BOBBY MCGEE, PIECE OF MY HEART, I COULD GO ON AND ON SO HAPPY YOU FOUND HER! SO EXCITED TO WATCH YOU REACT COULDN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOUR EXPRESSION WAS THE MINUTE SHE OPENED HER MOUTH! I WAS WAITING FOR IT AND YOU GAVE THE BEST REACTION EVER! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL.Miss Dannie
Janis Joplin. The finest blues singer alongside the great Bessie Smith. Straight to the heart. Pull you in and make you hurt, like they do. I saw Janis Joplin with this band in San Francisco at Winterland. Janis always gave her all. She did for all of us. Fearless singer with all emotions exposed. RIP Janis Joplin.
This lady could sing! Sadly we lost her too soon. She was only 27 when she died. "Me & Bobby McGee" is one of my favorites by her but she had a lot of great songs such as "Piece Of My Heart", "Cry Baby", "Down On Me", "Little Girl Blue", "Ball & Chain", "Summertime", "Try (Just A Little Bit Harder)", "Get It While You Can", "Bye, Bye Baby", "Move Over" & her original song "Mercedes Benz".
@@Alundrahs - Actually, most of here care. We are here to share our love of great music, and talk about it with others who love it as we do. It feels great, @Alundrahs - you should try it! BTW - what is YOUR favorite song? I really would like to know.
Anything Janis sang became HER song. Debut at Monterey Festival, "Ball and Chain", unforgettable. Dead at 27, drugs and alcohol. She never knew how great she was or would become. Nickname was Pearl. And that's what she was, a hidden gem. Love your reactions, ADOGG. Hope you keep going for a long time!
Quite well said. Even "Big Mama" Thornton, who wrote "Ball & Chain", loved the way Janis interpreted the tune. I saw Etta James once, and even she gave Janis a wave of the wand and did a brilliant rendition of "Piece Of My Heart".
@@JimiBurleigh when you watch this live performance that launched her career, you'll recognise legendary Mama Cass in the audience. That's the woman whose jaws dropped. ❤️❤️
There are generational singers, there are once in a lifetime singers, and then there's miss Janis. Adogg, you just opened up Pandora's Box and there ain't no shutting it. Have fun on an endless rabbit hole journey that you have just begun my friend! 😃
Janis was a sensitive highly intelligent young woman from Texas who found acceptance with the hippies. Her brand of bitter lonely hurtin' woman blues was so authentic that it brought tears to your eyes. Your reaction was about right - who IS this woman?. "One Good Man" captures all of that. "Me and Bobby McGee" is perfection, a masterpiece. There was only one Janis and then they broke the mold. No one did it better and no one ever will
I completely agree. There hasn't been another one like her. And probably never will be. Sadly that's not popular music anymore. My generation, X, still listened to her. She's to amazing not to.
@@carrietatum835 You Xers got to experience real music before it devolved into death metal and degeneracy. What they listen to now isn't music, it's soulless digitized nothing. Sad
When you looked straight at the camera, I shook my head yes and said, "I know!" LOL!!!! The first time I heard this song, I was eight years old (1969). My mom was a jazz singer, and she had a trio that would play the lake region of upstate NY. One her musician friends left behind some blues albums and one of them was Janis Jopin's, "I Got Them Ol Kozmic Blues Again Mama." From then on, Janis Joplin would always be one of my favorite female singers of all time!!!!! I still have this album (he said I could keep it).
This is why I like to watch reactors! It was SO OBVIOUS when you realized that you were seeing something that you had never seen before, that you had never heard before, and you liked it and were impressed! This was cool! Well done young man! (said the 72 year old dude that watched her growth in the late 60s')
She is a legend from back in the day who can belt out a song like no one else. Soulful as can be. Many hit song. Try Piece Of My Heart, Summertime, and so many more. Another great talent lost to drugs. The 60’s had some of the greatest music of all time imo.
@@ardentynekent2099 that’s easy. I’m 73 so anyone can pick they’re back in the day based on music, patriotism, respect, clothing styles etc. I served in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. I love my country. How many young people can say that?
