The best female singer of all time. Every single time I listen to her voice I just can’t believe it’s even possible.

That woman sang with her whole soul. You can hear her pain. Love her

For every song she sang, there was no before or after, only the moment, and the song she was singing. She is incredible.

She can out-sax a saxophone. It’s not a voice, it’s an event. Amazing Janis, simply unsurpassed since.

Nobody ever sang like this girl was lucky enough to have seen her live :) Still makes an old man smile

"Like most girls I’m always really self-conscious about do I look fat, if my legs are short, if I’m weird shaped, but when I go on stage, man, it never occurs to me, I think I look beautiful. " Janis Joplin

I never get tired of watching this. She is one in a million.

Janis sings with her soul, heart, mind, whole body. She is all feeling and that's what great music is about👏❤️👌👏❤️💖❤️

There will never be another like her. Almost 45 years gone now. I was just out of high school when she died. So sad.

It has been 48 years!! since this was recorded.The fact we are watching this video, with now almost 10 Million views, speaks to the greatest of Janis.

The only woman that ever made me cry. Thank you so much for the music and for making the world a little brighter Janis. R.I.P. ❤

I absolutely love this! Janis was born way before her time, and died way too soon.

Janis always said she wanted to make music that seemed "real" to the listener. I think she succeeded.

I saw Janis on July 7, 1970 at the Civic Auditorium in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The ticket was a gift from my Mother on my 15th birthday. The show was then, and still is to this day one of the big thrills of my life. My Mother worked at the Holiday Inn where Janis was staying, and brought me her autograph. I asked her how she knew it was her...she told me, " I guessed by the way she was dressed, and all of the people with her, that she was somebody important." Janis was dead three months later. A bright and shining star that burned out too soon. RIP , Pearl....

Thanks for the music, Janis aka; Pearl. We are still listening, you may be gone, but your music will live on. R.I.P.

The best female singer of all time! Love her beautiful soul!

She is the epitome of what is missing in today's music. Singing from the heart and pouring out your soul and meaning every word in a song. Anyone can sing, but not everyone can be a singer.......Rest In Peace Janis!

Janis' voice is SO satisfying - I never get sick of her singing, even after the past 40 years.

Thank you Barry, Robin, and Maurice, for writing such a beautiful song, recorded by many talented artists, including yourselves. I've been listening to every artist that ever recorded this song so thanks to all the individuals posting these videos

Unlike many singers, she feeeeeeels the music and words. She doesn't just sing. You can feel the pain from the depths of her soul.

The Bee Gees were icons and wrote fantastic songs. And they were absolutely amazing on stage. And Janis takes one of their best songs and gives it more than justice - by doing it her way. Brilliant!!!

No one will ever come close to the talents of the great Janis Joplin. She was taken from this world far too soon. I wish I had been older in the 1960's , I would have given anything to have had the privilege of seeing her live. Her talent, guts and passion will be remembered forever. She opened so many doors for lead female vocalists. She is an extraordinary talent. She can never be forgotten or replaced. She is, and will continue to be a great inspiration. I love you Janis

She was a tortured soul all her life and that's what made her the best ever. There will never be another like her. R.i.p Janis Joplin

Numca en mi vida vi cantar asi a nadie, me quito el sombrero, eres una ,⭐

My god what a voice! That woman could reach deep down in your soul and grab whatever has got you down and throw it at you in a giant ball of energy...she's been gone for 45 years now...let that sink in...HALF A CENTURY...and I swear to god the hair on my neck still stands on end when I hear that amazing woman belt out a tune. Dear beautiful Pearl...you left us way too soon but your music will live on forever.

When she hits that note at 0:52 no matter where I am or what I am doing, chills run down my spine. She is a legend, I so wish I could've seen her live. I would pay anything. RIP Pearl

What Janis makes out of that song, leaves me speechless ! Simply breathtaking. Through her voice she will live on forever !

