John Fisher was my father. I first saw this interview where Janis mentions our limo service after he passed away in 2009. He had so many stories about Janis when she would come to NYC. He travelled with her to Texas for her high school reunion. My grandmother lived alone in the Bronx and was a feminist before there were feminists. She and Janis hit it off and she would often stay with her instead of dealing with the business of the Chelsea Hotel. My parents had Love Limo for the rock bands and Cabaret Limo for actors and politicians. So cool to me until this day.
I think so too. She was vulnerable, sweet but also observant and very switched on. What a talent. Such a pity she died so young. I feel she had a lot more to give. ☘
@@MrBreeze66 unfortunately, they seem to go hand in hand. We experienced 10-15 yrs of it w our older daughter. A hellish nightmare I would NOT wish on any parent. Thank God she survived it and is doing well now, has gotten her life back on track, altho she does have some mental health issues. It took going to jail to straighten her out, but they say for heroin users, it's either prison or death. I still cry when I think of how badly she got into using drugs and I pray for her continued sobriety every day.
I'm rewatching this clip, and I just love how gentle Dick Cavett was with her. She was very spontaneous and real, laughing loudly out of nowhere, etc, and he didn't deride her or try to make her look foolish. You can see that she trusted him. It seems like they were respectful and understanding of each other's personal issues. Just good friends who "got" each other, having a natural, quiet conversation, which you don't really see on today's talk shows. Love this!
Dick Cavett suffered greatly from manic depression. What you see in this interview is him disguising his pain really well. Janis knew and understood this. That is why they were comfortable with each other.
@James Vickers I discovered the show because of George Harrison and he is a gentleman, sensitive, and smart, I wish these LATE NIGHT shows were more like this, interesting adult conversations,
heroine makes people feel like they are in Bora-Bora. i love her soulful voice. something about her , she gives me the vibe of a racist white girl that would have gotten her ass whupped . can't shake that feeling.
She wasn’t just the first hippie, she was the very spirit of that culture and she carried it and sent it sailing after she passed. She was so unique and gave birth to a generation
She refused to wear makeup, so, what looks maybe like a pretty plain girl is mostly just what your average girl looks like with no eye liner rouge or anything else artificial for enhancement. She was a rebel that way.
Yup, what you say is true. Once I saw this 19 yr. old before and after makeup. She went from a 5 to a 9, I kid you not. Blew my mind. Men are so easily blinded, hehe
I agree... She was not conventionally pretty, but I think her personality made her so sexy. I don't care for boring Barbie Dolls with lip gloss and parrot nails.
@@jacocharzukanamericanautho2422 Feeling unloved and not cared for will age you. Even young children who are not cared for look old and tired. It's what a broken heart looks like.
@Sheist MCE what? Most overrated singer of all time .. she has literally 0 good songs of her own. Janis Joplin was a cover singer that sang every cover worse without any doubt and just had the catchiest name in overdose history. You like saying her name, you don't sing any of her songs alone in your house.
She really wasnt that good people need to stop treating celebs like treasure and gods they just humans that love the attention and money and yall fall right into it if she was such a treasure people woulda stopped her from doing drugs
@@lnmatters-ncsmusicproducer1673 "It's not the drugs, it's the overuse of drugs". What a stupid comment. No one intends to OD, but play with fire long enough and you get burnt. There is nothing mysterious about the 27 club. People living dangerous lifestyles die sooner. It's only a thing because Hendrix, Joplin, and Morrison all died at 27 around the same time. All had chemical dependencies. It's coincidence. Kurt blew his head off while Janis OD'ed. How are they related? O, they both had heroin in them at the time. But, remember, heroin doesn't kill people.
Theres so many pauses and cringe dialogue, but I realized that that was just natural. Nothing's over scripted so it's actually just two people talking.
Yes. This was how dick cavett ran the show.. today no one talks on Jimmy Fallon, Kimmel, they all play games. You don't really get to know anyone. Except for maybe Graham Norton show which is pretty good
Riley Newton it’s unnatural because she is obviously strung out on drugs, that uncomfortable feeling people get when they watch this is our bodies warning us to stay away from someone like this
Shay Gordon she actually was clean from April until the day she died from the Research I’ve done. At this time she was so happy and proud that she was clean.
