Cotton's high, Lord, so high
#BigBrotherandTheHoldingCompany #JanisJoplin #Summertime
This was one of my mother’s favorite songs by her favorite musician. My mother died 6 years ago today. I’m playing this song (and other songs she liked) in memory of her.
RIP Mom. ♾️🕊️❤️🌻🎵
Janis Joplin was my mother’s favorite female vocalist. This song is bittersweet for me: it was my mom’s favorite Janis Joplin song and usually makes me cry. RIP mom and Janis.
♾️🕊️❤🌻
❤
Bendiciones, Christine!
Sorry for your loss. Yeah, this one brings back some good and some tough memories for me as well. I was 16 when this came out. In those years, many of us faced the draft & Vietnam with Janis in our record collections. Hearing this one is moving.
shes my moms favorite too, when i remember their death days, i play janis joplin to cheer them up and to remember them (i also set out whatever liqour they loved (like janis loved her southern comfort, i think my mom loved jim beam) and burn incense for them.
The best version of this song EVER!!!!!
Billy Stewart #1
this...(a close!) #2
Yeah, It really is.
Yes, absolutely the BEST. What a voice!
52 without Pearl . Rest in peace Janis Joplin. We miss you .
The ultimate version of this song.
Absolutely 💯
Janis Joplin’s rendition (late 60s) of “Summertime” is probably the best-known and most awesome of all pop versions of George Gershwin’s ever so famous aria (composed in 1934 for the 1935 opera “Porgy and Bess”).
Yes, the one who was aptly nicknamed “PEARL” was THAT FORMIDABLY GIFTED‼️
ONE SHEER MUSICAL GEM… then, now and for aeons❕ 💜💎💚
Always loved, never forgotten, forever missed will you remain, Janis Lyn Joplin (1943 - 1970)… 🌹
Sam Andrew arranged it.
Sean ha !
So good! No one else should ever even try to do it better.
No one was better than janice
Janis.
This literally gives me chills, every time, even after all these years.
J'aime ♥️
Got this L.P. when I was in 11th grade...........Love it to this day~
TOTALLY. 52 years ago & it’s like yesterday...every note...
Heard it for the first time today. How did I miss that? Wow.
do any of y'all know songs like this? timeless and unique? if so can you share it with me? i want to expand my playlist. any help will be truly appreciated :-)
(sorry for my english)
What a voice
♀ Tina Turner also shares her admiration for Janis Joplin’s music, saying, “She had a black soul. She felt. Her singing wasn’t about anything else except the feeling that she got. And she wasn’t trying to be anything else but Janis Joplin.” ♀
Black. White. Red. Green. Yellow. She had a soul. When Turner was getting the crap beat outta her, she was simply a woman, a human soul born into sin. ... and yet, still proud to be a TURNER. Hmmm. ... Tina Turner and Everyone Else Alike have rose colored glasses... or lily colored glasses... or lavender colored glasses... or tiger lily colored glasses.... UGGGGHHHH. Janis was a human, just as Tina, just as myself.... sad and lonely without Jesus Christ.
I'm here and I'm only 13 yrs old, I love Janis.
shhh… no one cares about age, race, or gender here my friend. let’s all come as we are, humans, and enjoy the pure expression on display here
Yup, when I was 13, i used to eat, sleep and breathe this album and sang along with every song. All the songs on it are kick-ass.
I'm thrilled to hear Janis has a place in one youngsters heart. She had a place in mine when I was a teenager, over 50 years ago. :-)
You’ve got a lot of time left to like her
Janis Joplin makes me feel like time can stop and embraces the sound of life
Shady is Legend
when this life makes you mad enough to kill
That's rock bottom, when you want something bad enough to steal
That's rock bottom, when you feel like you've had it up to here
Cause you mad enough to scream but you're sad enough to tear
JLaz328 careful with that edge, jimmy
Is this what Em sampled in Rock Bottom?
@@anusalltheway Yeah it is
I am so depressed man. Every day i feel even sadder.
So this songs is were he got it from, wow I see you em!
those guitar players knew what they were doing, wow. whole band too, go Janis !
