She was a Tiger! What a heart and soul! Tremendous talent!

[@bodicea186]

She is the only woman in the music industry that didn't undercut her music or her voice for anyone. She gave women a certain freedom in the 60's and she told everyone to suck it up. And never gave up. Yet there is so little appreciation. There are no statues, no books on her carving an industry for women. She didn't lean on anyone, she didn't play barbie, or house, she didn't pretend for the media. And because of that as most women in history she died young for doing what she did. An amazing talent, and a goddamn WOMAN. Never had another since.

[@Aclimade]

She could sing beautifully, she didn't. She didn't want to be that, and she sang raw. There are recordings around, from when she was young, singing like an angel. She defined what an angel sounded like in the 60's and convinced everyone.

Although she died six years before I was born, she is one of my favorite singers of all time. She is/was a TRUE artist. Back before KZbin, videos and computer searches at your fingertips, artists HAD to have talent. Now in our time and culture, talent is unfortunately based on your physical appearance. Just look pretty and we can auto tune your voice and you can lipstick. But if you’re not an attractive person, good luck getting a record deal. One of the first ladies of rock and roll. RIP Janis.

Look at the expressions of the back up, the brass, percussion, and strings. They are terrified of the reality (the dream of every musician) of tripping, I mean stepping, over the threshold into immortality. Janis takes them all with her without a moment of thought, other than to express her thought, "Of course, why should it be otherwise."

Thanks for posting her live, this made my day :)

[@backinthedayhippie609]

I was lucky enough to live during the heyday of Janis, Hendrix, and Morrison. Those three epitomized the spirit of the sixties and Janis was the Queen of the Rock World. He boldness and straightforward way was uncommon for women during that time, but sadly she was misunderstood and her tortured soul was too much for her to overcome. During her trip to her hometown of Port Arthur, TX, she wasn't received with open arms and film clips taken during her stay actually caught the hurt she experienced while there. But her music lives on and these wonderful videos of her on the Dick Cavett Show are the best. I remember seeing this for the first time in 1969.

[@roseannes335]

I was extremely fortunate to have seen Janis perform twice in person. Those were 2 of the best things I've EVER done. One was in a large venue in Memphis, TN, but I had a great seat; & the other was a relatively small venue, Winterland in San Francisco, CA, where I was right in front in the middle at the stage. All I can say is: Electrifying, & I REALLY mean it. She went through so much negativity she didn't deserve when she attempted to be a beatnik in Port Arthur, TX. Talk about being misunderstood! They still didn't understand her even after she was rich & famous--they STILL mistreated her! I've compared her to Jim Morrison who was a beatnik at around the same time. At least he was in Florida which was a little more open. People say she did look quite happy during the time before she died. They commented on her driving around town in her Porsche with the top down smiling. She certainly deserved a lot better than she got. Her friends didn't like her fiancee, because he wasn't faithful. I guess they discounted Janis' bisexuality & what that would mean. R.I.P., Janis, R.I.P!