My favorite lyrics was in the ME and Bobby Mcgee..."I'd trade all my TOMMORROWS for single yesterday.." The 27 club always so interesting to me. Why did it happen..we all will never truly know. I see in a few years ull be 27. I hope it's a great year for u. Janis was the singer who burned out instead fading away slowly. Which Neil Young made famous. But she did live that way.Along with other greats. Anyhow it's great to see the younger generation remember the greats that changed the future in so many ways.
Talent is like a hot flame. It burns hot and consumes the host but it leaves a glow that seems to last forever. 50 years later we all still see the light
She was really adorable in many ways! Not only talented. She was so "natural" and simply had a good heart! What a loss - like so many others long gone. RIP Janis.
@Flow Baby She obviously doesn't mean hundreds of years ago. Stop reading into everything and getting offended over someone saying that the 60s/70s was a long time ago. What a weird thing to get upset over.

I could listen to her talk all day. Dick Cavett was such a great host, he truly cared about his guests. This is like they just sat down and started talking about anything that came to mind. so candid. She was so genuine.
Janis just was being herself. She never thought of herself as a star. She just wanted to be a singer. Little did she know she would be on a USPS stamp as a legend!
She was like many of us,struggling to find peace of mind and our place in the world. I heard she got bullied at school, probably because she had personality, and answered back and thought for herself.
Sixties school was rigid. Girls had to wear dresses. No dress, go home. Think a little different and 😱. It wasn’t til after she died that the Supreme Court ruled girls could wear pants. It was so controversial that it was announced over the PA system during school. Janis wearing pants on the Dick Cavett show was probably banned on family time on tv, 7-10pm.
No one is the way they are portrayed in the press. The job of the media is to “shape and mold public opinion and behavior, both foreign and domestic“. And for TV watchers, they seem to do a pretty good job of shaping and molding them. It’s pretty scary how malleable people have become. Just one look at how people speak, dress, design their homes, and exchange their grass for rocks as if that were somehow environmental proves they how mindless they’ve become. Personally, I don’t “tune in” to be “programmed” every day, haven’t watch the news since 2007, and cut out TV and Hollywood movies, so I still have my own mind.
@@nelsonsiebold8447 You couldn't harm me if you tried anyway, but okay. I live in Tucson, but am in California visiting relatives now. You do realize I'm a heterosexual male of the species, right? Your turn.
I come back to this video every few weeks. Janis was genuinely a great person. She was so down to earth and had such a lovable personality. You can hear it in her voice how sweet she was. She had such a unique aura about her. Such an inspiration!!
It’s really Amazing how some of the BEST unheard of interviews featuring the most important and popular personalities of the day WERE on the “DC” show! In my humble opinion, Mr Cavett was Underrated, and Overlooked in his day, but certainly ahead of his time.
@LorenzoDionLee. Dick Cavett was a staff writer on The Tonight Show writing comedy for Steve Allen,Jack Parr, and Carson.Rating$ matter ; his brand appealed to an exclusive demographic of better educated and cultured and ironically with more MONEY to spend as consumers that the other networks AD-dollar$ target. His programs were on PBS later and consequently thrived as a preferred choice for more refined content. Mr. Cavett's scholarly,articulate,sharp, and smart dignified conduct,with guests ranging the cultural spectrum of interesting,intriguing personalities apparently was misconstrued by Ad-Men as not having MA$$ APPEAL;not a worthy adverti$ising ri$k. He didn't cut it with the dumbheads, SO he was cut out of the ABCcbsNBC mix of bland programming way back in his day.
I totally agree with you... I watched and really enjoyed Orson Welles on Mr Cavetts show again recently. Great insight into a lot of the back stabbing in Hollywood. Totally agree Dick Cavett was underated. He had a marvellous gift of making his guest relax which brought out the best in people
I thought she did find love with Jimmy Hendrix. I could be wrong of course. Yes another Legend... There are so many... Jim Morrison etc ... My personal favourite is Rodriguez. He is still with us today. It’s these souls who have inspired many...
Just 27 years old Janis Joplin was a true genius and a pioneer, Just imagine how far she would"ve went had she lived longer. Rest in Paradise Queen.....
Just imagine how she might have continued singing if she had stayed clear of cigarettes, alcohol and heroin. Black and white, spell it out. Her singing voice was also damaged in the process.
@@stompthedragon4010 I love everything about her accept 2 things, her addiction and that she left us too soon. This may sound weird coming from a 11 year old kid but its absolutely true.
