Best version in my opinion - amazing!

This should either inspire one to learn how to sing or give it up completely!!! Holy cow... goosebumps.

This is what you call pure, raw soul. You cannot buy it, you can try to imitate it, but you will never sound like the real thing, you have to be born with it. The best version of this song. Thank you Irma, we will always love you.

"Piece of My Heart" was written by Bert Berns and was released on his record label Shout in 1967. Berns also wrote "Cry Baby" for Garnet Mimms in 1963 and "Cry To Me" for Solomon Burke. His most famous composition is "Twist and Shout" originally recorded in 1961 by the Top Notes, produced by Phil Spector. Berns also wrote "I Want Candy", "Tell Him", "A Little Bit of Soap", "Here Comes the Night", and "Hang on Sloopy". Berns produced "Twist and Shout" for The Isley Brothers in 1962.

I respect Janis Joplin for having the taste to sing covers on soulful songs like this and 'Cry Baby' (Garnet Mimms), but there's something wrong when the original artists on both songs don't come up on the first 10 pages of a YouTube search for these titles. Sorry, but how can you compare Janis' screeching to the powerful yet sweet vocals of this Franklin sister?

@BradAdonis The cover by that lady is pretty good, but Erma's original is the bomb diggity!

I don't know why I have noticed that I had not heard Erma singing this song like this!! Jeeeezzz!! She is singing her tale off!! I must be such a big fan of Aretha's that I just never stopped to catch up with Erma's and Carolyn's catalogs of songs. I have some listening to do if this is an indication of what I have to look forward to!!! It just goes to show you that the industry was just not ready for two or three amazing Franklin sisters!!
