fav Kristofferson songs. Check out Johnny Cash's verion of Sunday Mornin'. You will like it as it paints a picture as the dong unfolds. Great stuff.

[@publicclammer]

I'll turn 80 next month...why do I find this long familiar song heartbreaking...

[@SanJoseBob]

Kris Kristofferson wrote this song about a Secretary they had named Barbara McGee, but she was concerned what her husband might think it was about her life, so Kris called it “Bobby McGee”. What an excellent Storyteller, just Genius!…SanJoseBob

[@dsusan17]

She was such a influence. It was such a tragic loss. Great pick and analysis Harri!

[@rranger1014]

Groovy shirt to boot!

[@itmightbme]

Love this 💜💜💜

[@ThePittsburghToddy]

This was recorded just days before she passed. I love ❤️ her!✌🏻

[@happymethehappyone8300]

JANIS JOPLIN "MERCEDES BENZ"

[@ucancallmeray8520]

great reaction Harri. there is a lot of country in a lot of rock...Peaceful Easy Feeling by The Eagles; Squeeze Box by The Who; Ramblin' Man by Allman Bros are three great songs worth checking out!

[@mojo3657]

According to the album, Bob Campbell is the bass player

[@davidmaholchic6146]

Sadly this song became a huge hit after her death at 27. What could’ve been… Love you

[@warbaby5490]

Kris Kristofferson could turn a phrase. It was like instant recognition. 'Sunday Morning Coming Down' is another song where you feel the trip!

[@richardsear8008]

Good reaction. Try 'Mercedes-Benz' for a short but very sweet unaccompanied song by Janis

[@jamma2916]

There's an interview somewhere with the piano player in this song.

[@ALong-fo5so]

Singers don’t scream. They belt but they don’t scream, certainly not Janis.

[@ToddSauve]

Some do scream and ruin their voice early because they never learned the proper technique for belting. It is quite a hard thing to learn that technique because it requires the training of muscles in your throat and around your larynx, as well as opening your mouth wide and in the proper shape to produce the amplitude of vocals you want. Look up a South Korean singer named So Hyang. She is, IMHO, the best singer in the world right now and can _really_ belt with the best of them! David Foster puts her right beside Whitney Houston! Check her out with this song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWfMeZtqrqeredE And this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/imW4qnyDoMmsaq8

[@wiggion]

Her version the still the best. Heard the interview with Kristofferson about he knew Janis when she was recording song and then his shock at her death. we Lost so many in their younger years. morrison, hendrix and joplin and i like 13-14-15 years old. and otis redding got so much radio play

[@CB-gr1uk]

OMG! One trick pony? Wow dude! It is her raspy voice on the higher notes that may sound to you like she is screaming but it isn't screaming!

[@susancrawford5927]

Hi Harri: As others are suggesting you owe it to yourself to listen to the OFFICIAL VERSION OF "LITTLE GIRL BLUE". You will love it.

[@franceshaas8255]

Good analysis.

[@nancymartineau-bauman6018]

I love this song, I guess because as a little girl my Dad liked it and he wasn't much of a rock n roll person. We could listen and sing it together. Thanks for your reaction to this song.

[@thomastimlin1724]

What Janis did here was hold back to set the mood, tell the story, and then reward you with cutting loose. It's an old musical trick that never fails. the old slow build.

[@rranger1014]

Her Texas roots come through here.

[@suzanneprock7286]

This reminds me when I was in Jr. High School at the Skating Rink, they played this song so much!

[@chrislind57]

Kris Kristopherson and Rita Coolidge who he was married to at one time doing a duet on "Help Me Make it Through The Night" and watch them, not just listen to them.. It's so intimate, not dirty, like no one else was there, like they were only singing to each other.

[@solitarybee3714]

They were indeed great together.

[@noneed4me2n7]

The eagles had a lot of tracks you’d probably call “country rock”.

[@stephenhuber1219]

Janis recorded this just before her death. Janis and Kris had a special relationship and didn't know she recorded this until after she died.

[@debbiecox3186]

If you think that about Janis Joplin you definitely weren't around when she was!!!!!! OMG have you missed out

[@josepharnita2748]

Harri play Smokey Robisons songs like ohh baby baby and tears of a clown
