She is a member of The 27 Club. It’s a very long list of talented people that died at the young age of 27. RIP Janis. 🙏🏼

You should seriously get on the radio, with that voice.

No one and I mean no one, man or woman can come close to her greatness. That goes for today's singers also. Janis' heart and soul lives in every song she sings.

I am so glad I saw Janis live in Aug. 1969, at the Dallas Int'l Pop Festival. No one like her since. Much love, Janis. RIP.

Best female vocalist to ever grace this planet !

The performance that started it all for her & Jimi Hendrix,, Janis Joplin "Ball And Chain" Live at the Monterrey Pop Festival..TRUST ME!!

She was bullied almost her whole life through. That was one of the reasons that she became addicted to heroine which killed her in the end but she was a very good person that deserved so much better. Please do more reactions of hers

Congratulations young man you have turned the lights on in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, your life will never be the same....LOL

Janis Joplin is pure soul in human form. You have got to check out her "Get It While You Can", "Work Me Lord", "Summertime", "Ball and Chain", "Me and Bobby McGee", "Little Girl Blue", and "A Woman Left Lonely"...just to name a few of her great songs. A lot of her songs are live too and are just as good, if not better, than her studio versions. I'm subscribing because of this reaction. I want to see your journey on discovering Janis lol If Janis were still alive, she'd be 80 now. Her birthday is January 19. Same as my brother and my friend.

The one and only. She’s the real deal

So blessed to have enjoyed her music - up close and what a great woman! No diva in her. So sad to lose her but hey! Monterey Pop “Ball And Chain”. Gotta do it man you won’t regret it.

That is Janis. Some of us were blessed to see her perform. Died way to soon.

I ‘ve loved Miss Janis since 1967 when I was a teen. Discovered her through the Monterey Pop Festival in California, where she made her mark in music history! Jimi Hendrix was another artist discovered at this festival & 2 yrs later both performed at Woodstock ❤️‍🔥☮️ sadly both died at age 27 so young & unfortunately because of heavy drugs. Jim Morrison of The Doors also died @27 yrs of heart failure. These three stars are often known as The 27 yr Club 😢☮️

wow, really cool that you were plainly touched by her spirit and experience. Texas, then as now, is hard on those who don't fit in. she was voted the ugliest man at school...which gives you an idea of what she had to live with, and then got the hell out as soon as possible. so no wonder she got caught up in the rock n roll, must have been like a fantastic new life after the hell of her teen years. OTOH, that Texan hell gave her plenty to sing about.

Me and Bobby McGee is another good one by Janis. I was lucky to have older sibling that exposed me to so many legends. It was an awesome time to grow up.

I LOVE YOU JANIS !

That is definitely Janis. What a singer, she has so much soul. Thank you.

Souls don't have colour ❤

Turn up the audio for the singer, please! I’ve seen her live twice- you’re gonna love her! Live from the Monterey Pop Festival - Ball and Chain. She worshipped the blues and soul goddesses and gods like Otis Redding, Tina Turner, Nina Simone, Aretha , Bessie Smith. She bought Bessie a new headstone after she visited her grave. ❤😊

I feel the same as you do...as much as I LOVE listening to her and watching her live performances, it's hard sometimes, knowing she isn't around anymore and left us way too soon! And knowing some of the cruel things she had to deal with in her life.... But, just the same, I try not to think about it too much and just appreciate what we do have from her. She is one of my all-time favorites and puts so much heart and soul into her songs! I loved your reaction and hope you consider doing more of Janis...some suggestions: live videos of, Cry Baby (Festival Express), Ball and Chain (Monterey Pop Festival), Maybe (The Music Scene), Work Me Lord (Stockholm), Get it While You Can...Try...and Move Over (Dick Cavett Show). Thank you!

Had a fun time watching this. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻

Hey guys make sure you turn your volume up!!! These rock songs are kicking my butt with claims so I had to lower the volume. If I need to do this again I'll post the same with normal noise levels on Vimeo. It's Free to watch no sign in require!!!!

RIP Janis

Man she amazing ❤

She gave so much in just a 3 year span!!! She came on the scene in 1967 and OD'd in 1970! Hey...so you know....I can hardly hear the music at all!

You should listen to Summertime, Cry Baby, Ball and Chain live from Monterey Pop Festival. She died at age 27 from a heroine overdose October 4, 1970, she unfortunately is a member of the 27 club. Her 1964 Porsche 356 C Cabriolet. In December 2015 her Porsche sold for 1.76 million. They say it still drives like a dream today.

That's Rock and Roll......

She played guitar better than anyone in her bands. She was quite amazing.

Watch her Live at Woodstock ❤😂🎉

Turn the volume UP!!!!!!!!!

Yes ... that IS Janis pictured in the video ... and yes ... she is no longer with us. She passed away from a heroin OD at 27. Janis, Jimi Hendrix (alcohol asphyxiation) and Jim Morrison (heart failure while in Paris with his girlfriend) are known and commonly referred to as the #27 Club trio. 50 years later .. that wound to their adoring fans heart seems just as painful now as it did then when the news broke of their of their passing.

Maybe is a great song . She is part of the 27 club. She passed away not long after Jimi Hendrix.

She died at 27 in 1970. Listen to everything she did. Other great women: Nina Simone great jazz pianist whose most famous piece is her protest song Mississippi Goddamn. Edith Piaf (try Je ne regrette rien). Ella Fitzgerald the greatest jazz singer of all time Alberta Hunter for blues Billie Holliday for blues Grace Slick with Jefferson Airplane White Rabbit based on Alice in Wonderland is the great psychedelic rock anthem. Joni Mitchell unique and moving. Also do John Prine. Start with his song Sam Stone.

You Need to hear Raise You're Hands by Then m Jones and Janis Joplin. PROMISE you'll love it!

💙💙💙

Jimi Hendrix died September 18, 1970 and Janis Joplin died October 4, 1970, just 16 days later. Both were 27 years old when they died.

i had to say this on this video: shinee is back and you should listen to it. the song is called hard!

Yes, we’re very sure that’s her. And yes, she passed in 1970 at 27 years old.

you should see her in a liver performance, check out: Cry Baby. More personality and stage precence than anyone

It’s unfortunate we lost her so soon, as well as Jimmy Hendrix. Both died at 27 from drugs.😢

That was her car. She died a long time ago from a heroin overdose Watch the movie “ the rose “ that was her life story

You should really watch her PERFORM this.

Man gotta watch her live eg Cry Baby, Try just a little bit harder, Maybe, Get It While You Can

Janis Joplin died at a very young age. She was big time into drugs like most rock n' rollers were in the 60's and 70's.

No other white girl could sing like Janis. She's from my age. She's part of the 27 club.

You need to lay off the smoke bro .JK lol

Fun fact: This song was originally recorded by Erma Franklin, Aretha’s sister.

I can not hear the song. Sounds like a whisper and no problem on my end since I can hear you well.

The volume of the video was way way too low!

Sorry Tom Jones

Can't hear it...

You need Cry babynext

Cry Baby, listen to that next. She was a 27. So sad she is not here.

Skipping parts of the song is an immediate dislike from me. Pauses are fine but don’t skip the music. Reactions are about seeing you react to our favorite music more than hearing your thoughts about it. Just sayin.