Congratulations!! You now have been introduced to the BEST female singer of MY GENERATION!! So sad when we lost her 😭 Imagine what she could have done...terrible loss for sure. Piece of My Heart, Ball & Chain from Monterey pop festival, Summer Time, Try (just alittle bit harder), Mercedes Benz....ANY SONG by Janis will make you feel it in your soul!!! Love love love your reaction. KEEP LISTENING to Janis and you'll want to hear all she left us. TRUELY ONE OF A KIND. #1. RIP ❤🔥🤯✌🏽🎶🎵🎶🎤👍🏼‼️
You face said it all!! I have listened to Janis for years now. And I love to see people faces the first time they hear her voice. So much soul and passion and just raw power behind it!!! Ball and chain, cry baby, any of her songs. You will "not" be disappointed
The was THE female vocalist of the late 60's and 70's. I thought the entire world had heard of her. A huge star in her time. She helped make blues accessible to the world. Too sad that so many young people have not heard of her. People still talk about her music almost 50 years later. Check out "Ball and Chain" at Woodstock.
Great to see the appreciation you have seen in her voice. I forget at times that not everyone doesn't know who Janis Joplin is, yes definitely react to more of Janis. "A little piece of my heart" will certainly send you down the Janis Joplin rabbit hole. Thank you for the video :)
Oh my goodness, I so loved your reaction to Janis Joplin. I am an oldie but goody myself, and she was and still is one of my favorites from back in the day. Oh the memories are flooding back of San Francisco in the 60's. You will not hear a song you don't like coming out of your her!
Great reaction! I was fortunate enough to be at Janis' last concert before she passed. Due to the bands gear being stolen that day, she sang the first two songs without a mic and sound system while the concert organizers were locating and setting up new gear for the band. We were in a football stadium and had no problem hearing her amazingly powerful voice clear as a bell. Janis never lived long enough to reach any where near her full potential.
When that girl sang she emptied the tank! Put it all out there on stage, left nothing back! She was a "SINGULAR" artist/performer. Ain't been NOBODY even close to her since!
For another side of Janis, listen her do "Little Girl Blue" I LOVE Janis, and it might be my favorite one of hers, she once said it was one of her favorites too of all the songs she ever did.
Diana Krall does a wonderful version of Little Girl Blue, Joplins version (Tom Jones TV show) takes a few liberties with the lyrics, but is very impressive. Trivia-The original song is 1935, written for Judy Garland for the movie Jumbo.
I love Janis! I hope you can see this reaction from heaven darlin'. Pure amazement at your vocal. Such a big, booming sound not often found in modern day singers. What a legend! No amplification needed.
"Did y'all hear how she started the song out?" Lol, Janis had one speed... full throttle! We lost her too soon. I'm glad people are still discovering how gifted she was.
I got to see her in concert in San Diego (yes, I'm old). She had a very short career but a little of her is worth a LOT of anyone else! She was a force of nature!
Every time I hear her, I cry. I can't help it. She touches my soul. Janice was great and we lost her way too soon. She let her pain out through her sound but she never ran out of pain. I was just a teenager when she died. Her and Jimi Hendrix what were two of my favorites and I lost them both.bet they left behind something that I will always be able to hold on to. Their precious music. Great show and you were going to have an amazing journey into Janis joplin.
I second “Ball and Chain” live at Monterrey (Mama Cass of The Mamas and the Papas pan to in audience is so cool. Of course, “Cry Baby”, “Take Another Little piece of my heart” and others suggested, I also second. While she died before i was born, my mama was a huge fan so I grew up in her music. Go down that rabbit hole ADOGG!!🙏
Down on Me is good. But as I can see from your expression on this reaction - as you are with all your reactions - you get it! If she sang Happy Birthday it would have come from her soul and it would knock us all over!
Best song of hers is "My Baby" from the Pearl album. She sang for Climax Blues Band and Big Brother and the Holding Company. Awesome talent with a voice as big as her home state, Texas.
FIRST TIME?! OMG. My 1st time was 196sumthin. Gut wrenching. Little girl but great big voice n a whole lotta soul. You might try "Ball and Chain" and "Summer time" for sure. She was one of those once in a lifetime performers and unfortunately, a member of the 27 club. That gal cud belt out the blues like nobody's business !! RIP dear Janis. Peace.
