Da giovane la Joplin si avvicinò al blues e nel 1964 insieme al chitarrista dei Jefferson Airplane incisero delle session blues che includevano sette pezzi!
Janis era una perfezionista nata, proprio questo lato del suo carasttere la portò a cambiare svariati gruppi, nel 1969 iniziò la sua carriera da solista e fu accompagnata dai Kozmic blues band.
Questa artista condivise apertamente l'ideale del Peace and Love, lei e altri gruppi e cantanti parteciparono al famosissimo Festival di Woodstock e al concerto in memoria di Martin Luther King.
Il suo stile emancipato era volto alla difesa dell'uguaglianza fra bianchi e neri, ideale cresciuto anche dall' amore verso le sue cantanti blues preferite!!!
Come dimenticare le sue splendide canzoni, Peace of my heart, cry baby, Me and Bobby Mcgee, Mercedes benz e tante tantissime altre...
Come tutti i più grandi artisti della storia della musica , KURT COBAIN, ELVIS PRESLEY, JIM MORRISON anche Janis Joplin ci lasciò a soli 27 anni, la causa della sua morte fu per overdose di eroina!
Voglio concludere questo pezzo, in onore di questa grande artista citando una frase della DISC MAGAZINE:
"Janis Joplin è il Soul"......
