watch AMANDA OVERMYER, American Idol Finalist season 7, also sing this same song PIECE OF MY HEART at all her concerts while on tour promoting her new album SOLIDIFY (itunes). You can see Overmyer's version also posted over YOUTUBE ...
ESA MUJER ERA UNICA... LASTIMA QUE EXISTEN LAS MALAS COMPAÑIAS.... Y A CAUSA DE ELLAS .... ELLA SE CONVIRTIO EN LEYENDA.... YEAH.... JANIS.... FOREVER....
I love how this song evolved, BBHC's was slower & as Janis moved on to other bands the song sped up as if it were trying to mimick her life. Slower, then faster & faster & then one day its gone. You can't hold on to a shooting star anywhere but in your mind. Pearl, you are missed child.
Those were the days when all that mattered is the music. Who cares what they looked like? That is the point. No one cared back then. We only cared about the music.
But he was SO TALENTED! When Janis came into town...no one practiced. She was there. Within a hour...the band and bands better be prepared to jive with her...without rehearsals. It was always a last minute walkout...without rehearsals. It was go on stage and try to BLEND in. You shoud try it some x. & how would u do. It is so easy to complain & to critizise. It would be another 20 yrs before she would surprise them again...rite?
This is the first rock and roll album I ever bought and I am still trying to recover. 16 years old and trying to define myself this song literally rocked my world. Thank you Janis for sharing with us your pain, sorrow, and tears. You will always be the.... Queen!
What's sad is that, I'm 17 and when I say to my friends "Blah blah Janis Joplin" they say "Who". How can the world forget someone so amazing and powerful
its because everything has to wrapped in a pretty little package. Its about the look, not the substance. Yeah its sad. I blame the record companies, mtv, and american idol, and anyone who supports that music-destroying show.
It's also because Janis was the very first woman to be a rock superstar. She was openly criticized for living like her male counterparts. She was sexually permiscuous, she had a drug habit that eventually killed her, & she was a difficult person to be around. Because of these things, she was left out of many DJ playlists on the radio, she was never given her due, even though she was such a pioneer. Every rose has thorns, never were the male stars looked at like she was. She deserved much more.
according to wikipedia (maybe not the best source, but its the best i got on the comp), the song was written by Jerry Ragovoy and Bert Berns and first performed by Erma Franklin... so my bet is that erma franklin didnt write it
Janis was to much, loved her anyway. She was so different from anyone else during that time. Any Janis fan, must have Pearl in their music collection. Rolling Stone Magazine in 2003, listed it as on of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
JANIS....SIMPLEMENTE PERFECTA!!! SIGUE CANTANDO DONDE ESTES PRECIOSA, ACA TE SEGUIMOS ESCUCHANDO......TODOS QUIENES AMAMOS LA MUSICA TE QUEREMOS