I love your reaction. I’m 70 now and she was rising when I was in my 20’s. I learned she came from a religious family, her dad was a pastor, and she rebelled. Spent a lot of time in the Bay Area. She did so many other great songs. Hope you continue to appreciate her heart.
You have to watch her singing Ball and Chain at the Monterey festival back in 67 she was so good the first time the cameras were not running she was asked to come back the following day so they could get it on film and it's one of her best performance ever as that show put her on everyone's radar as a voice of not just one generation but several generations as no one comes close to her in voice or delivery of a song
This is my first time seeing anyone who never heard of Janis Joplin hearing her sing for the first time. It was PRICELESS. She really was an incomparable singer. We lost a treasure when we lost Janis. I got chills watching you react. I'd forgotten how I felt the first time I heard her sing when I was a teenager. Glad you finally got to experience this too.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Janis Joplin my friend! The uniqueness of her voice and her raw power captivated audiences back in the day. We were introduced to her talent when she released "Piece of My Heart", her first single. Check out the audio version of this song, I'm sure you will love it. Peace.
No computer enhancements,no auto tune. Pure raw blues. You have just been blessed with the best blues singer of my generation. Congratulations. You will never be the same.
Great reaction to a one of kind! Janis Joplin is as real as it gets. Ball and Chain live at Monterey Pop Festival is amazing, and Work Me Lord Live in Stockholm 1969 will just blow you away! Good luck!
I saw her in 1968 in an old warehouse with Big Brother and the Holding Company. I stood just a few feet in front of her. I still remember vividly what she sang like and how she felt every word with gut wrenching emotion. Great memories!
You just stumbled upon one of the great talents of the 20th century. Do 'Ball and Chain' but the live version from the Monterrey Pop Festival and do her cover of 'Summertime'. It's fantastic from end to end.
The first and only time I saw Janis live was in 1968-69. She is still my favorite by far. It was at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco. I will never forget that performance or her. It still sends shivers down my spine!
I am glad to see that you were blown away by her. This is the very first song I ever heard by her when I bought her Pearl album on vinyl and as soon as I heard her sing that first line "maybe" chills went down my spine and they still do. She could sing soul, blues, rock.... Janis felt everything she sang. She was a phenomenal entertainer/vocalist and was too soon.
Janis Joplin was the real deal. I'm 71 now and my big brother (10 yrs older) let me hang out while he listened to records: Ray Charles, Every Brothers, Elvis, I always was blown away be , " feel it to the max songs! Goosebumps: what a gift. Janis sang with such feeling, it's so sad she died too young.
So Great to see young generation discover this wonderful woman singer..she only had 4 albums and only the last 2 were hers alone. And the last 1 was released after she died. Her light didn't shine very long, but man, it sure left a comet flare. Died 54 years ago...and still NoBody compares... ❤ Rip jj
Janis had a hard life. Every bit of the pain and heartache you hear in her voice is real, from her own lived experience. She was unlucky in love, leaned hard on the bottle, and made a habit of ripping her heart open every night onstage. She's one of the greatest blues/rock singers ever. Here's one of her best performances: Summertime / Ball and Chain from the Frankfurt Festival. Amazing performance, less frantic than others on YT. ua-cam.com/video/reAZI4cjo3w/v-deo.html (This was from broadcast TV in Germany, and there's a bit of interview footage spliced into the middle of it.) Do check it out, it's a milestone of rock, in my opinion.
Just a footnote: This song "MAYBE" was originally a hit song from 1958, by The Chantels. Lead singer on that, the fabulous Arlene Smith. Then it was a hit for The Three Degrees, in 1970 - Valerie Holiday taking the lead; another amazing voice. They're both here on YT, ofc. Janis took hold of it, poured her heart and soul into it, and made it her own. I love _all three_ versions. Great song! 🙂
She is one of the few famous people I ever have seen live. In 1967 at Eagles Auditorium in Seattle, up close on a chest high stage and with Big Brother and the Holding Company. Somehow, life was too much for her and she OD'd. Our great loss. I'm thankful for visual and audio recording so young people like yourself can experience the artistry of Janice and others that we lost too soon.
