“I met a girl who sang the blues…” ~ American Pie (Don McLean) That Girl is Janis Joplin

[@gotham61]

When I was a young kid in the 70s I had a mix tape I had made, and on it American Pie was followed by Me And Bobby McGee. I listened to that tape a lot, so whenever I hear American Pie somewhere, I'm always waiting for Janis to come on after it ends. Amazingly, one day about 10 years ago I was driving while listening to a classic rock station, and they played American Pie, followed immediately by Me and Bobby McGee. I was so shocked I almost drove into a ditch. What are the chances of that??

[@markpekrul4393]

Janis was a jewel...saw a documentary about her - she attended her high school reunion after she had hit the big time but was still nervous and afraid no one would want to talk to her or be seen with her because that's what they had done to her when she was a student. Another beautiful soul chewed up and spit out by the ugly side of the era in which she lived.

[@swampwitch6133]

I really feel bad for her an have to wonder if her family, friends and even those she went to school with had treated her better and if she hadn't been so ostricised if maybe she would still be alive and he would have never gotten as deeply addicted to heroin as she did. Because honestly everything I've read and heard it really tore her down not feeling like she was loved and people calling her "ugly". Janis was FAR from it. Janis was and will always be beautiful to some of us both in appearance and her soul. RIP Janis

This is one of those songs that has even more impact when you learn the backstory. Kris was ready to give up being a songwriter, and this is the song that turned his career around. The saddest part is, she never got to know how deeply she touched people. She died the day before the album was released. Kris had to make himself listen to it, because he knew he'd be hearing it on the radio and he had to be able to deal with what was to come.

[@tallmn1957]

She actually died the day before her last vocal was to be recorded which was the track Buried Alive In The Blues. It made it on the album but with no vocals. They were waiting at the studio for her to lay down the vocals but she had died the night before in her hotel room.

After your previous reaction to Janis, I rebought her LPs and have been entirely blown away again, 30 years after the first time...Her voice defies description...truly a gift from God, and I say that as an atheist lol

[@kandicelee7299]

I stumbled on you guys tonight, big mistake! 😭 I have been binge watching now for hours! And........ I have no more tissues OR toilet paper in the house! You guys make me feel all the emotions I felt when I was experiencing these concerts as they happened! Yes....I’m that old!😱🤣 thank you! Huge support to you from an old rock and roll lady! 💖💜

[@robertmiller2633]

Every time I try to watch one of their vids, I end up in a binge fest !! These guys are the best reaction channel I've found, and their music selection is great.

[@bluesman6891]

This was the last song Janis recorded the studio before she died :( she left it in a very high note

[@mzblue7214]

I love Janis!! I love how you love her toooooo!!!!! Awesome.

[@evanbirnholz2803]

Next Janis song to check out is Summertime (from Porgy and Bess)

[@TodayImMaking]

Have you listened to "Try (Just a Little Bit Harder)" yet? It's another Janis masterpiece.

[@matthiaspaddeo9988]

Thank's Kris and thank you Janis for this performance.

[@ginnyboetel2891]

The sad part about this is she died before it came out and was a huge hit. RIP Janis

[@patrickquinlan67]

I'm rediscovering the joy of the music I used to take for granted as I was growing up. Thank you and may you be blessed and know that you are blessed. May your present needs be met and may your deepest needs be met. May you be blessed.

[@tomh5006]

One of the best comments I have ever read on these reaction channels. And I am not really a religious man. Well said. May you be blessed too sir.

[@13chigrl]

I feel this to my soul! I was born in 70 and this music shaped my childhood. Listening is bringing back memories both good AND bad and I love it! Their enthusiasm is so contagious ♥️♥️ Keep it up 👍🏼

[@sallysharp3845]

I've been waiting for you to listen to this one. Sadly this came out after her death. This song was written by Kris Kristofferson, who is a great singer songwriter himself. He loves Janis version which made this song a hit.

[@theodoreritola9758]

JANIS.. J was VERY VERY VERY POPULAR IN THE LATE 60s And early 70s, BIG TIME POPULAR

[@maryroberts9233]

Gotta totally agree....Mercedes- Benz, Move Over, Summertime, and Piece Of My Heart are Phenomenal. Love the Janis shirt by the way. Janis Joplin sings from her heart and soul

[@sopwithpuppy]

I'm SO glad that Amber has fallen in love with Janis. This means not only do we get to hear our old favorites from Janis, but we also get to experience Amber's JOY and BLISS when she hears Janis do her thang. You apologized when Jay said he knew it was going to be Janis because it's Female Friday, but don't apologize. It's what your audience wants as well. I have been watching you guys for so long, and today I thought I'd check out what was new in your channel and discovered TO MY HORROR that I had not subscribed! I immediately rectified the situation. All you other viewers should follow suit and subscribe to this amazing couple. Love you guys!

