"I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday" is one of the greatest lines ever delivered. Kris Kristofferson wrote that, but Janis owned that.
Thx for this. My father was in a band, he sang this song. He died when I was 5, I don't remember much but apparently this was my favourite song he sang because when he took out his guitar I would say Bobby Gee Daddy. And I would give up all my tomorrow's for one yesterday. RIP Dad.
My son asked me who this crazy woman ? ( 12 years old) I told him that this Janis Joplin, an amazing woman. My CD disappear from my truck ( he borrowed it) and has been hearing Janis from then. He’s been listening 60/ 70 s music for his years.
Chris Kristofferson was very close to JJ and he was crushed by her death. Unbeknownst to him she had recorded Bobby McGee for her new album (as a surprise for him) and he did not learn of it until after her death. For a long time he could not listen to her recording and he has said her death haunts him to this day. It's so regrettable how much drugs decimated the pioneers of Rock and Roll. I am reminded of the lyrics a Fred Eaglesmith song, "Fame doesn't take away the pain, it just pays the bills".
Not only is this an incredible song and singer, this is the ultimate rock/Country/Blues fusion. Steel Guitar and Hammond organ blending together with her incredible voice and energy!
She was actually clean when she made this album and relapsed shortly after. One of my favorites. I would suggest Mercedes Benz. It's different but awesome.
Chris sure knows how to paint a picture. And Janis brought it to life! One of my favorite lines of all time "I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday" AWWWSUM
India, check out Kris Kristofferson's music. You will recognize him as an actor, but he is a great songwriter. He is part of the Highway Men, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson.
The album Pearl came out after Janis's death and was her best in terms of cohesion, though I like all her recordings, it just makes you think what a shame.
@@sacluvsBM Definitely better with a fuller meatier sound, Big Brother was a more psychedelic sound like Quicksilver Messenger Service or Jefferson Airplane but less talent than Quicksilver or JA
Janis Joplin was a founding member of the 27 Club. If you’ve never heard of that, look it up. Sadly it can be a hell of a price to pay for fame. I didn’t appreciate her music until I was much older. She had a one-of-a-kind voice.
Pearl was Janis' last album. It was released after she died. I was 10 when Janis died and Pearl was my first experience of Janis Joplin's extraordinary voice. There have been two truly great female blues singers in history. Billie Holiday was the first and Janis was the other. Check out the unaccompanied Oh Lord Won't You But Me a Mercedes Benz on Pearl.
I really enjoy watching your reactions to these classic songs and iconic artists. For me (who is very familiar with them) it's like living the experience of hearing it for the first time. Keep it up India!
There was a girl in Seattle by the name of Duffy Bishop who sounded exactly like Joplin. She was very popular at the Seattle clubs in the 80s. I doubt anyone could tell whether they were listening to Janice or Duffy.
My favorite song by Janis Joplin is called........ " Call on Me"........ from her boxed set album called " Box of Pearls"....( NOT the Alternate take version)........I guarantee you will love this song India......It's so slow and soulful.
I worked a job where my boss and I started at 5.30 in the morning and she loved to put Janis on the stereo while we got things ready. And I remember thinking: "Man, this is just too much intensity at this hour of the morning." I ended up buying her a Janis Joplin toy figure for her birthday.
Kristofferson is the old white guy who works with Blade! And it’s REDDing. Not Reeding. He’s on of the great losses to soul music. Check out his clips from the Monterey Pop Festival.
I am really glad to see that you are introducing yourself to a lot of classic music. I'd also like to thank you for reacquainting me with the music of my youth. Songs I grew up with but have not heard for ages. Keep on chooglin'.
Janis was around long enough to make an impression on us Jr.'s &Seniors and as abruptly as she appeared, she left us, WAY TOO SOON! We thought she had an unrequited love for Jimi, so for her to die so soon after his passing wasn't a shock! Both are surely missed. This song definately was one of her more memorable tunes, especially after she says New Orleans, the song takes a life of it's own! We loved her for voice, her unadulterated style of dress, and her rambunctious nature that said, "lets just all have a GOOD TIME while we're here!
Kris Kristopherson (?) wrote it Bobbie as a woman, but loved her version Bobby as a man. Jimi Hendrix was a friend, after he passed, a month before her, she really became lost. Your reaction is by far the best I've seen. Bless you....
Many young people in the late 60s to early 70s, for no other reason but experience, would hitchhike across the country, it was called "truckin." It was a life adventure. There are a lot of songs from this era about it.
India ... really? You don't know who Otis Redding was? Please, devote a couple of hours to his catalog. He was the biggest star on Stax. Otis was the man. Anyway, these iconic lines tear me up every time: "freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose" and "I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday."
The 60's were the years of Hippies, Drifters, Hitchhikers... Teens and young people running away from the rigidity of their parents who experienced WWII.
Always a song for me & my man- Zachary. ( aka Gator) And , yes, a song for women or men. Its very meaningful. Written by Kris Kristofferson. About a woman. But carried into a wonderful realm of ... me and you and your love and my love and everybody's love. No matter who you are. Or that person at that time. Janis covered a lot of territory in a very few short years. She sings for everybody. Thank you again for your appreciation of her work. ♥
hippies , free spirits, it was the days of peace and love and power to the people and in hers and to many others cases LSD and heroin and speed god rest her soul
This song was written by Kris Kristofferson one of many hits he wrote. He wrote many country songs that pushed the boundries of country music for its day. " Take the ribbon from your hair " is one of those songs. Kris also wrote "Sunday Morning Coming Down" which was recorded by Johnny Cash and was a big hit.
Was never a fan of Janis’s before but I’ve just listened to this properly for the first time and have to say it’s awesome, I do have a favorite of her’s so much so I bought it on iTunes “Call on me” love it 💕
I think most people would be surprised to learn that Tonya Harding could sing this song beautifully. Used to hang out at a bar in PDX called Mollie McGee's and heard her sing it there on karaoke night.
So I'm home sick today and have been binge watching your vids. I love how you are so open to different eras and genres of music. Louis Armstrong once said there's only two kinds of music...the good kind and the bad kind (and he played the good kind). Keep doing what you're doing!
They were hippies. Lots of folks got around hitch hiking (thumbing for a ride) traveling the country, sharing drugs, food and homes. Very communal. I really love her rendition of this song.
Back in the day we hitchhiked everywhere. I certainly didn't think of myself as a drifter. But you never knew how far the next ride would take you, who you meet on the road, how long you would be with them, and the new relationship could be intense, smooth, or irritating. Good times!
I'd trade all of my tomorrow's for one single yesterday. Best line ever. I love this song. It's of of my a all time favorite songs Ann's has been for years. I love her soon Another Piece of My Heart.
Janis Joplin has been referred to as the Queen Mother of rock and roll at the Monterey Pop Festival was Mama Cass Elliot and when Janis Joplin came on stage virtually unknown nobody knew who she was and when she came out singing You Could Read Mama Cass Elliot's lips on the video and she saying oh my God Miss Janis Joplin we miss you rest in peace
In the 60s and early 70s a lot of youth went off to explore the country by hitch hiking. So they weren't "drifters" per say. Someone once told me that watching Janice on stage was like watching someone die a little she put so much of herself into everything.
"I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday" is one of the greatest lines ever delivered. Kris Kristofferson wrote that, but Janis owned that.
One of my favorite lyrics.
Mine too.
Jason Remy.. agreed ain’t it so the truth though!
@@ryannt.2143 It is. I always loved the lyric " freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose" also.
FACTS
Thx for this. My father was in a band, he sang this song. He died when I was 5, I don't remember much but apparently this was my favourite song he sang because when he took out his guitar I would say Bobby Gee Daddy. And I would give up all my tomorrow's for one yesterday. RIP Dad.
"Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose." I feel this song so much.
There has been no other lyric in a song that has stuck with me as much as this one
i’d trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday ‼️
My son asked me who this crazy woman ? ( 12 years old) I told him that this Janis Joplin, an amazing woman. My CD disappear from my truck ( he borrowed it) and has been hearing Janis from then. He’s been listening 60/ 70 s music for his years.
Piece of My Heart will blow you away!
Yes. Blow you away! I agree.
That's the truth!
"Freedom's just another word for 'nothing left to lose." - Boy, you'd better believe it!
Yep, one of the truest song lines ever written
Sad and scary but true
Sadly this album came out after her death at age 27. It was her biggest hit, and best selling album. She never knew.
Damn, I didn't know that.
@@zenseed75 ,Today is Janis Joplin's Birthday, January 19th 2020 Hey Pearl, Earth is sending Love up!🎂🎂🎂🎂❤❤❤❤
I met a girl who sang the blues, and I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and turned away. Guess who?
@@danwesterhouse6627 I never knew that line was about Janis. Thanks

