This song was written by Barry and Robin Gibb, this song was originally released two years prior as a single for their band, the Bee Gees. When interviewed in 2017, Barry Gibb said this was his favorite of all the songs he had written.

Janis had a voice like no one's business. God I loved her and still love her n her music.

The old adage "the one and only" fits Janis Joplin to a tee. There is NOBODY that sings like she does. 💯🙏🙌✌️

A song written by the Bee Gees for Otis Redding who passed before he could record it, recorded by another soul singer, then taken by janice for her OWN interpretation

Janis Joplin's voice is literally like liquid gold she exudes the sultry experience

Janis Joplin was one of a kind NO other female singer can come close to that voice and emotion she sang with. Suggestion Janis Joplin- Maybe and Down on Me.

My older sister was a trained operatic soprano. She said Janis' voice was like "gravel in a galvanized bucket... and perfect " ... she loved Janis Joplin.

Best female singer ever for my money, there will never be another Janis.

Janis was 100% REAL.. ALWAYS!!! NO ONE can come Close to That Emotion, that she sang with!!! xoxoxo

I remember years ago the CBC Radio (up north) posed the question: "Did Janis Joplin have a good voice?" I immediately called in and was picked up, I said: "Whether or not she had a good voice seems almost pointless to ask. The fact is that this women bled for us on every song she ever sang and gave us her all. She is a legend for that."

She did this Bee Gee's Song her own spin and hit it out of the park!

This woman sang from her soul. Her passion is par none and it's so sad she never found the love that she so desperately craved.

Oh sweet soul in my ears. I just recovered from a coma after that Yes video. Janis Joplin is a goddess.

Saw her live once. Unforgettable!!!

Janis was a BAAAAADDDD Sista!!!!! Imagine her and Chris Stapleton singing a duet!! Sending love from Portland, Oregon!!!!

Janis seriously wore her soul like a blanket trying to protect her from pain, hurt, anger, & even love! This woman was one of a kind, & sadly missed by everyone who loved & understood her music ❤️ 💚 💙 She truly was a gift that was only with us for a short time, but what a glorious time it was!!! Thank you both, for such a thoughtful reaction ❤️ 💚 💙

This song was written by The Bee Gees for the legendary Otis Redding to record, but he passed away shortly after. The Bee Gees recorded their own version instead.

Sometimes I swear Janis was Possessed by a Fire Brimstone Preacher from Deep in The South....

Every thing I've ever seen Janis do has been incredible.So much soul! Yes this is a cover of the Bee Gees song.

I am all for as many people as possible knowing the wonder and beauty that is Janis Joplin's singing. Keep bringing that classic music to the KZfaq!!

She sang with all her heart and soul and held nothing back.

Normally I like to watch reaction videos to songs/performances I already know. This version is new to me and I am very happy to listen to it for the first time here. Great!

She’s been my hero since I was 8 years old. When I get the feelin’ and have my guitar, I get my Joplin on. Oooooooooo yeah!

Now I'm _begging_ you; please take a few and listen to Janis sing "Little Girl Blue" on the Tom Jones Show. She'll break your heart just like she broke ours.

My older sister was lucky enough to see Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix perform. She introduced me to rock music as well and we spent our weekends going to concerts in the early 70’s. I’ve been fortunate to see about every band from that era. Nothing beats a live performance those bands gave their all on stage.

Bee Gees were among the greatest songwriters 🙏

I see that the brothers Gibb are given the writing credits!!!! But Joplin had one of the most amazing voices ever!!!! So much power with expression!!!

She was amazing. “Maybe” is another great song to check out!

Omg I've listened to Janis thousands of times and she blows me away every damn time.

There's just no words to describe Janis! She's incomparable and it hurts me that she's been gone since before I was born.

"I met a girl who sang the blues, and I asked her for some happy news, but she just turned and walked away." Don McLean in "American Pie" Still miss you, Janis. The first thing I'll do when I get to heaven is see Janis Joplin in concert.

Man, you should consider "I'd rather go blind" by Etta James (Live 1975)

This women changes your DNA.I raised my kids with Janis Joplin,Jimi Hendrix,Stevie Ray Vaughan,Joe Satriani,Emerson Lake and Palmer and many more and they all turned out well balanced kids with degrees and diplomas.Thank you guys. Thanx brother Jamel for a good,informative show.I love what you are doing introducing good old music to the younger generation,keep it up.

