  • That's probably because until you showed up, there were no negative comments. Evidently you saw my channel and some of my other vids, and decided to bring your sorry troll ass over here and say something disrespectful.

  • janis joplin didnt sing this song, didnt she?

  • no,the song is sung by Bette Midler,it's the theme to the movie "The Rose",which is based on the life of Janis Joplin...GREAT movie,a must-see!bring your kleenex!

  • Wow, finally a real tribute...Amanda McBroom wrote this song for Pearl...But JJ'sfamily refused permission to use that name. Lucky for her. “Pearl” was MUCH harder to rhyme.Thank you from the bottom of my heart...And Janis will be forever "a piece of my heart"...

    Some say love, it is a river

    That drowns the tender reed

    Some say love, it is a razor

    That leaves your soul to bleed

    Some say love, it is a hunger

    An endless aching need

    I say love, it is a flower

    And you, its only seed...

see all

  • @Wellch Unfortunately, that's true.

  • @DaveWollenberg ---Some of them do smoke...and just because she grew up in one did not meant that she stayed in one.

  • @Wellch If Janis grew up in a religious home, why would she take up cigarettes?

  • Bette hit #3 in Billboard, 6-28-80. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Shalom, Divine Miss M! Have a blessed week!

  • Listened to this song over the years...many, many years...and I'm still crying by the end of the first verse!

  • @joepall323 What a maroon. Another know it all (that doesn't KNOW anything). You suffer from a fairly common mental illness. You are very vocal and think you are SO smart while the rest of us are SO dumb. You're like a child. Your anger must come from some past hurt that has manifested itself to focus on a goofy conservative "sense of loss" and nostalgia for a romanticized yesteryear (likely your sheltered childhood). Sad little man. The world has turned and left you behind.

  • A great tribute. Well done

  • Janis Joplin did grow up in a religious home. Not everyone knew that.

  • thank you bet middler for the most amazing song I have ever heard... Janice The world lost a great performer who had a lot to say

  • Excellent video and tribute to the late great Miss Joplin. She left us too soon.