Heard her several times when she started. During a break she'd hang with the crowd. Spent one whole break with her sitting on the floor with our backs against the wall sharing a bottle. I was in Vietnam when she died and it about broke my heart. The blues were her thing and she put every bit of herself into her music.
I LOVE THAT SOME OF YOU YOUNGER PEOPLE ARE DISCOVERING FOR THE FIRST TIME SO MANY OF THE GREAT HITS AND ARTISTS OF MY GENERATION!! I GREW UP IN THE '60's AND 70's!!! WHAT A TIME THAT WAS TO BE YOUNG, PRETTY CAREFREE AND STILL WITH SO MUCH MORE INNOCENCE THAN WHAT KIDS HAVE TOTALLY LOST TODAY! I LOVED GROWING UP BACK THEN! AND I DO BELIEVE THAT ALL OUR MUSIC OF THAT ERA, WAS THE EPITOME OF MUSICAL EXPERIMENT AND CREATIVITY!!!! TO ME, NO OTHER DECADE COMES CLOSE TO MY GENERATION'S MUSIC..THE MUSIC OF THE 60's AND 70's! GLAD IT IS BEING APPRECIATED ALL OVER AGAIN! I LOVE THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE AS YOU LISTENED TO THIS!

How about Otis Redding….he was no slouch …incredible
She was well known in Southeast Texas and Louisiana long before the Monterey Pop festival.
My aunt took me to the Monterey Festival and I’m so happy to have been able to see Janis, Hendrix, and all of them.
"Take A Little Piece of My heart" will definitely knock your socks off!!!!! She was one of a kind!!
The real deal. She sang from the heart, from the soul, from the gut, from the bone. She left everything on stage. ❤️
raw and pure, no make up no hair style, hippie dress, some rings and armchains. Everything she sings came from inside, she didnT need great outfits!
There are generational singers, there are once in a lifetime singers, and then there's miss Janis. Adogg, you just opened up Pandora's Box and there ain't no shutting it. Have fun on an endless rabbit hole journey that you have just begun my friend! 😃
She is a legend that left this world to soon. I enjoy a female singer with the raspy voice.
So sorry they sold their souls to the club 27 yes Jimmie Hendrix also

Amazing to think Janis Joplin is new to anyone.
She was popular over 50 years ago.... the young people don't have a clue who she was
I was lucky enough to see her twice. She was a volcano on stage. Loved her then, and still do. Thank you for the good memories. ✌️
I envy you. I had a ride to that 1967 Monterey Pop Festival but my mom wouldn't let me go because I was 14 years old, imagine that. Lol!
Ha ha, we loved her all her life. She was one of the most amazing singers ever! I’m so glad you found her. I heard her sing when she first started.
You've discovered the great Janis Joplin! 👍 Probably her most famous song is "Piece of my Heart" but you could pick any Janis song & be highly amazed!
Piece of my heart, Summertime, Janis was something! I have been waiting on some of yall to do a Joplin video!! Thank you
She didnt just sing. Her voice was a powerful instrument. blasting out the best blues to be heard.
Janis Joplin "Work Me, Lord" is incredible
"Little Girl Blue" is also amazing
I was lucky enough to enjoy her when I was a teenager! Loved her! Too sad she was so troubled and we lost her too soon.
Great to see the appreciation you have seen in her voice. I forget at times that not everyone doesn't know who Janis Joplin is, yes definitely react to more of Janis. "A little piece of my heart" will certainly send you down the Janis Joplin rabbit hole. Thank you for the video :)
Oh yeeeessss! JANIS! "Cry, Baby", "Ball and Chain", "Little Girl Blue", and "Piece of My Heart" are my favorites!!!!
A German newspaper once said about Janis: "She didn't sing the blues, she lived it".
Her vocals in Little girl blue will tear your heart apart...what a blessing she was.
“Ball and Chain”, Monterey Festival. Her mainstream debut.❤️
The original 60s hippie chick! The was born to sing the blues her way- from the soul. Another gifted performer gone to addiction.
