    This is the best version of Summertime ever.
    She sings from the heart and her soul.
    She is my favorit since I heard her in the 60:s.
    I am 72 now and I listen to her and I will always do. 🥰

      @Theeaundra That's a huge misunderstanding of Janis. She cared very much what others thought. She felt like a freak show in her small town of Port Arthur, Tx. She used music to express her angst in life, and eventually drank and drugged herself to a far too young death.
      Celebrate her life-force, but don't deny the hell from which it sprang.

    This video brings back my favorite memory with Janis from March, 1969 at Winterland in SF. JJ was hitting her cow bell so hard on a fast instrumental break that she broke her drumstick. I was in my usual position, right in front of her at the front of the stage, and I had my tambourine with me so I offered it to her. She took it, played it and handed it back when the song was over. Then Sam’s terrific guitar intro to Summertime started and Janis looked right at me and started singing it to me! My best friend, Lucy, was all: Shelly! She’s singing to you! I was like: I know, shut up, don’t interrupt! She kept looking at me and singing for the entirety of the song. I was stoked! So lucky to have seen Janis live so many times! Later I carved: JJ 3-22-69 on the inside of the tambourine. Sadly, a burglar made off with it years later, but our moment remains in my memory and I still melt every time I hear Summertime.

      I had a similar, not exactly the same, experience with her. She picked me out of the crowd, stepped off the stage (the venue used a portable 4 inch high stage) and walked up to me. I was just 14 years old and I was scared because hey, it was Janis Joplin!!! I didn’t have much Street Smarts at the time. She recognized my stress, gave me this little Head-Bob and backed away! Janis Joplin had a very tender side that I think wasn’t appropriated! That night, I sure did.!!!

    In the 80's, when I was a university student, there was a music video jukebox in the club. I didn't know Janis Joplin. I liked George Gershwin's music, so I casually requested "summertime". It was this music video that was played at that time. The inside of the club that had been noisy until then became quiet. I cried at the voice of Janis Joplin, which I heard for the first time, and became absent-minded.

    Summertime, time, time,

    And the cotton, Lord,
    Cotton's high, Lord, so high.
    Your daddy's rich
    And your ma is 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 until 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

    Don't you cry,

      @@HeyJuuude-05 A group that does a lot of covers - excellently - are two sisters from the South, Larkin Poe. Another excellent, current, blues singer is Keb' Mo.' If you listen to them, you can get a strong start listening to blues songs.
      Also, certain other '60's bands - besides Janis and her bands - like the Allman Brothers, and the Stones (Keith Richards and Mick Jagger), covered older blues songs.
      And then there are the originals, like Robert Johnson, and many other phenomenal musicians.
      Another way to go at it is to stick with a blues song you like, and follow who covered it, starting from the early 20th century. Many original great blues singers did "Summertime."
      Another song was "House of the Rising Sun."
      "Midnight Rambler" (The Allman Brothers are linked with this one, but's much older.)
      "Back Door Man" (The Doors covered this in the '60's, but it goes much further back than that.)

First she played the George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess version of this and I just cringed; literally covered my face with my hands and prayed for it to end. And then she played Janis... and I cried...and when she saw that I was crying, she cried too... I'll never forget Mrs. Welsh for that moment of discovery. It was the first time I clearly remember understanding music as art.

      As a young teenager in Texas, Janis (a misfit in her conformist white peer culture), followed her own singing muse, patterned her own singing style from old recordings of her idol whom she regarded as her soul sister elder mentor, black blues great Billie Holliday.

    it would be trivial to describe what you were, and what you make us feel even now that you're gone!! it is not possible to describe with sufficiently suitable words what we still feel today to listen to your music !!!

    The first time I heard this song I was asleep in Austin Texas and someone's clock radio went off and this was playing. It was still dark out, a warm night with the window open and a warm breeze blowing in. I didn't know if this was even real... In fact, I'm still not sure.

    My first concert was Janis 1970. I got to meet her, she hugged and kissed my cheek and told me I was "cool.' I still have her autograph she gave me that day. I can still see her in my mind, she looked so happy.

    When music came from the soul, drugs and mind expansions not a laptop… unfortunately 50 years from now talent and greatness of certain eras will vanish, so keep passing and explaining g this to your kids, try to explain to them the correlation between a certain lifestyle and creating magic through music, sensations, try to preserve this by getting g your kids ears know the difference between how great things were and the trash we have to adjust to these days… am talking especially to the generation in their forties and fifties now who witnessed or at least grew up to these legends understanding where the music came from

I was sooooo hooked on Joplin and I turned on a bunch of people to her even though she was already long dead. She was out of this world. If I ever get three wishes, 1st one....see Janis Live

    Damn, that girl's voice was an orchestra. Not content to sing one note at a time, she sang several, and our souls stood still and attended. She lived too deeply and burned up because of it and left us the glad recipients of all her tears and joys. Just magical and never forgotten.

    Happy Birthday Janis ... (born January 19, 1943 in Port Arthur, Texas and died October 4, 1970 in Los Angeles) is an American singer. Nicknamed the "Cosmic Mama" or "Pearl", she first distinguished herself in the late 1960s as a singer for the psychedelic acid rock group Big Brother and the Holding Company and, later, as solo artist with his support groups, The Kozmic Blues Band and The Full Tilt Boogie Band.