@@lillyhartman4318 Doesn' t sound weird at all. I had the album Pearl when I was 9 or 10. When I was 11 I beggged my parents to let me go to Woodstock. They said, " NO." Imagine that🤣
I will never understand her appeal. She seems like a dumb drunk with a mediocre voice that would’ve failed her in the coming years with her lifestyle. She’s not charming, she was just a counterculture icon. I’m convinced that if she didn’t die young, she would’ve been an obscurity within a few years....in honesty, she’s more talented than I am, but almost all of her hits were covers. Her draw was her stage show which to me sounds akin to a freak show...to watch someone slowly kill them selves with booze and act a fool on stage. Certainly interesting and arguably entertaining, but “charming” is not a word I would use to describe her.
Bacon Grease interesting take. She’s a better singer than I am, I just don’t like her voice, and I doubt she’s written a song. What would I be jealous of? Her impeccable sense of style? Her breathy cackle? Her inability to string together coherent thoughts? Her fatal alcoholism? That’s fine if you’re a fan. I’m just stating that I never understood her appeal. She’s unbearable to me but to others she’s some sort of amazing “artist”. Odd to me, but I don’t think I’m jealous. Just confused.
Wow, I adore her laugh. She sounds like this was just recorded yesterday. I mean, she talks like this era you know? What a talent. Brilliant and very funny. Great since of humor! So sad she was taken so early in her life, by addiction. 🦋
Imagine u were arround at that time...u would find her weird. And imagine this interview is today.. we will also find it weird and people in 2050 will say "its like this interview was yesterday"
You wouldn’t have a voice like hers if you were dead. There is too much death speech in this culture. You shall have what you say, so it would be wise to reconsider your slang.
I remember seeing her on a cover of my mom's CD when I was 16 thinking she looked kinda old. Now I look at her at 41 thinking she looks so young. RIP girl.
It’s all the crusty old men who are saying she looks “old”. Geezers need to take a good look in the mirror before they go judging a young woman’s appearance! Especially a woman who was practically still a kid when she died
@@g.h.7661 Crusty old men? Janis looked like a she was a great person but she did look older than 27 due to the insane amount of drugs she was taking. Stop making things personal.
Janis will always be my favorite person as an artist she always kept it chill and real, its a shame so many artists have been dying of drugs, alcohol and suicide because they are so hyper sensitive to feelings you can tell by hearing them because they sing with true convictions and they don't focus on what people expect them to be, or perfectly toned, you can literally hear and feel the emotions in all the flaws just make them unbeatable because that's what made them incredible. 5
Guy was so shook, so taken with her, definitely blushing and stumbling over his words. It’s sad to know she never stayed with anyone who truly loved and admired her back.
Glad you could see it. Everybody else is mistakenly saying that this interaction was awkward, cringe, defensive, etc. Dick was very smitten with Janis and I've read rumors that they actually hooked up. The way they greet each other at the beginning though says it all. They're genuinely happy to see each other and familiar with each other, like friends. And she lets loose in this interview more than she did in their very first interview. Big laughs with hand claps, just being her self, feeling relaxed. Something obviously happened (in a good way) between the first time they met and then this interview. So she feels like she can be herself, and he's stumbling in a smitten way as they laugh and joke around. He really admired her.
@@BrandonChaunceyOfficial They already knew each other prior to this interview. This wasn't his first rodeo with her. He knew full well she wasn't "some dumb girl."
@@CarissaConti he just comes off like your typical creep chauvinist even to jimi hendrix but it could just be my age. I notice she crossed her leg the other way the second he called her his little songbird
@@BrandonChaunceyOfficial You should do more research on Dick Cavett. It sounds like you haven't and don't know anything about him. He was anything but chauvinist, especially with her. He really admired Janice - a true chauvinist wouldn't even be able to stomach what she was doing, especially during that time period - and I've read that they were friends outside of the show. Do you think a chauvinist would have Janis Joplin on his show, be super supportive of her, admire her and be friends with her? I think you're right that it must be your age. I don't know if by that you mean you're young, but man alive the Millennials and younger are hyper sensitive snowflakes and make "getting offended/insulted by every little thing" their personal pastime. Literally just scrutinizing the world into the ground to find something to be upset/offended/insulted about. Just seems exhausting.
