Janis Joplin "Raise Your Hand" on The Ed Sullivan Show

[@Proud_Texan]

Her voice can over power the brass section. I don't know of any other singer that has a voice THAT powerful.

[@bluzmansb5683]

@Proud_Texan it's called amplification and in her case.. the mic very close to her mouth. One of her biggest issues with that band is that the horns oftentimes drowned her out.

[@eckankar7756]

First concert I ever went to was Janis in 1970. I got to meet her, she hugged and kissed me and gave me her autograph which I still have all these years.

I remember all the old folks back then complaining “All she does is SCREAM, that’s not singing.” But we young’uns could feel the soul. We knew better.

Her voice was silenced 53 years ago but it will never die thanks to records and footage such as this. This makes me cry. Not to mention a great song and melody. As raw as she sounds her lyrics are easy to understand. Ed Sullivan's ratings shot thru the roof when he put rock acts on his show starting with Elvis in 1956.

[@B1jujv75]

She was a musical geneous :) One of the best female Blues vocalist of the 60.s singer and song writer :) A powerful mezzo-opera vocals and her electric stage presence was clear ....She was dubbed the first queen of rock and roll and her voice singular :) Her life cut short at just 27 years old ....In 1970 she was found in her hotel room dead :) Overdose of Heroin was found in her autopsy :) Janis would have been 78 years old today if she would have lived :) u were loved by all of us and you are missed :) RIP Janis...you were " The Rose "...Thank u for Amanda McBroom for writing it and Bette Midler for singing it ....A true classic for Janis Joplin based on her life and struggles she enjoured ... her nickname was .. " Pearl " ...

Hot band! They're rocking like Big Brother couldn't quite

[@RustBelt68]

Hey man big brother is a monument in their own right even before and without Janis. She was her own thing and she realized that when she wanted to experiment with Horns more and Big Brother wasn't about that so her manager(s) urged her to leave. Even so Janis left this band a year later saying some of them were Squares even. Also Sam Andrew is in this lineup aka the Rhythm Guitarist from Big Brother (R.I.P.)

[@garyschneider8829]

Don't be too harsh on Big Brother & The Holding Company. They were the Hot psychedelic band of San Francisco sound back in the Day. Janis just took it up the Next Level. Janis Joplin, Amazing Sweet Soul RIP ✌😍

Listen everybody. The only two known members of the Kozmic Blues Band is Sam Andrew obviously. And John Till correct me if im wrong im only a kid you guys have been listening to Janis all my life. I dig the guy playing Baritone Sax wish i knew his name or if he's alive or not. There isnt even a Wikipedia site for them so please if you see this and know anything your comments or help would be very appreciated.

[@iceman5006]

Yes John Till was in the Kosmic Blues band and in Janis Joplin's last band Full Tilt Boogie . The sax player is Snookie Flowers hope this helps. Google and KZbin should help with your questions and there are 4 or 5 biographies on Janis read them all and you will have a better understanding of one of the best Blues/Rock singers to have ever graced this earth.

[@k.tinder8905]

Unique. I read one of her biography. It said she smashed a bottle over the head of this male who was touching her inappropriately.. I'd say she stood up for herself, and had courage under fire. It also said she was the first female rocker. Well she was the best. Her voice has never been duplicated, and yes some have tried copying her. She made you feel every part of every word and song she sang. Yet, all that courage, that go for it attitude, that Unique never again beautiful voice of the blues and rock couldn't prevent her essentially killing herself. She was said to be extremely intelligent amoung her many qualities, but what she endured from school mates and boys at her school on a ongoing basis at a very young age and throughout her school years was a deep cut. No one defended her,, and she was extremely young to deal with such cruelty herself. Her Dad being a atheist and negative about life in general couldn't have helped. Yet,, she loved her folks and siblings and they got her estate when she died.. I think a lot of people are attracted to her, affected by her, because she was like the rest of humanity, with a huge differences in the super star quality of her voice and stage presence. The cruelity she received from boys and class mates didn't stop until she left Texas. No one defended her,, and she dealt with the cruelity on her own.. I believe if just ONE person had stood up for her in her=school years Joplin's ending wouldn't have ended with drugs.. she was so intelligent, so brave,, so Aware of the conditions of the human heart, and we who love her know she was just like us,, except for that super star talent. She was the best.

[@robjones2408]

Too true, sadly. The unbelievable viciousness of her classmates meant she would always be an exile in that narrow-minded society. Janis is still remembered. Those who mocked her are long-dead and forgotten.

[@catswalkjpgr]

I never saw this particular performance before. I saw the performance she did with Tom Jones (I still can’t stand him and never could even when I was a little girl. I mean I was little! He’s still a disgusting embarrassment. Some things never change). Janis’s performance with TJ is absolutely mind blowing. I saw that here on KZbin! You must see that one. She is amazing. TJ is still an disgusting embarrassment and she more than blows him away. “Raise Your Hand” with Janis and TJ(yuk). Find it on you tube here. I realized today that she had her own thing much different than anyone else like (can’t think of her name now and I’ll be back to add her name when I get it. I have Multiple Sclerosis and this happens from time to time. It’s really bad when I’m TALKING). They both seemingly popped up out of nowhere with their amazing uniqueness, burned bright for a very short time then disappeared.

[@catswalkjpgr]

I got it now--Amy Winehouse! Yes! No TJ hate mail please. I know lots of people like him and that’s ok. My feelings on him was established when I was about 3 or four in the sixties. Nope, it’s still the same back from THEN. No hate remarks please and any will be ignored. PLEASE understand that. I’ll go look for that clip with TJ and Janis. She wipes the floor with him!
