Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits is a 1973 collection of hit songs by American singer-songwriter Janis Joplin, who died in 1970. It features live versions of Down On Me and Ball and Chain which were included on the In Concert album the previous year. Piece of My Heart" (Bert Berns, Jerry Ragovoy) – 4:14. Summertime" (George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin, Dubose Heyward) – 4:02. Try (Just a Little Bit Harder)" (Ragovoy, Chip Taylor) – 3:57. Cry Baby" (Berns, Ragovoy) – 4:00.
Drawing inspiration from Bessie Smith and Odetta, Janis Joplin developed a brash, uncompromising vocal style quite unlike traditional folk Madonnas. In 1966, Joplin was invited to the Bay Area to front Big Brother & the Holding Company. Cheap Thrills, a joyous celebration of true psychedelic soul, contained two Joplin "standards" in "Piece of My Heart" and "Ball and Chain," but she left the group in November 1968.
So what about Janis Joplin" She’s part of that year 27 curse (a legitimately creepy phenomenon), and she died in the same three year span as Hendrix and Morrison, so she will forever be part of that pantheon. Her rise was quick, catapulted by Monterrey in the same way Hendrix was, and she absolutely burned out (heroin overdose) before having the chance to ungracefully fade away. The important question isn’t Joplin’s talent; that much was undeniable. Anybody who’s heard Piece of My Heart or Cry Baby knew this gravelly voiced powerhouse could absolutely belt out soulful blues jams that most people absolutely cannot nor will not for the foreseeable future. It isn’t about the legitimacy of her flower queen status, it is actually far more likely her entire persona was calculated specifically to align with the times and launch herself into fame.