Rest in peace, Sam Houston Andrew III, whose studies of classical music are so apparent in his guitar work here. I hope he and Janis are jamming in the sky..............
There was only ever one Janis R.I.P. doll XXX
This was the song played at my granmas memorial. Love you grandma miss you
Eargasm, this one.
I love this song so much. Janis was so incredible, I tear up a little whenever I hear this song.
Aquarius rising like David Bowie rip and Jim Morrison rip from the door's ❤❤❤❤
I was free enough as a 13 year old to be able to play this album in the living room (as opposed to being banished to my bedroom) and my aunt, a singer who loved the great songstresses of her time and before, said she thought Janis did a good job with Summertime. It was validating to me that an adult liked what I liked. Thanks Aunt Ruthie!
God bless your aunt, when my mother passed away I was fortunate enough to inherit this on vinyl !!
This song just makes you know how great she was!!!!😢😊😊❤❤
Bit of an understatement from Ruthie there
"This song is dedicated to all the happy people, all happy people who have real nice lives and have no idea what it’s like to be broke as funk."
What about the people who made it out? Why disparage them?
I believe he was quoting a song of where the beat came from.
@@secretidentitynetwork3085 it's quoting them
Thanks, I was searching where I listened this music first !
It’s a FREAKING SONG. Freaking GTF over your sorry self & deal with it already.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A 53 años si janis joplin
As far as I’m concerned this is the best song of all time. Above Led Zeppelin, above ac, above Floyd, and above anything else I‘ve seen.
How can one "see" music/song?
You mean above anything you've heard.
Agreed
50 years without her! Shine on Heaven ,Janis Lyn Joplin(1943-1970)
Big Brother and the Holding Company does a fabulous job on this song - just the single tune introduction - and the explosion into a loud raw sound, th suden sharp cutoff at 2:38 - back to a singel-tune - that's all AMAZING ... Janis does, too, together they are unbeatable, and create a sound of their own. Nothing like this, not even - and much less - in 2024.
Summer, my angel, im ready to be rescued
They were such a damn good band. I can't think of another which can so well have done justice to the superb vocals given to us by Janis.
Yeah, its a shame Janis left them, since they were all better together.
I was 16 when this came on the radio. Imagine THIS kind of music on a car radio! In my early 70's now with this being played in my living room. Loud.
🤘
YEAH!!! I'm looking at 70 here and can't believe I got this far! Anyway I really miss Sister Janis and her vocalizations, man what a set of pipes. As the bride of 48 years said across the breakfast table "babe do you think the current crop of "pop tarts" as she puts it will be around 50 years from now"? I looked across the table and said "probably but their music won't have the impact Janis had". She paved the way for them and they don't get it. When you only have a handful of song writers, auto tune and no talent to start with you get what we have now, crap! Be well and safe, peace to you and yours.
I’d crank it loud in my apartment in ocean beach San Diego ….. happy late mornings San Diego
@@roberttrujillo8128 I grew up in SD, Linda Vista in the 60's. I wrote my comment thinking back to those days of OB, MB, PB. Good times. Kearny Class of '69. We did have all the good music in that time.
Other kids in school were tucked in bed with Cinderella, Snow White... But Patti was different...(thank goodness) i was 8-9 yrs old Janice, the Doors, Ozzy, CCR, Beatles 24/7 thank you Patti
What an outstanding talent
Perfect. the only thing that is missing is the LSD.
As a stan i wanna say
THAT'S ROCK BOTTOM❤
I remember the day I first heard this Janis tune......
Remarkable!
This is amazing
Got to pay your dues if want to
sing the blues and you know it
don't come easy. We'll she paid
in full.
Janice Joplin , on a level of her
own and no one has ever come
close to eclipsing her .
The San Francisco sound courtesy
Big Brother and the holding Co.
with the severely distorted guitars
takes me back to the best of the
60's and 70's.
A magical time for music. A time when artist were more free to create for the luv of music. Not for riches and fame. Of course everyone was stoned out of their gourds lol. But still the best music.its beend Deckard and nothing even close.
