Janis was such a unique talent, I grew up in a very small town and as far as I know I was the only one who appreciated what a voice she had. What a truly tragic person though.
I was really surprised when my son was a teenager to discover one of his friends had "discovered" Janis Joplin and was a big fan -

OMG I loved all her songs....I still have her album. It's an oldie but I cherish it.
I REALLY LOVED JANIS.
The one I liked best is "I've Got A Pair Of Roller Skates"
She was one awesome singer!!

Yes, I can still hear Janis Joplin singing that song. I also know who wrote it. Kris Kristofferson.
Thanks for the memory. That poor girl was so screwed up. Remember the movie, "The Rose" reminded me of her life.

Oh yeah! My friends all drive porsches, I must make amends. I've worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends. So, Oh Lord, won't you buy me a mercedes benz? AH Ha Ha Ha
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a colored T.V.? Dialing for dollars is trying to find me. I wait for delivery, each day until three. So, Oh, Lord, won't you buy me a colored T.V.?
Oh Lord, won't You buy me a night on the town? I'm counting on you, Lord, please don't let me down. So, do me a favor and buy the next round. Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town?
My Dad would spank my bottom if he ever heard me sing this! He would not allow Janis' music in my house. Now, that I think about the lyrics....I can see why!!

Yeah, Janis Joplin, who could forget her. I still have an album from the 70's.

Janis Joplin. Not a beauty queen but she had a set of pipes that wouldn't quit. Too bad she left us so early.

Yeah, Janis Joplin sang it. We used to go around singing that all the time with a really exaggerated twang!

You betcha...I used to drive my daughters crazy singing this, and just this past week my oldest daughter mentioned it to her son, and I started singing it again. They were ALL rolling their eyes at Nana for THAT one.