I was watching an interview, same show about 10 months earlier. Her slide down is evident. Poor soul. There are so many beautiful precious souls on this planet who are treated awful due to things beyond their control and that do not matter. She was beautiful. She was sweet. But she was very sad and heroine was there and no one to tell her no...all YES PEOPLE. RIP Ms. JOPLIN
Just like Michael jackson and Elvis Presley. They killed themselves and no one tried to stop them or couldn't stop them Sometimes it's a curse for people to be rich.
whitehouse9999 she is a hippie but hippies are fucking cool , I know people like to just labal them as some drug addicts but there not all about someking weed there about free thinking and good vibes and what's wrong with that,
Cavett is very kind to her and helps smooth over her insecurities and awkwardness as well as the mistake about asking for a case of sunglasses. It's interesting to watch her go from insecure kid to business woman. It's so sad that she passed so young.
@@billweisman7146 Disagree. You must have watched Letterman back in the day. DC was always quite thoughtful with his questions but added a bit of his self-deprecating humor. He didn’t insult his guests.
She looks so " real " and this could have been filmed yesterday! She wouldn't look out of place these days but he would. She's very natural and down to earth, high or not.
He looked like Elton John with her glasses on 😂 as a young person who could never truly grasp her influence other than just learning about it, Im glad her art is alive. She's the kind of artist I wish I could have lived through
Thank u for being so..... open and not brain chipped into thinking only the Kim Kardiashians of this world are beautiful.Peopls hatred i think helped kill her. I think shes a beauty to. Unconventional... maybe but thats part of her mystique.
@Snap your fingers snap your neck from the interveiw she seemed so sweet, I do see a charisma is her that transends beauty...... Something more then talent died when she left us,
I was so lucky to see Janis at the Winnipeg Bi-Centennial Rock Festival in the summer of 1970 shortly before her death. She and a lot of other famous performers were traveling across Canada by train and having a great time.
Deb Green I saw a movie about that train. It contained quite a lot of film of the performers in the train. Sorry- there is no way I could remember its name or any other details. I remember I enjoyed the content of the movie very much. May have been on the big Laser disc format. It’s been over 20 years ago since I’ve scene it
She had a very nice smile that made her look like a school girl. She carried on a very intelligent conversation in interviews. Certainly was no dummy and she sure could belt out those songs. I still have her albums.
I love that this asshat was so emotionally distraught over your love of Janis that they had to attempt an insult... and not even a legit one haha. Wow. This guy has no life...
i love her. she was too good for this world. janis, wherever you are, you are immensely loved. you were not the negative things people said about you. you were so beautiful, inside, and out. you are missed, and certainly never forgotten. i hope to see you in valhalla 💕
I got to hug Janis at the Electric Factory in Philly. I was in the front row and she passed us on her way to the stage and she didn't mind people touching/talking to her. I hugged her and said "I love you, Janis" (not romantically). Will cherish the memory until my dying day.

She wasnt a child though this was in her late 20s and in that era pretty much everyone was smart and intelligent even kids 🥰
No

You’re not a legend until you made it on a stamp 😆
I bought like 5 sheets of those stamps when I heard they were coming out!
@Yuck Foutube yeah I only use the Janis stamps to those who really are Joplin worthy
@@cranberriesgirlhype8292 I always bought them too, until they stopped selling them.
She was like many of us,struggling to find peace of mind and our place in the world. I heard she got bullied at school, probably because she had personality, and answered back and thought for herself.
@@SleepMeditationandAffirmations emphasis on the white, not emphasis on the racist. Isn't that a tad ironic on your part?
Sixties school was rigid. Girls had to wear dresses. No dress, go home. Think a little different and 😱. It wasn’t til after she died that the Supreme Court ruled girls could wear pants. It was so controversial that it was announced over the PA system during school. Janis wearing pants on the Dick Cavett show was probably banned on family time on tv, 7-10pm.
@@kenyonbissett3512 I would like to have met her. So sad that she died so young coz of drugs
it was actually Dallas Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson who she was bullied by. It was because she didnt like sports. for shame, she left too soon. 😣
@@lillyhartman4318 bucking the establishment has a price and in Texas football is worshipped as a religion.
I've never seen an interview with her before. She's articulate and funny and friendly. Not the way she was portrayed in the press.
