Happy birthday, Janis Joplin!; Me & Bobby McGee

This is a video I made as a tribute to the one and only Janis Joplin. She is an angel, and I don't just mean in literal terms. Her contributions to the world could never be measured, and even 38 years after her tragic death, she continues to touch lives. If you do not know much about her, I would strongly suggest doing some reading, because this woman was amazing. The best biographies I would recommend are "Love, Janis" by her sister, Laura Joplin, and "Scars of Sweet Paradise" by Alice Echols.
Janis:
I may not have even been alive at the same time as you, but I do love you, along with countless others. Rest in Peace, love.
January 19th, 1943 -
October 4th, 1970.

Thank you so very much XtinaxFan! I thought the last picture fit well... she looks like an angel in it, and it's the end of the video, metaphorically the end of her life. And man, same to you in the fact that thanks to people like you she will never be forgotten!

I think the best pic of the vid is in the end..she looks pretty content and somehow i see some glow on her on that pic(By the way,I think i saw you on Official Janis forum,i'm also a member there) Janis's music makes the world go round,yeah!

I used to sing this for my sis when I was a lil girl. ...well...13 or 14 or somethin. My sister always understood and encouraged anything I did that was free and fun and musical. Anything. And now that Im older- I still play guitar and sing at times ....but only if my sis asks me to hehe. She truly understands. Love ya sis. And thanks so much Perry for remembering Janis with this nice video. Lovely. Peace & blessings. x

The first time I heard Janis, I knew then, what real heart and soul in music was! That was in 1966, I have been in love with her music since. Getting to see her live, was the hilite of my musical life!!!!
