ME AND BOBBY McGEE:
"Me and Bobby McGee" is a song written by Kris Kristofferson and Fred Foster, originally performed by Roger Miller, but best remembered for Janis Joplin's cover of the song, recorded a few days before her death in October 1970.
In the original version of the song, Bobby is a woman; Janis Joplin, who was a lover and a friend of Kristofferson's from the beginning of her career to her death, changed the gender and a few of the lyrics in her cover. It was the last song she recorded before her untimely death. Kristofferson states he did not write this song for her, but the song is associated with her. Especially, he has said, in the line, "Somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away."
Jerry Lee recorded it in 1971, and it was the flip side of "Would You Take Another Chance on Me".

"The Killer" could do this song (as well as others) five different ways to Sunday...his band was never quite sure where he was going and for how long he would play...a sometimes out of control entertainer....what a joy to see him live.