[@RobertSmith-iw2kb]

Janice is a texas girl,and dont forget the band.big brother and the holding company. Not that she even needed a band.

[@CCDzine]

Can we also acknowledge how good Big Brother and the Holding Company is?

[@chrispopejoy6652]

Yes! One hell of a band behind her for sure 😎😃

[@HighwayRamos]

Absolutely, was looking for this comment.

[@michaelt6218]

No, that's _not_ Big Brother and the Holding Company. On this album, which would be her last (sadly), the backing band was called Full Tilt Boogie. And man were they great!

[@O_Towne_Bear]

"Summertime" is a must

[@whanuipuru4446]

I'm thrilled that younger people are listening to Janis. I was aware of her since 1971. And yes she can rock your socks off and startle you by the instrumental and of course her unique raspy voice. She certainly is the Queen of Rock.

[@johnflores5286]

I remember riding in my father's 1974 Impala super sport.... This was in 1978.... And he had this blasting on the 8-track....💔🥲

[@larrywt656]

Simply one of the greatest songs and recordings of all time. Period. The album Pearl was her masterpiece. Unfortunately, she didn't live to see its success, passing away a few months before its release.

[@your_huge_ego_bores_me]

She died 2 weeks after this was recorded.

[@redpine8665]

A classic written by Kris Kristofferson. "I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday..."

[@micheleferrazzani638]

Kris Kristofferson is also a legendary singer/songwriter. This song was released 4 months after Janis died and became a number 1 hit.

[@johns881]

Written by Kris Kristofferson and originally performed by Roger Miller, who’s version I much prefer tbh. Sad that he often doesn’t get the credit for being the first to release it as a track.

[@reneerollins4433]

I love Janis!!

[@russellyoung1262]

That is what they called the moog organ...great sound that groups put into songs, and it sounds great in alot of groups

[@SG-js2qn]

For me, this is the best Janis song. She died shortly after the recording. "Piece of My Heart" is a special one too.

[@boosuedon]

This album came out after her death. She had NO IDEA how much she was loved and appreciated! That SHE would become the standard for decades to come to compare R&B artists. Her recording life was only 3 years and she left an indelible foot print for all time.

[@darrelmorris-mb5mb]

I use to sing this to my college classes. They loved it!, and had never it before. I was COOL!

[@lesliejames6870]

Love your shirt... I have always loved her. I'am 65 years old and grew up with her!!! Her VOICE is so much of whom she is.. there is nobody else like her..i love everything about her. Her own style with feathers in her hair..

[@katherinereece]

When my son was a baby, I sang Janis Joplin's version of Summertime to him as a lullaby. Not *nearly* as well as Janis of course. If you don't know Summertime it's awesome.

[@debbiechang5781]

Janis does magical things with a song! That entire “Pearl” album is great. Linda Ronstadt next week? Please? Love you guys. 🌺✌️

[@reanimated]

Blue Bayou pleeeeeaaaase

[@dianeorr8937]

Olivia Newton John too🤓 Minnie Riperton with her high pitch.... Ella Fitzgerald and her ...Is it Live or is it Memorix. hehehe 🎞🎼🎺🎻🎸🎷🎹

[@CrayCruz]

Yes, Blue Bayou and Willing.

[@juliebryne2903]

@Tyler Buckley i think it was completed just not released for 4 months after her death!

[@juliebryne2903]

@Tyler Buckley i didnt know all the details of it but i knew some of that!

[@philippesauvie639]

You just listened to and reacted to one of the greatest songs ever recorded! It is a true American masterpiece.

[@SMFCLAN]

Liliac ...piece of my heart ....wonderful janis cover by kids ....this band will floor you guys ....you won't be disappointed ....in fact you will want to hear their whole xatalog....

[@jayarr961]

Some great Kristofferson lyrics and imagery in this song. "Feeling near as faded as my jeans" "with the windshield wipers slapping time" "freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose" "I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday" It is when Janis does the ending for this song, that she takes it from being a great rendition of a country classic, to becoming a Janis song.

[@tjsogmc]

"I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday..." Me too, Janice, me too....

[@loiskondo8349]

I was born in 1961 my Mom listened to artists like Janis Joplin while my Dad listened to Bing Crosby!

[@paulapowers781]

Love everything about her

[@brandyg.1634]

"Cry, Baby" is my favorite

[@gizmoed1125]

"This one is so mellow" This is Janis, you're just not there yet.

[@violettompkins206]

It is my favorite. ✌❤🎶

[@leonceboudreauxwolf]

Loved Janet..she was a legend back n the day. Good memories, including stuck in Baton Rouge, hitching it. Her soul just came out in her songs.