Janis was simply the best at this kind of bluesy rock. She was awesome and flat ass great. Sshe left us way too soon.
Come on who doesn't like this song okay it's been overplayed but still it's dammed near perfection
Old Argyll can’t over play this
@@Ratbiker48 it was more in comment to the person that disliked it a minute after India posted it.
Maybe they hate reactions vids?
@@effigytormented probably shouldn't watch them then pmsl.
The are a handful of "Greatest songs ever written" this falls solidly onto that list
Not only is this an incredible song and singer, this is the ultimate rock/Country/Blues fusion. Steel Guitar and Hammond organ blending together with her incredible voice and energy!
She was actually clean when she made this album and relapsed shortly after. One of my favorites. I would suggest Mercedes Benz. It's different but awesome.
One of my favorites. Oh Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz my friends all drive Porsches I must make amends ♥️
this is sad in context of her following death--a heroin high She THOUGHT she Could Handle..but sadly ..she overdosed big time.
One of my favorite songs of all time. Her voice has a raw, emotional quality to it. Mesmerizing. Great reaction!
Chris sure knows how to paint a picture. And Janis brought it to life! One of my favorite lines of all time "I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday" AWWWSUM
This song shows how beautiful her voice can be when she wants it to be.
India, check out Kris Kristofferson's music. You will recognize him as an actor, but he is a great songwriter. He is part of the Highway Men, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson.
I LOVE Kris! Those blue eyes w/ Striesand in my generation's "..Star is Born"❤
A highly educated man as well!
The album Pearl came out after Janis's death and was her best in terms of cohesion, though I like all her recordings, it just makes you think what a shame.
Not one bad song on that album.
And Full Tilt Boogie was a far, far better band than Big Brother.
@@sacluvsBM Definitely better with a fuller meatier sound, Big Brother was a more psychedelic sound like Quicksilver Messenger Service or Jefferson Airplane but less talent than Quicksilver or JA
Stevie Nicks - ( Fleetwood Mac ) - Gold Dust Woman
Shes another woman who can sing her soul out
Stevie Nicks is an excellent songwriter but she as a singer is not that great. Janis was great!
Cry Baby by Janis Joplin is really good.
Really ,really good!
Kris Kristofferson is one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th century. Listen to his and Johnny Cash's recordings of Sunday Morning Coming Down.
Why Me Lord is another great!