I remember reading the only time in her life she was happy was when she was making music. I hope she is some where now enjoying all the people's lives she touched.

Just the fact you're covering Lady Joplin makes me love you more, Jamal, and I didn't think that was possible (hahaha)!

Jamel_AKA_Jamal, I want to thank you. Almost 2 years ago, I found out I had lung cancer. I ended up having a lung removed, I had a major infection from the surgery, then chemo and radiation. I found comfort and joy listening to classic songs from my era, and your joyful reactions. While I don't know you, this old white dude loves you brother. Thanks.

R.I.P. Janis, such a soulful, gritty, unique voice/sound. Amazing. No auto tune back in my day, its Raw and so much better. Love it. Blessings and Peace

I saw janis in concert..amazing singer. No one can compare to her vocal. I still get chills listening to her sing. Listen to Maybe..

I was 11 yrs old when I 1st saw her on TV live in 68. Growing up in this Era was... well, indescribable to say the least. #blessed

Janis was one of a kind. If her music doesn’t give you chills, somethings wrong! Another great artist & song choice.

Ive always loved this song whether The Bee Gees did it (original) or Janis did it (cover). She either did this on the Tom Jones’ show or Dick Cavett’s...I can’t remember! She always said her voice was thanks to Whiskey 😂 She was precious!

Her voice was so gritty and soulful and beautiful. Truly one of a kind.

The Flying Burrito Brothers did a fine version as well.

She had so mush sole for a young lady! A one of a kind! Special man just special!!

you just know her songs were different every time she sang them, and they were all excellent!! this is a cover of to love somebody originally by the Bee Gees. They wrote it and put it out on their debut album in 1967. Janis did her cover in 1969.

I just watched your video on The Buggles’ “Video Killed the Radio Star”. How prophetic it turned out to be. Nothing about her performance here would be famous today: her hair, costumes, choreography...and that is sad because look at the voice we would have missed. Appearance today is often seemed as more important than talent. (Can this person’s look sell records?) She was just beautifully stripped down raw talent. Miss her.

To Love Somebody, by Robin Gibb of The Bee Gees. Janis was one of a kind. There are too many talented people all over the world whether well known or not, who have lost their lives to accidents or from not loving themselves enough to keep on trying. Such a sad loss for everyone. Great reaction, Jamel! Keep up the great work!

Janis never had a band that was as good as she was, especially these guys, bless their hearts.

It's a cover, as many have mentioned. But she sang covers in her inimitable style with so much heart and soul it would be easy to think they were written just for her, if you didn't already know it was a cover!

Check out her first Hit with Big Brother and The Holding Company, Down on Me

My favorite female singer of all time, I wish I could have seen her live, great music back then

This is an early Bee Gees song, covered by many other artists. They originally wanted to give it to Otis Redding to record, but he died before he was able to do it.

Janis Joplin was 5'6" 125lbs of pure sole. I was 15 years old when she passed. She was my first teen crush as far as entertainers. I actually wept when I heard the news of her passing.

I watched her perform live back in the day and you can feel the passion when she would sing!

Janis live was amazing! Had the privilege to see her at Woodstock, yeah the one in 1969.......my fist concert. Her voice just gripped my heart and soul. I identified with her songs then during a troubling time in my youth. Angst and all that. And then she was gone.

She gave so much emotion and feeling in her songs, i wish i could have seen her in concert but i was only 3 when she passed. RIP Janis.

A great bluesy rendition of the great Bee Gee’s song which you absolutely need to react to !

This is awesome, not ten mins ago Blue Rodeo's version of the song played on my super shuffle.

I never heard her do this one before. She put her own cool spin on my favorite Bee Gees song.

i just so love her voice. so much talent in that lil woman.RIP

I've never heard Janis do this cover!! Nobody brings it so raw, from the blood and bone, as this woman. Thanks for doing this one! Her opposite is Linda Rhonstadt with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra. She is smooth as satin and as polished as anything you ever heard. I'd love it if you would react to her.

One of my favorite Janis performances is a duet she did called 'Ego Rock' with Nick Gravenites of the group Electric Flag. It's amazing and funny too, unless you're from Texas.

This has got to be one of my favorite Janis songs.

Jamal, my man, dont forget to check out Janis's "Work Me Lord," holy moly, what a track!!!