Sadly, the press gets just about everything wrong 😥
No one is the way they are portrayed in the press. The job of the media is to “shape and mold public opinion and behavior, both foreign and domestic“. And for TV watchers, they seem to do a pretty good job of shaping and molding them. It’s pretty scary how malleable people have become. Just one look at how people speak, dress, design their homes, and exchange their grass for rocks as if that were somehow environmental proves they how mindless they’ve become. Personally, I don’t “tune in” to be “programmed” every day, haven’t watch the news since 2007, and cut out TV and Hollywood movies, so I still have my own mind.

She had two months left after this…so sad 🤦🏻♂️! What an absolute force of nature she truly was, coupled with that natural and beautiful laugh. ♥️

I absolutely love her laugh. It's everything.
just smoke 40 a day and you can have it
Her relationship with Dick Cavett was so heart warming especially in those days.
She’s so cute, what a sweetie. I absolutely love her .
I come back to this video every few weeks. Janis was genuinely a great person. She was so down to earth and had such a lovable personality. You can hear it in her voice how sweet she was. She had such a unique aura about her. Such an inspiration!!
She was so lovely, intelligent, funny. And she will always be one of the greatest voices in music history. Such a sad loss.
The voice akin to fingernails being dragged across a chalkboard...😖
yeah man, all those hit recordings she made confirm that, why don't you have an mri and see how far your head is up your butt?
They are both so sweet, kind and genuine. Wish Janice had the chance to grow older and sing so much longer.
It’s really Amazing how some of the BEST unheard of interviews featuring the most important and popular personalities of the day WERE on the “DC” show! In my humble opinion, Mr Cavett was Underrated, and Overlooked in his day, but certainly ahead of his time.
He got Jimi Hendrix and he got John and Yoko, when few others could, or would.
Dick. Lol.. nobody names their kid Dick anymore
@LorenzoDionLee. Dick Cavett was a staff writer on The Tonight Show writing comedy for Steve Allen,Jack Parr, and Carson.Rating$ matter ; his brand appealed to an exclusive demographic of better educated and cultured and ironically with more MONEY to spend as consumers that the other networks AD-dollar$ target. His programs were on PBS later and consequently thrived as a preferred choice for more refined content. Mr. Cavett's scholarly,articulate,sharp, and smart dignified conduct,with guests ranging the cultural spectrum of interesting,intriguing personalities apparently was misconstrued by Ad-Men as not having MA$$ APPEAL;not a worthy adverti$ising ri$k. He didn't cut it with the dumbheads, SO he was cut out of the ABCcbsNBC mix of bland programming way back in his day.
I totally agree with you... I watched and really enjoyed Orson Welles on Mr Cavetts show again recently. Great insight into a lot of the back stabbing in Hollywood.
Totally agree Dick Cavett was underated. He had a marvellous gift of making his guest relax which brought out the best in people
David W: I think they switched to naming their kid Richard.
I met a girl who sang the blues and I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and turned away
Great reference...
American pie😓
You are cool
@Nenethegreat W American pie is open to interpertation but i have heard that that phrase may be abut JJ>
well that why she was singing the blurs
I wish she had found love. She was a beautiful person.
I thought she did find love with Jimmy Hendrix. I could be wrong of course. Yes another Legend... There are so many... Jim Morrison etc ... My personal favourite is Rodriguez. He is still with us today. It’s these souls who have inspired many...
Punk Shark ... Woops, Didn’t know that. Thanks for informing me 🙏🏼
me too :(
Janis found love with Peggy Caserta
Love was very elusive for her. I know that feeling. So sad
Just 27 years old Janis Joplin was a true genius and a pioneer, Just imagine how far she would"ve went had she lived longer. Rest in Paradise Queen.....
Just imagine how she might have continued singing if she had stayed clear of cigarettes, alcohol and heroin. Black and white, spell it out. Her singing voice was also damaged in the process.
Her laugh brings me so much joy.
She giggles like a little girl. Who would think that from listening to her sing.
@@stompthedragon4010 I love everything about her accept 2 things, her addiction and that she left us too soon. This may sound weird coming from a 11 year old kid but its absolutely true.

She was adorable, love her laugh,voice and personality
Batshit crazy is the word.
She was indeed adorable.
I will never understand her appeal. She seems like a dumb drunk with a mediocre voice that would’ve failed her in the coming years with her lifestyle. She’s not charming, she was just a counterculture icon. I’m convinced that if she didn’t die young, she would’ve been an obscurity within a few years....in honesty, she’s more talented than I am, but almost all of her hits were covers. Her draw was her stage show which to me sounds akin to a freak show...to watch someone slowly kill them selves with booze and act a fool on stage. Certainly interesting and arguably entertaining, but “charming” is not a word I would use to describe her.
