      The record companies of the era were obsessed with 'Star power'. The suits could not get their heads around putting more than one performer per category out front. Arethas fame was not just bought at the expense of her sisters, but to other artists like Etta James who saw their publicity dropped and contracts lapsed, so the ad men and promotion money could be focused on a single Property.

      I think your assessment is spot on. I was always a fan of Janis and didn't know this jewel existed until 4 years ago. Both versions are absolutely beautiful!! This one, delivery is soulful sultry and, the other just damn right bluesy and sweaty.. I love them both.

      The Franklin family all sang together in their father's church (The New Bethel Baptist Church of civil rights fame), where gospel singers Ruth Brown, and Mahalia Jackson sang. When you have a mentor like that, it's hard not to be great.

    I actually discovered this from a New York Times crossword puzzle clue..."Franklin who sang "Piece of My Heart." The answer was "Erma." I was only familiar with the Janis Joplin version. I had to look it up and I'm glad I did. Thank you for posting, and thanks to Byron Walden (creator of the crossword) for allowing me to discover this. I of course had heard of Aretha (had her very first album and some CDs).
    I was delight to find this.
    Thanks again!