Yup but an entirely different version the one you were singing to was the Bee Gees version

One of my personal idols as a teen way back then. She was cool in every way. And man that woman could sing like no other. Miss the very beautiful Janis Joplin. Her performance s on the Dick Cavett show were pretty great. You are thinking of the BeeGees song. Suggestion? The whole Got those old Kozmic Blues album.

This is the cover of the Bee Gees, their first album in 67.

Janis was the Queen of Blues N Rock Period!!!!!!!!!

She sang with a lot of passion ... bless her heart and RIP Janis

Pearl, from Port Arthur Texas, my mother knew her, she used to hang out with her in Beaumont Texas and some of the clubs that she played also in Southwest Louisiana. I have some really cool pictures of my mom and Janis Joplin together great memories.

I miss Janis. Imagine if Janis knew how much people loved her. She might still be here.

Bee Gees song written for Otis Redding. Written by the Gibb brothers.

She was so authentic and awesome....contemporary similar types can't even get to the organic level that Janis was....

THANK YOU FOR KEEPING GREAT MUSIC ALIVE. JANICE IS A GEM.

More love for the ladies!!! You need to check out anything from the late and amazing Sharon Jones with The Dap Kings. Soul soul soul!!⁸ I was lucky enough to see her live once in 2010 or 11 and it was the greatest musical performance I've ever experienced. Nonstop energy from beginning to end. Definitely in the Tina Aretha Janis department.

Yes Jamel, same song brother, and Thank You for all you do, such a class act you are. Ma brought her album home to me when I was 15. Janis Joplin, we're still lovin ya sweetie 😘 💕 💖

That voice gets up under your ribcage and tears at the ol heart‼️ Thanks for bringing this one back brother.

“Little girl blue” and “Maybe”

My goodness. This is fantastic. Never seen this performance before. Incredible

Than You such a beautiful soulful lady. "Maybe" Kozmic Blues""little girl blue" are a couple other songs by her, and of course "summertime"

All props to sistah Janis ! Rest in POWER!

I saw that on the other video you mentioned about your videos being blocked and that's a problem that many other Reacts have, they put the video on Google Drive and send the link to the KZfaq video and it works, which you can do is, and you put the link to the description! By the way, I loved your react about Zep and Jamis ! Keep going!♡

"Woman Left Lonely" is a great song by her and sadly doesn't get much recognition.

Janis Joplin was such an amazing singer. Gone before her time.

No one comes close to singing like her. I believe you are thinking of The Bee Gees that wrote and sang this song.

One of the greatest singer of Rock n' Roll....my Babe........Janis Joplin........Love her........Love her!!!!! She is legendary like Aretha!!!! Just Sensational!!!!!! And Adele is her grandchild.....Listen to Adele's "One and Only," and you will see the similarity. Listen to Adele's "One and Only" Adele sangs like she has swallowed an Old Black woman Blues singer!!!!

What a great version of this song. Janis knows how to bring the blues out of any song.

If you have 20 minutes free, I really highly recommend checking out a July 16th 1970 recording of Janis Joplin taking the stage with the Grateful Dead to perform Turn On Your Lovelight with Pigpen, the Dead's keyboardist at the time who had a relationship with her for a time. The sheer chemistry and energy on stage from them both and the band is amazing. I'll also say that the Grateful Dead song Bird Song is about Janis Joplin and the concert movie Festival Express features them and a few other bands on a train tour with some excellent footage and performances. Thanks for all your reactions!

Pearl 💘💘💘💘The voice of a generation ! 💖💖💖💖

You nailed it Jamel, NO GODAM AUTO TUNE. Real talent. Best Ever! "Work me Lord" Next please.

Janice Joplin. My very first concert and that was it! 🙏🏼

Janis my babe sing so sweet into my heart ❤️❤️💕💕❤️

Love Janis, shes the greatest. This is a cover, was written and sung by the Bee Gees in 1967

When I visited the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I checked out the Janice section. There was a sheet of acid with her face on it in there! Y'all, when I saw that, I lost it! lol

Sing it Sista Janis! LOVE!!!

Wow, I may actually be able to get my Hubby to listen to a Bee Gees song! This was incredible!

When I grew up I first knew this song with Michael Bolton’s version. This has been covered a lot - as I should since it is an amazing song.

Love you Janis, keep rockin' up there ❤

Thanks a lot! In my opinion, the best rendition ever .I believe Janis was the first one to cover this BG's song written in 1967 by Barry ( 21) and Robin (17 and a half) in 1967. The song was intented to be recorded by Otis who died before having the opportunity to do it.
