Janis was a heartbeat of her own. Nothing like her will ever exist again. Thank you for the video.

One more request, Jamal and I'll shut up. Try out her song Work Me Lord. Pure pain and stank-face! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lchodpOE0NvHXY0.html

Thanks Jamel!

I’m not giving up! Tom Jones’ “Delilah” is a must. No research. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZ5nnbqo39zblGw.html

God she was everything. Check the studio version of this because she really REALLY wails and it is next level. Also MERCEDES-BENZ, ME AND BOBBY MCGEE, and, MOVE OVER. Love ya man. You have been the soundtrack of our quarantine. 🖤❤💜

I met a girl who sang the blues....

@@kateeitel236 ...And she stole my heart away.

so true !

so true !

Right on!!! She is SOUL!

How cool! I wish I was alive back then, to see Janis Joplin when she was first discovered. To hear her for the first time, along with the rest of the world! We lost an amazing artist when we lost Pearl!!

Damn......I mean just.....damn

That's sooo cool! Did he say anything about being on stage like getting a picture with her shaking her hand or an autograph ?

First off, his service is appreciated. 2nd, WOW, What a life experience!

Wow did your father in law ever see this video?

She surely did. BIG TIME!!! RIP JANIS. You are forever in my memory as I was lucky enough to be a teenager when she made the scene.

And the jerks in college voted her “ Ugliest Man On Campus”.

Janis Joplin had issues, her way of dealing with them led to her success and her early death.

@Lori Hanks Yes, Sweet Janis was ridiculed, bullied and called names and I believe she was never accepted as she would have liked. This I think unfortunately drove her deeper into drugs. I know this to be true as I was also bullied and made fun of in school and uad a hard time making friends. So in the end I got in with the wrong crowd to gain acceptance I fell into the drug scene as well. Totally devistated my life. For 12 long years I was a cocaine addict. But waking up one morning just wanting only to die I made the decision to either get straight with myself or end it. I finally found my self worth which saved me. If only Janis could have seen that she was worth way more to the world than what her peers conceived her as then she would have made it. But after so long of being beat down it finally drops you down to the bottom of the barrel. She just couldn't seem to find that she had so many fans that loved her much, including myself. So I blame the people who put her down for her demise. If only she could have truly seen how much she was loved. I was riding the high school bus home when the local rock station broke in with the news that Janis had been found dead in a motel room. Alone and with probably a heavy broken heart. We'll never know just what she really could have done with her potential, but er as fans can guess she would have rose to even greater heights. SO HERE'S TO THE SEEET YOUNG GIRL WHO STOLE MY HEART. You took a little piece of my heart when you left us and I cried when hearing of your passing. But you will remain in my heart and soul forever. God bless you and hope you were able to finally rest in peace.

There's a doc.where she goes to her high school reunion after becoming famous and they still treat her like crap . They were pathetic people . Poor Janis.

I just did this quote and didn't someone else remembered it.

Ya, sad.

Unfortunately some of those people were just way too high to enjoy being on stage with Janis

Love her ❤️

The epitome of loneliness!

From my home town, Port Arthur, Texas 💜

Thank you! I couldn't for the life of me remember the name of the song just remembered there was an acoustic song I loved.

Absolutely, great song.

@@jodiemaxwell375 who cares where you're from?

@Carla Eiland - my friends drive porches I must make amends! 😀

therubbersouls OMG, lucky you. What a loss.

Summer Time..... so emotional

@@jamelakajamal can you do a reaction to Bob Seger song So I Wrote You A Song here is the link below kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bMimqrNe1ti3cY0.html

She wanted people to clap along to one of her songs but everybody was too stoned I guess. She stopped mid-song and said "I'm working my ass off up here. You motherf**kers can do something out there!" A guy in the front stood up and yelled back "I worked my ass off for a $5.50 ticket". She just laughed and went on singing. That tells you how long ago it was.

You are truly blessed to have that memory 🙏!

@@user-jl6nx9ml4y Yes I am.

I loved that! I also love the guy in the white shirt who was able to "flip the switch" and just let himself enjoy the moment. One the one hand he looked (to me) a bit ridiculous, and on the other hand I admire him for being able to do that!

That shy girl was most likely stoned out of her gourd and freaking out

She did and does!!!

Janis was raw emotion, a tragedy tne world failed het so badly.

@@tst4783 So sad that she gave so much love and received so little in return. You are sorely missed. You left us way too soon. RIP Janis. We love you!!!

Melissa Etheridge did a pretty killer cover of it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kJp5nLWDxMWoh5s.html

Sammy Hagar did his version of this song also. Pretty good stuff.

Janis always got so much love from her fans, but got so little in private life. Such a sweet gentle heart who's life was lost way too early. Only God knows what we have missed out on. I was fortunate enough to have grown up in that era. R I P JANIS.

I appreciate that you were more innocent, but I wouldn't say it was a more innocent time.

Two of my favorite blues singers. When I first heard Beth on one of Jamel’s reactions I was hooked! I don’t think it was I am the One btw either. lol

I just found Beth Hart AND Joe Bonamasa within the last year, and I'm 66, but I now have 4 albums.

Lone Justice

But so sad and needy. She was just looking for love ❤️

She sang Tom out of the ball-park, with that brilliant live version. Like her hero Otis Redding, JJ was in another league. Like Otis, she left far too early.