Emotionally and how she sang that plucked your strings; (granted i didnt agree with some of her content) In my opinion maybe Amy but bad publicity overshadowed her talent. In turn people expected Janis to fail wich overshadowed Janis true talent.
This is a masterpiece…
I just love Janis Joplin's bluesy sultry style. She had a smoker's voice. The lyric's are poetic. I am a sucker for a good guitar solo. Don't you cry now.
Like many others I have loved the guitar solos here for years. After much wondering and searching, I found the source this morning. It's a fughetta, or Little Fugue, by JS Bach, BWV961. It's on UA-cam. Glenn Gould plays it beautifully. I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks
THANK YOU! I was sure that it was a piece by Bach because I had played it on the piano years ago but I couldn't find which one it was and the only references I found mentioned some other work and I spent literally hours looking for this!
Cheers for that!
Thanks ✌️
Hearing this today after all these years, the guitar solos were great! Thanks for the Bach reference - I was wondering.
Janis was the greatest white soul singer ever. EVER!
This whole record is badass... Found it for a buck at a thrift store :)
good find brother!
bobby smith Yes indeed thank you! It was a steal.
cd or vinyl?
Vinyl... The cover or record weren't quite mint but it sounds awesome... I'm pretty sure it's a really early copy.
sweet. :)
Janis at her absolute best
Hallelujah for souls like Janice Joplin ❤ I had the privilege of seeing her in person I. Sacramento CA at the age of 12 yrs old. They don't make em like they used to. Proud to be old school born in San Francisco in 1958. Yay!
I heard this in American Pop and holy shit I connect with this on so many levels. Reminds me of all of the huge things I regret doing in my life.
I wasn't born yet when she recorded this, but my mom played it often, i love it! ❤️🔥
ayo
this song is for all the happy people
all the happy people
who have real nice lives
and have no idea what it's like to be broke as fuck
CKUA Calgary, AB ( coolest radio station ever!!), asked what is your number one summer song...... This is it for me!!!!
Qué chingona canción!!
Summertime, time, time
Child, the living's easy
Fish are jumping out
And the cotton, Lord
Cotton's high, Lord so high
Your daddy's rich
And your ma is so good-looking, baby
She's a-looking good now
Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby now
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Don't you cry, don't you cry
One of these mornings
You're gonna rise, rise up singing
You're gonna spread your wings, child
And take, take to the sky
Lord, the sky
But until that morning
Honey, n-n-nothing's going to harm ya
No, no, no no, no no, no...
Don't you cry, cry.
I can remember when this album came out everybody was disappointed with it. Summertime was on it, but Janis live could sing this one for a long time with people begging her not to stop. Great San Francisco groups had to be seen live. Record companies was better than nothing, the real action was in the Park. An average crowd might be around 8,000- 12, 000. Thousands dancing, everybody very high. The whole scene without real problems. We had a young baby, but our 6-8 year old would disappear into the crowd. He might be gone most of the day. We would ask him where he went, he would say he found somebody to play with. A very different world in those days. He is a computer programmer in San Diego. Big Brother and the Holding Company was always a favorite. The fun part was that the great SF groups had only a short walk to the park, and back home. Great times for most of the crowd, but times were shorter for some. Certain people told Janis that she was wasting her time with Big Brother, but some us of knew better. She was very special as Big Brother and the Holding Company.

Born in texas.. just saying.
this and Live at Winterland.
That's funny, everyone I knew loved this album.
Live at Winterland is the best! even better than Cheap Thrills.
What do you mean y everyone was disappointed with the LP?
I am 44 years old now, so how am I just now hearing this?! Because radio sucks balls! I'm sure there are lots more I haven't heard yet, but this is fucking amazing!
Couldn’t agree more. I found this because of the Eminem sample and it’s absolutely brilliant!
Another song I found recently (after 36 years) and thinking, wtf haven’t heard this was Brian Eno & John Cale - Spinning Away
@@calmdowndearest8033 I love John Cale's "Paris 1919." Just a gorgeously written and arranged song.
