It's easy to see how much Janis Joplin was influenced by Bessie, on this recording especially.

The funny thing is, although Janis Joplin and Bessie Smith both died too young, their music still lives on, to this day unparallelled.

I'm fourteen, and I love this stuff. I have hope that the rest of my generation will see the light.

to Ignus2 the "roots of rock" can not be found on the INterNET it happens in the hearts and hands of people who live it.