Oh my goodness, I so loved your reaction to Janis Joplin. I am an oldie but goody myself, and she was and still is one of my favorites from back in the day. Oh the memories are flooding back of San Francisco in the 60's. You will not hear a song you don't like coming out of your her!

So true
One of my super favs, such a raw soulful sound, Love Janis...R.I.P. Janis, a legend, an icon, an amazing woman. Thanx A, Peace
When that girl sang she emptied the tank! Put it all out there on stage, left nothing back! She was a "SINGULAR" artist/performer. Ain't been NOBODY even close to her since!
Legend! I've always loved her song "Summertime"
“To Love Somebody” Live - Janis Joplin
For another side of Janis, listen her do "Little Girl Blue" I LOVE Janis, and it might be my favorite one of hers, she once said it was one of her favorites too of all the songs she ever did.
Cold chills !! Please do Me and Bobby McGee please and thank you 😊
Diana Krall does a wonderful version of Little Girl Blue, Joplins version (Tom Jones TV show) takes a few liberties with the lyrics, but is very impressive. Trivia-The original song is 1935, written for Judy Garland for the movie Jumbo.
@@timjester8555 Thanks for the Krall one, I don't think I've heard it. Nina Simone does a good version too
I love Janis! I hope you can see this reaction from heaven darlin'. Pure amazement at your vocal. Such a big, booming sound not often found in modern day singers. What a legend! No amplification needed.
Piece of my heart
Piece of my Heart is your next 'go to' without question! Janis will never disappoint you.
There was no one like Janis. Check out Ball and Chain live from Monterey Pop. She was fresh and gritty. ✌️
Mama Cass Elliot, herself being a 60's legend, is shown in the audience in total awe upon seeing/hearing Janis for the first time.
In my opinion she’s the most Soulful singer in HISTORY!!!
She put her heart and soul into her singing....amazing
"Did y'all hear how she started the song out?" Lol, Janis had one speed... full throttle! We lost her too soon. I'm glad people are still discovering how gifted she was.
"A Woman Left Lonely" by Janis Joplin is a masterpiece.
Ohhhh, I know!!!!! That song's a beauty!!!!!!!!! Off the Bobby McGee album.
YES!
Just reading the song title and hearing it in my mind brings tears to my eyes. Burned so bright, died so young…
Ditto
Yesss
The Queen..a Legend. Listen to her live as much as possible
I got to see her in concert in San Diego (yes, I'm old). She had a very short career but a little of her is worth a LOT of anyone else! She was a force of nature!

'Take Another Little Piece of My Heart' is a great song by Janis, among many. She was really a one of a kind artist. She died too young.
You really , need to hear the live versions of Summer Time and Ball and Chain. Amazing.
I listen to her daily, her songs, her voice, I get chills and tears. THE QUEEN OF THE BLUES 🎶
You have to check out “raise your hand” with Tom Jones on his show. It’s so amazing and gets ur heart a pumping!!!
This lady paved the road for female vocalist not just blues but all music. She is the Queen of vocalist.
Listen to “Me and Bobby McGee”...❤️🎶
Thank you for reacting to this song! Janis Joplin is and was the best female vocalist. She’s a legend and an icon.❤
I saw her in 1968 in an old warehouse with Big Brother and the Holding Company. I stood just a few feet in front of her. I still remember vividly what she sang like and how she felt every word with gut wrenching emotion. Great memories!
Yes! Loved listening to her during high school years!! She is a legend!!
You just stumbled upon one of the great talents of the 20th century. Do 'Ball and Chain' but the live version from the Monterrey Pop Festival and do her cover of 'Summertime'. It's fantastic from end to end.
The first and only time I saw Janis live was in 1968-69. She is still my favorite by far. It was at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco. I will never forget that performance or her. It still sends shivers down my spine!
She is my all time favorite female vocalist since the 60's. Still love listening to her. 🔥❤
She was great!
She put everything into every song, every time.
Thank you for this & keeping her music alive…. I watch your reactions & like all the time, but rarely comment. Just thank you.
I am glad to see that you were blown away by her. This is the very first song I ever heard by her when I bought her Pearl album on vinyl and as soon as I heard her sing that first line "maybe" chills went down my spine and they still do.