Idolhands7007 you seem a bit jealous.
Bacon Grease interesting take. She’s a better singer than I am, I just don’t like her voice, and I doubt she’s written a song. What would I be jealous of? Her impeccable sense of style? Her breathy cackle? Her inability to string together coherent thoughts? Her fatal alcoholism? That’s fine if you’re a fan. I’m just stating that I never understood her appeal. She’s unbearable to me but to others she’s some sort of amazing “artist”. Odd to me, but I don’t think I’m jealous. Just confused.
Wow, I adore her laugh. She sounds like this was just recorded yesterday. I mean, she talks like this era you know? What a talent. Brilliant and very funny. Great since of humor! So sad she was taken so early in her life, by addiction. 🦋
Or maybe....people today talk like they're from the 70's.
Imagine u were arround at that time...u would find her weird. And imagine this interview is today.. we will also find it weird and people in 2050 will say "its like this interview was yesterday"
And people talked this way in 1965.
Free thinking, independent, totally disinterested in societal norms. Just doing her own thing. She was way ahead of her time.
The year 1970 was a tragic year. Losing both Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix (who died on my birthday). Man smh!
omg what a queen. She’s absolutely stunning and i would die to have a voice like hers.
everything about her is so amazing, her voice, the ways she smokes everything.
Drink a bottle of bourbon per day and smoke a couple packs of cigs for a start...
You wouldn’t have a voice like hers if you were dead. There is too much death speech in this culture. You shall have what you say, so it would be wise to reconsider your slang.
Love watching this. She was on his show many times he made her feel comfortable. She was so very smart and loved her voice ❤️
I remember seeing her on a cover of my mom's CD when I was 16 thinking she looked kinda old. Now I look at her at 41 thinking she looks so young. RIP girl.
It’s all the crusty old men who are saying she looks “old”. Geezers need to take a good look in the mirror before they go judging a young woman’s appearance! Especially a woman who was practically still a kid when she died
She was young but she looked older like in 40s rather than 20s
@@g.h.7661 she was in 20s and died at 27 but she always looked more mature as compared to that it's not judging it's just a thought
@@g.h.7661 Crusty old men? Janis looked like a she was a great person but she did look older than 27 due to the insane amount of drugs she was taking. Stop making things personal.
@@R49_Complete before she became famous shed moved to san fran and become a speed freak and eventually had to move back home, speed ages people.
Janis will always be my favorite person as an artist she always kept it chill and real, its a shame so many artists have been dying of drugs, alcohol and suicide because they are so hyper sensitive to feelings you can tell by hearing them because they sing with true convictions and they don't focus on what people expect them to be, or perfectly toned, you can literally hear and feel the emotions in all the flaws just make them unbeatable because that's what made them incredible.

I like your hair 👍@Alexandru Octavian
Guy was so shook, so taken with her, definitely blushing and stumbling over his words. It’s sad to know she never stayed with anyone who truly loved and admired her back.
Glad you could see it. Everybody else is mistakenly saying that this interaction was awkward, cringe, defensive, etc. Dick was very smitten with Janis and I've read rumors that they actually hooked up. The way they greet each other at the beginning though says it all. They're genuinely happy to see each other and familiar with each other, like friends. And she lets loose in this interview more than she did in their very first interview. Big laughs with hand claps, just being her self, feeling relaxed. Something obviously happened (in a good way) between the first time they met and then this interview. So she feels like she can be herself, and he's stumbling in a smitten way as they laugh and joke around. He really admired her.
@@CarissaConti he was trying to be creepy at first until he realized she wasn't some dumb girl
@@BrandonChaunceyOfficial They already knew each other prior to this interview. This wasn't his first rodeo with her. He knew full well she wasn't "some dumb girl."
@@CarissaConti he just comes off like your typical creep chauvinist even to jimi hendrix but it could just be my age. I notice she crossed her leg the other way the second he called her his little songbird
@@BrandonChaunceyOfficial You should do more research on Dick Cavett. It sounds like you haven't and don't know anything about him. He was anything but chauvinist, especially with her. He really admired Janice - a true chauvinist wouldn't even be able to stomach what she was doing, especially during that time period - and I've read that they were friends outside of the show. Do you think a chauvinist would have Janis Joplin on his show, be super supportive of her, admire her and be friends with her? I think you're right that it must be your age. I don't know if by that you mean you're young, but man alive the Millennials and younger are hyper sensitive snowflakes and make "getting offended/insulted by every little thing" their personal pastime. Literally just scrutinizing the world into the ground to find something to be upset/offended/insulted about. Just seems exhausting.
