  • Can someone please tell me what this song is, I've been tring to find it but can't.

  • Anyone that hates Janis Joplin is an idiot.She was not a bad person.She just had personal issues that she dealt with the wrong way(drugs & alcohol).She was an amazing singer.Her music transcends time.She's a legend.I'm extremely sad she is dead.I hope she's in a better place free from what made her troubled.Her "Me and Bobby McGee" is one my all times favorite songs.R.I.P Janis

  • I love Janis Joplin! I don't focus on her personal troubles - I just care that she was a FANTASTIC singer!!

  • To all of you who have trashed Janis Joplin you can say she was a drug addict, you can say you think she was ugly, you can say she can't sing, but you are the ones who got on here KNOWING it was a Janis Joplin video what does that say about YOUR intelligence. I would say it means you have very little if any, and you have no life if you have to watch a video of a singer you don't like, go out side and get a life..

  • i love that !!!!

  • I'll send you the Fair Use Notice in a PM since I cant seem to post it here. I used it for my Solomon Burke vid and it worked. Its worked a lot actually and it IS legal. If you have to do that......appeal form crap thing......paste it there. But I also used it in my video info. I hate those forms. I had a great channel and it was suspended and then the copyright crap took off. I try to help people with this if I can. Hope it helps. And thank you for sharin with the world. Peace♥

  • Aw, that sucks =(

  • Well, a lot of my old favourites have been either deleted or are now unavalaible in my country. I don't know when this started but you can't really blame the Youtube staff. I don't know what pressure has been put on them or from who. I hope they fight the bastards and let the good times come back. Youtube has alwas helped win new fans for new bands, and helped us remember and honor the old stars. The Media Groups are just hurting themselves. Cheers

  • hell ya stick it to those youtube bull shitters. We want our Music and we Want it now

  • Sorry,,, to all Janis Fans,,You Tube has Trashed a Good Video yet again. Read Description Please

  • masterstaff, indeed ur correct!!! utube think they're screwing us but WMG might want to change it's practices of trying to opress our entertainment, something better is on the way...yes we will find a new toy, and we'll drop them like the hot mess they've become, they dont realize that what they're DOING will make them obselete. btw. thanks for the post... I'm totally a fan of yours. I used to listen to this jus about everyday.

    PEACE.

  • I think Youtube has gone way to strict.

  • i am just shocked and speechless.

  • Well, at least I like the song you replaced it with.

  • Up yours YOUTUBE !

  • Man I forgot how awesome this song and Janis Joplin is. Thanks for posting!

  • brilliant!

  • I love Janis. She was amazingly gorgeouss! And she really lived, didn't she? haha. Amazing song.:)

  • mussman717word ! very good indeed! Janis one of the best !! LIVED HER LIFE HER WAY! AND YES TO THE FULLEST! taking shit from no one!! her and bobby mc gee is one of my best! lol peace out to the one with good taste.

  • It's my favorite song of Janice Joplin!

  • Janis is probably one of if not my all time fave and this song is the best. I wish she had made it longer - I dont understand why half the world is cryin when the other half is cry'in too

  • I love this song and I love Janis!

  • gReAt SoNg jAn

  • Damn, this takes me right back to my days of drifting....ahhh the 70s, what a time

  • I would marry her tomorrow.

  • great song, great voice, pathetic life...

  • Pathetic life why? Because she enjoyed it? Lived every minute of it to the fullest? Look at yourself, probably wasting your life away working 39 hours a week for minimum wage, sitting here on YouTube disrespecting legends who were so far above your level of intelligence, you can't even realize it. You are the one with a pathetic life, and I don't think anybody would disagree with me. Peace, fucker!

  • la cancion magnifica y el video la mejor recopilacion de fotos ke he visto ... magnificas....

  • Rock on JANIS

  • such a great singer - love janis XXX

  • best voice ever

  • after five years as a semi-pro musician, i can say with a little authority one truth:

    musicians are flakes.

    they got problems with drugs, alcohol, the opposite sex, money, ability to hold a job, et cetera.

    seems as if with creativity comes irresponsibility.

  • Actually, that's the human condition. They just get away with it, as we do with athletes, politicians, actors, etc. We coddle them, and allow it. Working stiffs just get fired.

  • and.........

  • If alachol makes you look 20 yrs older does that mean im only35?

  • loll

  • FUCK YEA! Janis joplin is the shit!!!! i love this song...so many memmories..,...

  • thats the way I want to here :-)

  • The point of a talent like Janis' is her ability to put heart and soul into her music. American Idol is about absolutely nothing but the highest level of commercial appeal, and commercial appeal leaves little room for passion.

  • 1:46 is that a 356 speedster?

  • yes it is ^^

  • yessss!!!

  • Amy Winehouse is going down the same path..She is a great singer too! but has problems with drugs and alcohol.

  • the rubber duck from convoy wrote this song

  • Hey djoel71 --

    You're right... The Rubber Duck did write this...