Those close ups of Janis are so special. The eyes, the light in her eyes

Her voice,tone just her gives me goosebumps everytime....soul food x

This performance makes me cry. She just gives justice to every emotion in the song.

I am 55 y old, and I can say she was leaving and singing in other dimension we cannot apreciate now. Futures generation will feel waht she did.

The only and one Jans Joplin. What a souful awesome voice.

The heart and soul Janis put into her music is just incredible, I was lucky enough to see her live in Concert in Jan..'70. It broke my heart the day she died at such a young age, she had so much more to give.

This lady could sing the phone book and I would listen in rapture.

The female singers of the 60’s were a special breed. Janis was one of my favorite along with a totally different style artist, Cass Elliot of The Mamas & The Papas. Both of these ladies broke the mold that society expected of them. Both were artist with great voices, who left us us all too soon. Check out the You Tube recording of Janis singing Ball & Chain at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festive where Janis made her debut. Cass was sitting in the audience watching the performance and you can tell from her response that she too was blown away. Cass went on to close the festival with the Mamas & Papas singing Dancing in the Street. So glad we have those remarkable performances.

I had never heard this, I almost started to cry, unbelievable what a star!

Wow - pure Janis. Hard to believe its been 47 years since seeing you.

She still gives me goosebumps. What a fucking star. A real one.

Как же она поёт!!!!!! Это просто чудо!!!!!! Можно слушать бесконечно!!!!!!

That voice! the lyrics! the feeling!!! I wish I could've seen her live

Wow, she had a very unique voice. I was too young to ever follow Janis Joplin. It's a shame that she died at the age of 27 years old.

...the BEST woman EVER to grace a microphone. i have all of her albums and i fall in love with her voice all over again every time i play them. JANIS FOREVER. the grave can't even conceal the power in her voice. DAISUKI DESU!

After all these years I am still stunned by this amazing Texas lady. That voice was a gift from God. You left this world way too soon. Sleep in heavenly peace.

What an incredible performance! I saw JJ live in 1969 and she was amazing. This may be the best I've ever heard JJ sound. The song, the band and that voice. Wow!

That performance was absolutely stunning! What a legend!

Her soul and emotion is intense! Shes so beautiful

been a die-hard janis fan for going on five years now. this song gets me every time. thank you for all the music janis❤️❤️

She always sing with so much soul in her singing. She will always be one of the great one. Standing ovation for her every time.

Pure raw talent! So sad in this time of age there's no such thing like it no more.

her passion spills like a seed, that brings life into the world, lovely

I'm watching this RN because of what Courtney gets her compliment from the judges. She really is worthy of that golden buzzer!

That Is By far The greatest Version I ever Heard of this Song. Such Voice as Janis Soul Will Not Even find in our present Time. Thanx a lot for sharing!

where has talent gone? today people run through so much digi crap ... this girl just sang. Thank you

when a song just blows you away.....

From a Bee Gees pop song to a rock blues great song. Janis made her own great work!

Lucky enough to have seen Janis in Aug/69. Little Richard was on the same bill later in the evening and called Janis up to perform with him.

Today we remember Janis Joplin born on this day, 1943. Legend. #janisjoplin

One of the only singers to bring tears to my eyes everytime I hear her sing.you are dearly missed!!!!

I know she is a legend, but why does she not get more recognition? The feeling she has in her songs will still be admired in 2286 (if we are still around by then). Awesome!

I miss Janis. She was the voice of a generation, my generation. I grew up listening to Janis and watching her on numerous TV talk shows, but the highlight was at Woodstock. Man, what a time to be young and alive. Now all I have are my memories and old age is creeping in fast.

WOW! Her voice and emotional performance brought tears into my eyes...

Janis is QUEEN. My all-time favorite singer.

I first learned about Janis Joplin when I saw the documentary Little Girl Blue. she changed me and I've never heard anything like it, and when she sings it rips into my soul in a way that lets out all my frustration without saying a Word! She was one of the first greats to inspire other artists in a world that was not ready for change! She is and will forever be my favorite

Grew up to this being one my moms' favorite, on the record player, and I love her music too.