@youcanttunafish I’m not familiar with much of John Cale’s work but Paris 1919 is a song I do know and love. The strings are great.
Whilst on the subject of songs entitled Paris…”2004 Paris” by Peter Bjorn and John is a nicely arranged song also.
@@calmdowndearest8033 I'm glad you're aware of Paris 1919. It is a gem, isn't it? And like you, I'm not that familiar with his work either (although I saw him at CBGB's long ago)! lol But thanks for the tip on the other "Paris" song. I'll look for it!
Blessed to have seen BBHC in 68. Mind melting.
When she says don't you cry, it makes me want to cry. Lol
I saw her sing this song at the Avalon Ballroom in 1966 it blew me away!
_This is FIRE!_ 🔥 🔥 🔥
She is special.
What a voice Janice had and you gotta love the arrangement . Superb version of this classic track.
Janis.
Shalom 🙏 Amen 😔🙏🕊️
Skipped school one day in 1967 (?); Wednesday mid day, Dick Cavett show comes on and unbeknownst to me one of his guests that particular day was Janis fuckin' Joplin! He tried interviewing her but she was kinda stoned and giggled a lot and kept looking off stage, and finally she gets up and walks over to where Big Brother was set up and waiting for her. So she goes and gets behind the mike and just stone-cold slams out this song and "Ball and Chain".
Far away my favorite track from big brother. Can’t believe this is no longer on radio.
People who know a lot more about music than me say she left Big Brother for better instrumentalists in Kosmic Blues and Full Tilt Boogie, both of which I love, but the rawness of Big Brother just seems to me to be the perfect compliment to her style which is very raw and visceral. In 55 years since I first began listening to Janis, there is still no one I would rather listen to.
They don't know what they are talking about. James Gurley and Sam Andrew are two of the most amazing guitarists I have ever heard. How many guitarists can get that kind of feeling? How many guitarists have gotten tones as amazing as James Gurley? How many guitarists have ever played melody as well as Sam Andrew? I love Janis Joplin. But 200 years from now they will laugh at you if you think Janis is the only genius on this record. 200 years from now they will be talking about James Gurley and Sam Andrew as legends and speaking in amazed tones at how we got the two of them and the great Janis Joplin, three incredible legends, on the same record. Kozmic Blues and especially Full Tilt Boogie are great bands, but there is no one there who can match Janis Joplin, and here there are two. Sam Andrew was in the Kozmic Blues band too, but his legendary playing is here in Big Brother when James Gurley was motivating him to his genius level. In terms of raw emotion, there is no one better. Even better that they play in very different, complimentary styles and have a fine bassist and drummer to back them up, a bassist and drummer with good strong feeling. Legends. In my mind these are legends, and like Bach, history will come around and discover James Gurley and Sam Andrew. And especially, as you say, in terms of pure, raw emotion. So much better than processed music. Real, raw emotion, staggering beauty and power, staggering, immense, raw, very real emotion. You can feel it. No one does it better.
To have heard those three and the entire group together live must have been incredible. Feeling that kind of emotion, expressed like that, live... wow. Wow!
@@davidannderson9796 If you say so
That ending .... Ol" girl put her soul into that. Wow Janis.
Damn! The guitar playing and vocals! I wish I was a DJ with the freedom to play tracks of my choosing in a county where weed is legal.
I already miss the summer, but the beauty of this interpretation is eternal! 💖
La bruja cósmica por siempre !!!
This is dedicated to all the happy people, that live real nice lives...
haunting, yet beautiful.
Brilliantly haunting
This was Janis Joplin at her best with her best band! These guys were spectacular blues musos
♡
I'll never not love this beautiful masterpiece
Summertime, time, time
Child, the living's easy
Fish are jumping out
And the cotton, Lord
Cotton's high, Lord, so high
Your daddy's rich
And your ma's so good-looking, baby
She's looking good now
Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
No, no, no, no, don't you cry
Don't you cry
One of these mornings
You're gonna rise, rise up singing
You're gonna spread your wings
Child, and take, take to the sky
Lord, the sky
But 'til that morning
Honey, n-n-nothing's going to harm you now
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Don't you cry
Oh, ooh
A few years back, after I was driving by myself for the first time, I changed up into third right when the guitar solo kicked in. Yep, that one, the one that sounds like a gearbox in distress.