I have a friend, age 85 now. She sort of knew Janis and said she was always so kind to everyone.

You are Sooooo lucky. Would have given anything to have been able to see her live. Such raw talent. She gave so much of her heart and soul and received so little love in her actual life. Have seen her in interviews. What a sweet lady. You are missed. RIP.

Maybe even Tina Turner... I seen her shake her ass pretty good. Way back with her husband Ike, live.

@Bill McKay I didn't want to judge, but it was Janis, lol

What a wonderful performance. She was so smacked out ...

We've lost so many greats to the hard stuff (and even alcohol). To think of how many legendary careers were cut short...devastating.

Yes. I agree

The best. The best of the Best. In my book, nothing rivals Cry Baby. Nothin.

My fav for sure. And Little Girl Blue on Tom Jones show

Yes!!! 👌🏽👌🏽

This a thousand times over... raw passion overflowing!

I was there!

The look on Mama Cass Elliot's face during that says it all.

Just dropping this here for all of your benefit, but by taking a little look around I found that he’s actually already reacted to this gem. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fatgeaiClrmXXXk.html

YES!!! 😊🥰

YES! The live version!!

Do it

Yes!

Phenomenal!

YES! All of Sister Etta. Her dad was Minnesota Fats. "Allegedly" Her AT LAST is dreamy.

Only thing wrong with I'd Rather Go Blind is it's about 5 minutes too short. Wish it went on forever

Dylan Denney here she is live singing it;kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q8CkZNt82bbGhYU.html

Love Ms. Etta. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This.

Drugs are a helluva thing.

She high af here

You mean drunk. She'd drink a 40oz of Jack Daniel's from the bottle during her performances.

sigh.. another sub-par live performance marring a reaction video. The first time you ever hear a song it should be the original album version, so you can hear the song as it was intended, in high quality with all the subtleties of the instruments and lyrical tempo/timing. THEN explore live versions. Almost always a live performance is missing many things, but if you already know the song, your brain fills in the rest. But if have never heard the song before, you don't fully get the intended sound correctly. Having said that, the simpler the song, the more likely it is to translate well to live. There are some live Tori Amos versions that sound as good as the album, but then again it's mainly just her and the piano. On the opposite end, people are hearing RUSH for the first time and reacting to 2000 era live versions where Geddy's voice is trashed. Rush has some incredible early live versions of classic songs, but it's still better to hear the album versions first. Such a shame.

It would sure as hell beat some of the crap that comes out these days. You just named some of my most favorite people in the music world. So lucky to have grown up in the 50's and 60's. Nothing can compare to the music of that time. Of couse Skynyrd came a few years later and kept good music alive, but there hasn't been anything in these times that can touch it. R I P to those who have passed. You have all left us way before your time, but at least we have their songs to remember you by.

No-one I know plays Jim Croce, except me. I love Jim. What a loss he was.

@@hannyhawkins7804 I too sir listen to Jim Croce. I think he is an excellent singer. Some of his songs have a very special meaning to me. Especially Time in a Bottle. You see, I am 66 years old and my son is 39 so especially at my age that song fits our life just as if it was written for us. I lost his mother 3 weeks after his birth due to complications from the delivery. Were married only 6 years and she was only 25. RIP my love and RIP Mr. Croce and all the entertainers who have gone before us. So many who lost their lives way too soon.

Joe Hicks Oh my, what a heartbreaking story. Only six years of married happiness. I cannot imagine your grief and shock at losing your beloved just as you welcomed a new life. I’m so sorry for your terrible loss. Thank goodness your son survived. Time in a Bottle is a magical song, isn’t it? There’s something very special about it. Now, when I hear it I guess, it will always remind me of your story. Thanks for telling us your story. Real human connection is more precious than ever in these uncertain and isolating times. Wishing you the best, Joe.

@@hannyhawkins7804 Thank you for your reply and concern. Yes, in these days and times we are never certain of our fate. God bless you sir and to your family. Peace and safety be with you. My son and I have a very strong bond unlike so many others who stray from their loved ones. You have to hold them near and dear to your heart because you never know.

Jerry Bourland Absolutely. Janis at her greatest.

I think that was for Bessie Smith, another one of Janis' idols, not Big Mama.

@@matthewdrake4385 Oops! Fair enough, I can get things confused now and again :-)

It's all good...

YES!

@@scottoremland9145 It might be restricted from being a reaction video on YT. Perhaps if Jamel_AKA_Jamal will put it on the other service...

John Ozed supposedly the first psychedelic pop song to hit the waves

@@leefertwayne8163 I think it would be too strange for AM radio back then (plus it was an album cut). FM radio didn't happen until a year later in 1967... (I think)

She always said she never thought that she was pretty, but she didn't realize that she was more beautiful inside and out than she could ever imagine herself being. I'm such a big fan and so fortunate to have grown up in her era. R I P SWEET SOUL.

LEGENDARY detected

they also had a math class together and sat next to each other.

Cry Baby is probably my favorite of hers

Utter garbage. They were original unlike the generic bands she fronted after. I guess The Doors guitar solos were also amateur?

@@DamnDealDone I agree! Big Brother was more raw and down and dirty than anything after.

Did you know Neil Diamond has a KZfaq channel ? He did a COVID-19 version of "Sweet Caroline" that's on there.

@@christelheadington1136 yes! Washing Hands
