About: Janis Joplin

A Texas-born blues and rock powerhouse, Joplin tore through the late 1960s with a voice that owed as much to Bessie Smith as to psychedelic San Francisco - her Woodstock set and the posthumous hit 'Me and Bobby McGee' cemented a legacy that streaming numbers still confirm today.