Love her. Sad not enough thoughts of a legend. Thought of her while driving to Baton Rouge in the rain. My radio blasting.
Wow. Still gets to me to this day. So emotional. R.I.P Janis...
Classic San Fran sound
I was 12 years old the first Time i heard this, It really open something on my heart
Ah yeah, yo!
This song is dedicated to all the happy people
All the happy people who have real nice lives
And who have no idea whats it like to be broke as fuck
I don't know if this was recorded on 4 track or 8 track, but that's some great production on this album. The clarity, the tones, the levels all just superb and all analog not digital either!
By far the best female blues singer
My favorite version of the Gershwin masterpiece.
Janis is here she left us this piece of her and i am greatful this was not rock bottom, THIS was her letting us be with her on the journey. SHE shared her pain, her heart and put it all on the line, NEVER say she was rock bottom Her voice her message SPOKE for all of us. She gave till the end, Always for her fans and her art. and for us please remember her for the lady she was and always will be. i will be forever full of love and gratitude for this LADY!
Very well said 👍
GOOD LOOKING >>>>>>
I bought this album when it first came out. Must have listened to it hundreds of times. This still makes me misty eyes. There is something about this song that really touches deep inside.
I woke up one morning with this song playing in my head, as it was in my dream before I woke up. I sat up in bed, reached over and grabbed my fender and immediately worked out playing the solo. I had never learned this song before that.
I can remember Janis at the Avalon ball room in San Francisco Big brother and the holding company. Always made my night. There was one night Janis and big brother was playing. And Grace Slick and the Airplane showed . Battle of the Bands. Hey of a show. 2dollars and 50 cents a person. Never get those prices again. Never have a night like either
+Karl Hauck Forget about the money, she didn't care about, when she was boozing with Hunter Thompson in the Trident in Sausalito.
+Klau Da I agree never the money. But the music was great.as for the alcohol it will ya.Janis died to youth. at 65 years old. I still love to hear her.
wow, what a night you had.
yesterday would have been her 74th B-Day
Never again ,the Music ♡
tears are falling
I dalje se ježim od tog jedinstvenog glasa.Sada imam 69 godina i MORAO sam da album prepustim trgovcima jer me UBIJA....Voleo bih da je živa i nikad ne bih odustao...
RIP denton winslow crocker jr
4th june 1966 fallen in Vietnam..
God bless you
rip sister
My sister had the Cheap Thrills album, i never understood why she liked Janis until now. I enjoy her music. Great voice, love it❤😊
Excellent voice. Much better than many other famous black women who have sung blues. Peace in your soul dearest Janis, wherever you are.
Agree wholeheartedly my friend, but Janis was white!
This is one of the best...and most original versions of this song I've ever heard. And I've heard dozens X dozens....
Richard Marshall Bowman Cause it was Recorded in A Studio,, it's The combination of 2 perfect takes.
Anton Lamont It's more than that. I'm talkin' about the stylization. It's acid bluesy...makeup...is so different than the pop, soul & jazz versions. I've heard Ella, Miles , Sublime, Herbie Mann, Sam Cooke, Sinatra, Billy Stewart, Callas, Celine Dion, Kathleen Battle, "Sassy" (Sarah Vaughn), Buble', etc... Yet this one is perfection.
The ending of the song the way she sings is amazing, dont get me wrong the whole song is but especially the ending.
One of the best intro in the rock music , OH JANIS why do you leave this beautiful band
I agree. I think she was safe with Big Brother, not constrained. But obviously she thought, or the record guys convinced her, otherwise...
So long Sam Andrew RIP 15th February 2015.
What an incredible band these guys were!!!!!!!
There will only be one Janis. Nobody wants to recreate another voice like that. You can't without being compared to her. but they are out there. Live Long Janis Joplin 💜\m/
Those who are out there, speak now or forever hold your peace respectfully but please speak NOW!