I was watching an interview, same show about 10 months earlier. Her slide down is evident. Poor soul. There are so many beautiful precious souls on this planet who are treated awful due to things beyond their control and that do not matter. She was beautiful. She was sweet. But she was very sad and heroine was there and no one to tell her no...all YES PEOPLE. RIP Ms. JOPLIN
Just like Michael jackson and Elvis Presley. They killed themselves and no one tried to stop them or couldn't stop them Sometimes it's a curse for people to be rich.
There was some chemistry going on, she was so friendly
Yeah thats why i really like her ☺🥰🤟🏻
I think Dick C. feels cool talking with someone who's so hip.
He confessed in the documentary ‘Little Girl Blue’ that they’d been intimate together. 😀
It's impressive how articulated, educated and polite Janis was. A lovely and very 'groovy' interview.
If Peppermint Pattie grew up to be a Rock Star it would be Janis Joplin.
Ohhh, you are so right. Good thought.
castrado. look it up.
I never thought of that before but now I'll Always think of that!
It took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize you were talking about the red head from Peanuts
I can totally see it!
I thought she’d be this dirty, crazy ass hippie chick.
She’s totally not the crazy person the media portrayed her to be.
So true. It’s truly sad how the media sways minds especially when they’re portraying someone out to be so crazy. She was one awesome chick!
whitehouse9999 she is a hippie but hippies are fucking cool , I know people like to just labal them as some drug addicts but there not all about someking weed there about free thinking and good vibes and what's wrong with that,
Guessing you didn't watch the interview. Seems crazy to me.
Carl Gibans what's normal hmm?
The media does that.
Janies is beautiful. I have always loved her. She was so unique, and her sound was the one and only. Miss the lady.
Hello Kathy 👋👋 How are you doing and how's the weather condition over there... ???
Cavett is very kind to her and helps smooth over her insecurities and awkwardness as well as the mistake about asking for a case of sunglasses. It's interesting to watch her go from insecure kid to business woman. It's so sad that she passed so young.
Cavett was sarcastic and asked really stupid questions.
They liked each other.
@@billweisman7146 Disagree. You must have watched Letterman back in the day. DC was always quite thoughtful with his questions but added a bit of his self-deprecating humor. He didn’t insult his guests.

She looks so " real " and this could have been filmed yesterday! She wouldn't look out of place these days but he would. She's very natural and down to earth, high or not.
He looked like Elton John with her glasses on 😂 as a young person who could never truly grasp her influence other than just learning about it, Im glad her art is alive. She's the kind of artist I wish I could have lived through
Reminded me of Peter Fonda in Easyriders
Young?
She had an interesting,unique look,but definitely not ugly. And was truly talented.
by noooo means 😁
A little make up would've fixed everything. She had a make up on Monterey. She definitely made her look better.
Janis was so down to earth and could sing her heart out and never get tired She loved the audience and they loved her right back
When Dick put those glasses on he kinda looked like Elton John 😂
Yes! I thought the same thing.
Lol me too I thought that too

Oh yes! Before Elton John became The Rocket Man!
Exactly what I thought!
She's the Woodstock in person!!!

Thank u for being so..... open and not brain chipped into thinking only the Kim Kardiashians of this world are beautiful.Peopls hatred i think helped kill her. I think shes a beauty to. Unconventional... maybe but thats part of her mystique.
@Snap your fingers snap your neck from the interveiw she seemed so sweet, I do see a charisma is her that transends beauty...... Something more then talent died when she left us,

I was so lucky to see Janis at the Winnipeg Bi-Centennial Rock Festival in the summer of 1970 shortly before her death. She and a lot of other famous performers were traveling across Canada by train and having a great time.
Deb Green I saw a movie about that train. It contained quite a lot of film of the performers in the train. Sorry- there is no way I could remember its name or any other details. I remember I enjoyed the content of the movie very much. May have been on the big Laser disc format. It’s been over 20 years ago since I’ve scene it