I wish that I had a friend like you. I love your love of music of all types.
Great singer of the 60s Janis Joplin will live on forever

Janis Joplin great music
Summertime by Janis Joplin w Big Brother and the Holding Co. also Mercedes Benz please!!
April Medlin 👍. One of her best.
That organ,and her wail YAAASSSSSSS!
I really enjoy watching your reactions to these classic songs and iconic artists. For me (who is very familiar with them) it's like living the experience of hearing it for the first time. Keep it up India!
Hey, India, check out her other song "Piece of my heart" , u won't b disappointed !!! 👍
Janice was a once in a lifetime singer Nobody like her since
What about Joss Stone?
Judy Garland was amazing, too.
Christina Vierra does Incredible covers. Check her on UA-cam
There was a girl in Seattle by the name of Duffy Bishop who sounded exactly like Joplin. She was very popular at the Seattle clubs in the 80s. I doubt anyone could tell whether they were listening to Janice or Duffy.
Billie Holliday
My very favorite singer and song.
My favorite song by Janis Joplin is called........ " Call on Me"........ from her boxed set album called " Box of Pearls"....( NOT the Alternate take version)........I guarantee you will love this song India......It's so slow and soulful.
I'm your, one of my favorites.
Pearl was the name of Janis' alter ego. God, I loved her.
Blues and Soul combined. Janis was one of a kind! AS IN GREAT !
I'm a 70s child and grew up on her music!! Everyone tries to duplicate her but can never be her!! There is only one Joplin
I worked a job where my boss and I started at 5.30 in the morning and she loved to put Janis on the stereo while we got things ready. And I remember thinking: "Man, this is just too much intensity at this hour of the morning." I ended up buying her a Janis Joplin toy figure for her birthday.
Started listening to Janis in 1974, in the Navy, the voice touched me
PINK does an awesome rendition of this song
She’s probably the only one who could
Not like Janis!
Kris was a great artist both singer and writer in his own right.
Kristofferson is the old white guy who works with Blade!
And it’s REDDing. Not Reeding.
He’s on of the great losses to soul music.
Check out his clips from the Monterey Pop Festival.
Kris Kristofferson was a country/folk giant.
@@mythdefied9070 Yes, and she covered Sunday morning coming down also.
And it's "He's one of the ..." not He's on of the ...." by the way.
Since we are policing this stuff now.
And it's "He's one of the ..." not He's on of the ...." by the way.