    Some even know him by the name of Kristofferson

  • January 19th 1943 to October 4th 1970. Work it out yourself.

  • Why must the legendary ones die so young? sheesh imagine the music she could have made if she was still alive...27 is just so young

  • Wow she rules. I love her voice! :)

  • such a great singer! terrible loss!

  • Great song, incredible woman, and awsome pics masterstaff

  • yeah she is a member of the 27 club

  • Janis,la mas grande !!!

  • thats cause she was the gang bang queen

  • alcohol makes you look 20 yrs older. there will never be another Janis--its very sad that we lost her.the greats could see how the world really is--it's too bad to live in.

  • hai assolutamente ragione

    Janis Joplin RULES!!!

  • hendrix, morrison and joplin all died at 27, eerie

  • one of the best ever....!

  • I love it, it's my favorite song of Janice Joplin! 5 stars

  • She was THE BEST Rock/Blues singers that ever lived!!!

  • Great Kris Kristofferson song, Janis the only one.

  • wow what can you say about Janis, classic real sin that she left us so young

    No one can touch you Janis you'll always be the greatest

  • could any body help me find uh song and it goes like oh good look at me know something like that

  • whats the big deal if youre 18 and you know who this woman is?? IM even younger and I know...

  • she was awesome!!!

  • Beautiful :)

  • I love the look of Grace's face at six seconds.

    Oh ya, and great song

  • GREAT PHOTOS We all know this song is great (Kristofferson hit the bell with this- but Janis took it to another level)

    True story- right before the closed the Fillmore East In NYC Janis was jammin & my cousin handed her a bottle of Southern Comfort- she took a swig and handed it back , the crowd was crazy

    Man I wish there was a time machine !!!

  • I wan't sure about Janis, the only tracks I had heard were terrible. Her voice was so coarse you could barely tell what she was saying in most parts and a lot of words were slurred. I'm guessing she may have been too far into the drugs in what i saw or she wasn't good live. Either way this is alot better.

  • r u kiding me? She has a diff style, she was expressing her deepest emotions, not everyone sings like this soft, girly pop stuff. Janis Joplin was one of the most talented singers America ever had!

  • For you information I don't listen to soft, girly pop. I dont doubt Janis was talented, all I said was I heard some really bad recordings that put me off, but after hearing this I do think she is really talented and in this video I enjoyed her vioce.

  • Good classic. Wouldnt have any of the music were listening today with out singers like this one.

  • Is this all you do? Go to all of Janis's videos, and post your vulgar, crass comments.. Get a life sucker!

  • i wonder if bobby ever gets creeped out sleeping next to a corpse. well i guess love is the ultimate bond.......but im sure her jelly flesh is a pretty good adhesive too

  • Janis joplin is awsome, just shows anther good life taken by drugs. I wish i could have seen her in person. And phoneix no one gives a shit what you think ur just anther nobody and we need ur negative shit if dont like janis then go lisin to sumthin else

  • i want all of her outfits

  • It's to bad she had a knack for Southern Comfort and heroin

  • I always thought janis was a drug attic bitch

  • I'm not saying drugs are good, I'm saying they have never hurt my record collection.

  • Name one singer. Or even a Movie star. That wasnt doing somthing back then. Good to listen to the classics. The music we listen today wouldnt exist if we diddnt have singers like this one.

  • Roger Daltrey.

  • what an epic track! the best thing about it is that i got the ringer for free from MyFavoriteRingTone. Com they're awesome!

  • only so few muscians bring such a unique style, of sound and talent. and when they pass, it truly is devasting.

    1953-1990's

  • what a damn loss, love this song and her music

  • grew up hearing this love it!!!!!!

  • oh yes...my deceased wife too...SORRY DEBBIE!!!!!!!!!!!

  • first time when I had heard it, I thought that the singer was black

    but then I saw janis on the woodstock festival

    J.J. = best white blues female singer

    forever 27( like jimi hendrix, james morrison, kurt cobain)

  • "music is a language we can all understand" stevie wonder

    " i found out the hard way, there ain't no color to the blues" kenny wayne sheppard

    let's go party brother

  • he's called jim morrison !!!!!!

    james sings nowadays

  • First some guy sang this song, then her, then gordon lightfoot. I only heard this one, bu I'm sure that gordon's good.

  • "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose," those words have so much power to me

  • a true great classic superstars today only wish they could be this famous

  • I agree, I can't see any of todays performers being close to as good and legendary as someone like Janis Joplin

  • This song always gets to me; you can feel her pain! Poor girl.

  • what a voice <3

  • La Godessss! She dug deep for the treasures she gave us, reminds me of the Pinero line about the deep sea diver who doesn't want to surface any more.

  • I see Janice Joplin in my head movies. When I hears her beautiful raspy voice I get water in my eyes.

  • bad news janis, bobby don't like dead people : (

  • Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose !

  • Meeeyeaa and bobbiya Mageeyaaerrrr!

  • YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS KID PLAY GUITAR

  • a lala

  • I just love her....this song always makes my cryin'

    I will keep on listenin' when Im gone ;-)

  • I just hope she stills sing i heaven

  • She probably went to hell, considering her lifestyle.

  • By today's standards she would barely interest the paparazzi's. She took drugs, not eat baby kittens in front of children.

  • Janis decided to do this song while going out with Kris Kristofferson.

  • Best ever and I am young too and I HATE our generation of rock! this is the best ever

  • amen!

  • have a cookie!

  • Do let everybody remember that great star! Unforgettable!!!

  • it's cause new rock is to genre specialized.  classic rock was all over the place

  • my 18 year old daughter loves janic j

    i might not of taught her much but i do get her to listen to only the best R. I.P.

  • Great song. Great person. Great shame she is gone. Some people wouldn't know greatness if it hit them in the face.

  • your so right the "NEW ROCK' is not like the classic rock u no Jimi hendrix, carlos santana

    p.s- i am also yong to

  • What a trip to read the comments from our younger generation. Janis is the best! She is awsome!

  • i love it......

  • what a shit....that is a blue

    JANIS=SHIT

  • she is so missed!

  • i love her

  • Cool, me and Janis Joplin have the same birthday. I turned 15, and she would have been 66. Anyways, this is a cool song, i like how she sings.

  • she's awesome :)

  • yes that is what everyone knows...what is ur point? does this make this song less art?

  • Janis open so many doors for todays rockers but none comes close to Janis!!... Janis is still the BEST!!

  • she only changed the gender...

  • Busted flat = she has no money!!!!! not a flat tire!

    If you can't catch a train, you find another way to travel, perhaps hitchhiking.

    and she said "nothin, it ain't/don't mean nothin hon, if it ain't free" she didn't mess up the lyrics!

  • yesterday I discovered this wonderfull singer!

    this on her Birthday!

    love her!

    Greetings from a 21-year-old-DJ

  • Happy Birthday, Janis! You would be 66 today. We miss you... oh so much. Thank you for everything you did. You changed my life, as well as countless others. If you're a fan of Janis, just remember her especially on this day. Look up at the sky and thank her, light a candle in her memory, or anything else. Just make sure she knows she hasn't been, and never will be, forgotten. Love, Jade.

  • i love the song, and she rocked. the best die young doesn't it seem. the music we have today isn't nearly as good as in the 60s and 70s. :O)

  • yeah!

  • i love this song

  • Kris Kristoferson deseves alot of credit!! He wrote this opus for her!

  • he actually wrote it in 1969 for roger miller. gordon lightfoot covered it in 1969 janis covered it in 1970.

  • i wanna cry god is good

  • A TALENT we may never see again...

  • "Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose"

    I guess she`s right

  • yes

  • I LOVE THIS CHICK! The best music of all time in my opinion SHE IS # 1 IN MY BOOK!!!!!

  • her voice will never die!!!!

  • mabee not but the stupid bitch sure did !!!!

  • in een woord fantastisch!!!

  • I love her..watch Pink to this very nice

  • Janis Joplin is one of the best singers ever.

  • I was around back then and i can tell you that Janis was the real deal. Her music was hers and she was kind enough to share it with us. I miss her greatly.

  • today was my first experience with janis joplin...i think i have fallin in love!

  • I watch this with tears in my eyes. I was born in 1979 after she was already gone. I can't even imagine the magic of being around her would be like. Her voice strikes a chord in my soul like nothing else. The music I was raised on through my childhood and teens is missing something very big compared to this. This is what music truly is! Such conviction, soul, and love of music. Makes me sad to see it's a business. R.I.P. Janis <3

  • There never has been nor there never will be a Janis Joplin ! She was the best of the best !!!!

  • OH my gosh doesn't she have the best voice?! I mean it's so original!

  • de maisssssssssssssssssssssssssss­sssss

  • janis jest niepokonana.ZAWSZE

  • janis joplin sucks she is an axle rose wannabee there both whiny bitces with a raspy voices who don't sound good without a good band behind them

  • your entitled to your opinion, but your opinion sux :)

  • You don't like her then don't listen to her. Bet she sings a hell of a lot better then you do.

  • take that back!

  • Wow!! Janis Joplin, awesome #1

  • nice job cheers from nj USA

  • I heard this song in dick's sporting goods yeserday.

  • I remember when my "hippie" aunt Joyce gave me a record for my birthday, I think I was 7, maybe 8 -- it was Janis Joplin's Me & Bobby McGee - WOW, now that's a birthday present!

  • Miss you!!!All the great ones leave us too soon!!Jimi,Elvis!!!Bye!!

  • i love you, janis.. rest in peace..

  • great video/ great song, love me some Janis!!!

  • When your grandchildren want to know what a hippie was point them towards this song sung by Janis Joplin. This best defines the true hippie. One in relentless pursuit of the good,the beautiful, the true. All else was window dressing.

  • this is a great song i performed it with some people at the local blues festival wish i got a video

  • Great video! Janis rules!