She could sing soul, blues, rock.... Janis felt everything she sang. She was a phenomenal entertainer/vocalist and was too soon.
Janis Joplin was the real deal. I'm 71 now and my big brother (10 yrs older) let me hang out while he listened to records: Ray Charles, Every Brothers, Elvis, I always was blown away be , " feel it to the max songs! Goosebumps: what a gift. Janis sang with such feeling, it's so sad she died too young.
I feel so honored to have grown up with Janis, Jim and Jimmy. 68 years strong with Janis Joplin, thank you 🙏❤️♥️🥰
She was the best blues singer ever!
So Great to see young generation discover this wonderful woman singer..she only had 4 albums and only the last 2 were hers alone. And the last 1 was released after she died. Her light didn't shine very long, but man, it sure left a comet flare. Died 54 years ago...and still NoBody compares... ❤ Rip jj
Janis had a hard life. Every bit of the pain and heartache you hear in her voice is real, from her own lived experience. She was unlucky in love, leaned hard on the bottle, and made a habit of ripping her heart open every night onstage. She's one of the greatest blues/rock singers ever. Here's one of her best performances: Summertime / Ball and Chain from the Frankfurt Festival. Amazing performance, less frantic than others on YT. ua-cam.com/video/reAZI4cjo3w/v-deo.html (This was from broadcast TV in Germany, and there's a bit of interview footage spliced into the middle of it.) Do check it out, it's a milestone of rock, in my opinion.
BEST FEMALE VOCALIST TO EVER WALK THE EARTH.
So much fun to watch your reaction to music from my generation! She had an incredibly unique voice. I’m sure you’ll love her other songs, as well.
You're on fire today, love your reactions. Janis Joplin 60's 70's icon. Many other great performances to listen to. RIP.
Just a footnote: This song "MAYBE" was originally a hit song from 1958, by The Chantels. Lead singer on that, the fabulous Arlene Smith. Then it was a hit for The Three Degrees, in 1970 - Valerie Holiday taking the lead; another amazing voice. They're both here on YT, ofc. Janis took hold of it, poured her heart and soul into it, and made it her own. I love _all three_ versions. Great song! 🙂
Love seeing you guys face when you hear the kind of music and musicians that sing them. Thats what you call real soul music.
She is one of the few famous people I ever have seen live. In 1967 at Eagles Auditorium in Seattle, up close on a chest high stage and with Big Brother and the Holding Company. Somehow, life was too much for her and she OD'd. Our great loss. I'm thankful for visual and audio recording so young people like yourself can experience the artistry of Janice and others that we lost too soon.
She’s a legend in her time. One of a kind for sure. I had the honor and pleasure to see her in concert. No one like her in her time or now.
Heard her several times when she started. During a break she'd hang with the crowd. Spent one whole break with her sitting on the floor with our backs against the wall sharing a bottle. I was in Vietnam when she died and it about broke my heart. The blues were her thing and she put every bit of herself into her music.
This has and still is one of my all time favorites and I saw her sing this live and she cried out every word and she died six months later sad.
I LOVE THAT SOME OF YOU YOUNGER PEOPLE ARE DISCOVERING FOR THE FIRST TIME SO MANY OF THE GREAT HITS AND ARTISTS OF MY GENERATION!! I GREW UP IN THE '60's AND 70's!!!
WHAT A TIME THAT WAS TO BE YOUNG, PRETTY CAREFREE AND STILL
WITH SO MUCH MORE INNOCENCE THAN WHAT KIDS HAVE TOTALLY LOST TODAY!
I LOVED GROWING UP BACK THEN!
AND I DO BELIEVE THAT ALL OUR MUSIC OF THAT ERA, WAS THE EPITOME OF MUSICAL EXPERIMENT AND CREATIVITY!!!!
TO ME, NO OTHER DECADE COMES CLOSE TO MY GENERATION'S MUSIC..THE MUSIC OF THE 60's AND 70's!
GLAD IT IS BEING APPRECIATED ALL OVER AGAIN!
I LOVE THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE AS YOU LISTENED TO THIS!
