Janis Joplin : Farewell Song



Janis Lyn Joplin

 (January 19, 1943 – October 4, 1970)

 was an 

American singer

 and songwriter. 

One of the most

 iconic and successful 

rock performers

of her era, 

she was noted for her

 powerful

 mezzo-soprano

 vocals 

and her

 "electric"

 stage presence.

In 1967, Joplin rose to

  prominence following

 an appearance at

 the Monterey Pop Festival, 

where she was 

the lead singer 

of the then

 little-known 

San Francisco 

psychedelic rock band 

Big Brother

 and

 the Holding Company.

 After releasing

 two albums 

with the band, 

she left Big Brother

 to continue as a 

solo artist

 with her 

own backing groups, 

first the 

Kozmic Blues Band 

 and then the

Full Tilt Boogie Band. 

She performed at

 the 1969 Woodstock Festival 

and on the

 Festival Express train tour. 

Five singles

 by Joplin 

reached the US 

Billboard Hot 100, 

including a cover of

 the Kris Kristofferson song 

"Me and Bobby McGee", 

which posthumously

 reached number one

 in March 1971. 

Her most popular songs

 include her

 cover versions of 

"Piece of My Heart", 

"Cry Baby",

 "Down on Me",

 "Ball and Chain", 

and

 "Summertime", 

as well as her 

original song

 "Mercedes Benz", 

which was her 

final recording.