The quintessential flower child. She has one of the greatest voices in music history!

Most perfect vocal resonance ever. Never ever another Janis. Pearl. Juniper. 💜 We love you!

Wow😳🌹Long live her music.☕️No one ever going to take her style.Thanks for bring back great music.

Te amo janis. Desde que te escuché por primera vez, no pude dejar de hacerlo luego. Sos única en voz y en interpretación. Te entregabas en cada canción, mujer!! Que perdida tan grande habrás sido... tanto talento y sentimientos que dar

The one and only Janis J....one of a kind Greetings from IRELAND 😉 salamat for the memories we love you. ....

Maravilha!!! Inesquecível Janis joplin ❤️

Every time I watch this I get goosebumps. It's so mesmerising. Why aren't there any contemporary singers like this?? I wish auto-tune never existed.

I wish I could have met her and gave her the love she deserved so much. There will never be another blues woman like her. Ever.....

Belíssima interpretação e vocal e arte pura de cantar. É para emocionar e não esquecer nunca.

My God...what a flawless voice, just amazing. RIP Janis! You're the best!

For me, this is one of the greatest ever rock vocal performances!

She always gave it her all in her performances.

My Dad thought that she was an amazing talent that went too soon. He said that a lot of people went before their time in the 60's. We are seeing a repeat of that in today's society. It's sad.

This is such an awesome and cool song,with Janis Joplin singing it. She gives it a lot of heart and soul. I just get goose bumps when I hear her, and watching her sing this great classic song. R.I.P. Janis Joplin

One of her biggest hits, Piece of My Heart. She took a piece of our hearts the day she died.

Incredible! There will never be another Janis! ❣️💛💛💛💛💛💛 She must have been so exhausted after even one song. She gave like 200% of herself to every performance.

I know I'm going to have a bunch of dislikes but... for me she'll always be the biggest female musician of all time !!! The Queen of Music!! And I don't think someone will ever going to past her mark...So... I wish you all a nice and beautiful day :D

One of the greatest singers of all time

Almost 2020. See kids this is what real true talent is. To sing from your gut with compassion and soul. Janis gave it her all. And Her all was loved by the world

Omg were did she come from such soul in that voice it can only mean she had struggles she sings from pain and it's so real i wish i was alive to have seen her

my God this is singing. I'm 90's kid and I can say this is music not today's crap.

There will never be another Janis! She is and will forever be the epidome of soul.

Her voice and the performance are amazing!

Oh my Lord, Jesus Christ. Got major chills watching this. Janis really sings her heart out. Rest in Music Heaven, sweet lady!.

I cant help it, when I hear her voice I cry, but in the very best way.

Ms Joplin...a performance conceived in pain and chemical haze....baring an all consuming inner soul....dark....troubled....destructive....and yet mesmerising and beautiful!

Those of ur blessed enough to grow up listening to Joplin, just so sorry for the kids born after 60s & 70s. They don't know good music.

Janice was a natural women and she laid her soul bare. She never appreciated the beauty she naturally had. 51 years today and she is still the “Pearl” and has never been forgotten!

Unique she was a unique style I love her singing went to her last concert in Seattle Washington

Janis took a BIG part of my heart! She lives forever.

She pulled her sadness from way down deep and delivered it to us in goodness. How Amazing You Will Always Be, Janis Joplin.

God her voice gives me chills, I really wish I could've been alive to witness her 😭😭😭

En mis 25 años no eh encontrado a nadie que cante con esa intensidad y pasion

this song brings me back to happy times when i met my first hubby and we were sooo happy...now it makes me cry.....

I dont think anyone could ever do this song as good as she did her music can really get to you & make you realise stuff a woman with a loud & soulful voice ! Xoxo much love and respect to you Janis

Im amazed that with all the comments on here nobody knows that this song is originally written and performed by the Bee Gees. Its my all time fav bee gees songs. Blown away by her rendition of it. So much grit and soul. Shes so amazing.