I lovee janis joplin 🌹🌹🌹😍😍😍😍 she is amazing
Nice to see you appreciate that which sparked a million teenage souls in the 60's.
Pearl is iconic. Cry Baby and Piece of my Heart for sure.
One of a kind. Died way too young. R.I.P.
Thanks for this suprise Christmas present. Made me happy this Christmas Eve.
The blues aren’t in popular music much any more, and it’s our loss.
Have you heard Tennessee Whiskey by Chris Stapelton? That's blues today.
JANIS JOPLIN...The ultimate flower child!!! As 😎 cool as they come.
Janis - "A Woman Left Lonely"....PLEASE
My favorite female singer for more than 50 years.
Nobody before or since like Janis .
She doesn't have a song that sucks. She was the queen of blues and didn't live long enough to know it.❤❤❤⚘✌
I am really glad to see that you are introducing yourself to a lot of classic music. I'd also like to thank you for reacquainting me with the music of my youth. Songs I grew up with but have not heard for ages. Keep on chooglin'.

Just an amazing song. That voice.
Janis Joplin was so talented and different very unique sound. You need to listen to Piece of my Heart... classic
hippies , free spirits, it was the days of peace and love and power to the people and in hers and to many others cases LSD and heroin and speed god rest her soul
Her backing group was "Big Brother And The Holding Company"--Whenever Janice took the stage she always had a bottle of Southern Comfort
This is my all time favourite song! 🤘🏻
Piece of my heart is one of my favorite Janis songs!
A unique performance. A treasure. Thank you for reacting to this. More people need to know about Janis.
There is a song by her very short and acapella. It called Oh Lord. It's humourous sort of. Love ya India reacts keep it up.
I love me some Janis Joplin, especially the song A little piece of my heart.
The best of times.....I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday.✌
My son once referred to me as a tragic romantic. True
One of the greatest songs ever!

The last song she ever sang finished recording it went back to the hotel & OD
Mercedes Benz is the last song she ever recorded
i wish i could hear this song for the first time again, but sharing it and watching others is pretty beautiful too
Such a brilliant song! takes me back to a very painful time... JJ WAS SUCH A GIFTED SINGER SONGWRITER!!
Hi i heard this same song by pink amazing but janis always be the queen.
So I'm home sick today and have been binge watching your vids. I love how you are so open to different eras and genres of music. Louis Armstrong once said there's only two kinds of music...the good kind and the bad kind (and he played the good kind). Keep doing what you're doing!
India, another great song by Kris Kristofferson - Loving Her Was Easier
It's been 50 years and I still miss her.
They were hippies. Lots of folks got around hitch hiking (thumbing for a ride) traveling the country, sharing drugs, food and homes. Very communal. I really love her rendition of this song.

JANIS JOPLIN LA MUJER MAS INCREIBLE Y HERMOSA DE LA HISTORIA TE LLORO TODOS LOS DIAS ...MI DIOSA.
This has been covered by everyone. I love Janis' version and The Grateful Dead's version.
Nobody but nobody does this better
Her voice was one of a kind R-I-P J-J
You want the best? Piece of my heart is mandatory from her catalog.
Janis was all soul...beautiful!!
Her performance has aged remarkably well. Best wishes, Ms. Joplin. Keep shouting.
Yesssss!!!! Love this song!
Everytime I hear her I'm reminded of my Papa... I do miss him. but I love to listen to her.
