Little Girl Blue is a 1935 song written by Lorenz Hart and composed by Richard Rodgers. The song was introduced by Gloria Grafton in the 1935 Broadway musical: Jumbo.

The song was released as a B-side single to the A-side single: Kozmic Blues. The single peaked at #41 on the Hot 100. This live performance is from the TV show: This Is Tom Jones, on December 4, 1969.

Lyrics 📝:
Sit there
Hm-mm, count your fingers
What else, what else is there to do?
Ooh, honey, I know how you feel
I know you feel that you're through
Ooh, wah-wah, sit there, hmm, count
Oh, count your little fingers
My unhappy, oh, little girl, little girl blue, yeah
Ooh-ooh, sit there, oh, count those raindrops
Oh, feel 'em falling down, ooh, honey all around you
Honey, don't you know it's time?
I feel it's time somebody told you, 'cause you got to know
That all you ever gonna have to count on
Or gonna wanna lean on
It's gonna feel just like those raindrops do
When they're falling down
Honey, all around you
Ooh, I know you're unhappy
Ooh, sit there
Oh, go on, go on and count your fingers
I don't know what else, what else, honey, have you got to do
And I know how you feel
And I know you ain't got no reason to go on
And I know you feel that you must be through
Oh, honey, go on and sit right back down
I want you to count, ooh, count your fingers
Ah, my unhappy, my unlucky
And my little, oh, girl blue
I know you're unhappy
Ooh-ooh, honey, I know
Baby, I know just how you feel
Janis Joplin Info: 📰
Janis Lyn Joplin was born on January 19, 1943 in Port Arthur, Texas. She passed away on October 4, 1970 in Los Angeles, California. She was a singer and songwriter. One of the most successful and widely known rock performers of her era, she was noted for her powerful mezzo-soprano vocals and "electric" stage presence. She remains one of the top-selling musicians in the United States, with Recording Industry Association of America certifications of 18.5 million albums sold.
As a teenager, Janis Joplin befriended a group of outcasts, one of whom had albums by blues artists Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, and Lead Belly, which Janis Joplin later credited with influencing her decision to become a singer. She began singing Blues and Folk music with friends at Thomas Jefferson High School. Janis Joplin stated that she was ostracized and bullied in high school. As a teen, she became overweight and suffered from acne, leaving her with deep scars that required dermabrasion. Other kids at high school would routinely taunt her and call her names like "pig", "freak", "n!gger lover", or "creep". She stated: "I was a misfit. I read, I painted, I thought. I didn't hate n!ggers".
Janis Joplin graduated from high school in 1960 and attended Lamar State College of Technology in Beaumont, Texas, during the summer and later the University of Texas at Austin (UT), though she did not complete her college studies. While at UT she performed with a Folk trio called The Waller Creek Boys. Her first song: "What Good Can Drinkin' Do", was recorded on tape in December 1962 at the home of a fellow University of Texas student.
She left Texas in January 1963 ("Just to get away", she said, "because my head was in a much different place"), hitchhiking with her friend Chet Helms to North Beach, San Francisco. Still in San Francisco in 1964, Janis Joplin and future Jefferson Airplane guitarist Jorma Kaukonen recorded a number of Blues standards, which incidentally featured Jorma Kaukonen's wife Margareta Kaukonen using a typewriter in the background. This session included seven tracks: "Typewriter Talk", "Trouble In Mind", "Kansas City Blues", "Hesitation Blues", "Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out", "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy", and "Long Black Train Blues", and was released long after Janis Joplin's death as the bootleg album: The Typewriter Tape.
In 1966, Janis Joplin's Bluesy vocal style attracted the attention of the San Francisco-based Psychedelic Rock band Big Brother & The Holding Company, which had gained some renown among the nascent San Francisco hippie community in Haight-Ashbury. In 1967, Janis Joplin rose to prominence following an appearance at Monterey Pop Festival with the band. After releasing two albums with the band, she left Big Brother & The Holding Company to continue as a solo artist with her own backing groups, first the Kozmic Blues Band and then The Full Tilt Boogie Band. She appeared at the 1969 Woodstock festival and on the Festival Express train tour.
Five singles by Joplin reached the US Billboard Hot 100, including a cover of the Kris Kristofferson song: "Me And Bobby McGee", which posthumously reached number one in March 1971. Her most popular songs include her cover versions of the songs: "Piece Of My Heart", "Cry Baby", "Down On Me", "Ball And Chain", "Summertime", and her original song: "Mercedes Benz", her final recording.
Janis Joplin passed away due to a reported heroin overdose in 1970, at the age of 27, after releasing three albums, two with Big Brother & The Holding Company, and one solo album. A second solo album: Pearl, was released in January 1971, just over three months after her passing. It reached number one on the Billboard charts. Among the memorabilia Janis Joplin left behind is a Gibson Hummingbird guitar.
The film: The Rose (1979), is loosely based on Janos Joplin's life. Originally planned to be titled: Pearl, Janis Joplin's nickname and the title of her last album, the film was fictionalized after her family declined to allow the producers the rights to her story. Bette Midler earned a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in the film.
In 1988, on what would have been Janis Joplin's 45th birthday, the Janis Joplin Memorial, with an original gold, multi-image sculpture of Joplin by Douglas Clark, was dedicated during a ceremony in Port Arthur, Texas.
In 1995, Janis Joplin was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In the late 1990s, the musical play: "Love, Janis", was created and directed by Randal Myler, with input from Janis Joplin's younger sister Laura and Big Brother & The Company guitarist Sam Andrew, with an aim to take it to Off-Broadway. Opening in the summer of 2001 and scheduled for only a few weeks of performances, the show won acclaim, played to packed houses and was held over several times.
Rolling Stone ranked Joplin number 46 on its 2004 list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time and number 28 on its 2008 list of 100 Greatest Singers of All Time. NPR dubbed Janis Joplin as "The Queen Of Rock" and named her one of the 50 Great Voices.
In 2005, Janis Joplin received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. In November 2009, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum honored her as part of its annual American Music Masters Series; among the artifacts at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum exhibition are Janis Joplin's scarf and necklaces, her psychedelically painted 1965 Porsche 356 Cabriolet and a sheet of LSD blotting paper designed by Robert Crumb, designer of the Cheap Thrills album cover. Also in 2009, Janis Joplin was the honoree at the Rock Hall's American Music Master concert and lecture series.
In 2013, Washington's Arena Stage featured a production of "A Night With Janis Joplin", starring Mary Bridget Davies. In it, Janis Joplin performs a concert for the audience while telling stories of her past inspirations, including those of Odetta and Aretha Franklin. The production transferred to Broadway, then went on tour in 2016.
On November 4, 2013, Janis Joplin was awarded with the 2,510th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contributions to the music industry. Her star is located at 6752 Hollywood Boulevard, in front of Musicians Institute.
On August 8, 2014, the US Postal Service revealed a commemorative stamp honoring Janis Joplin as part of its Music Icons stamp series during a first-day-of-issue ceremony at the Outside Lands Music Festival at Golden Gate Park.
In 2015, the biographical documentary film: "Janis: Little Girl Blue", directed by Amy J Berg and narrated by Cat Power, was released. It was a New York Times Critics' Pick.
In 2023, Rolling Stone ranked Joplin at number 78 on its list of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time.

Janis Joplin Passing 🙏:
On Sunday evening, October 4, 1970, Janis Joplin was found unresponsive on the floor of her room at the Landmark Motor Hotel in Los Angeles, California by her road manager and close friend John Byrne Cooke. Janis Joplin's death in October 1970 at age 27 stunned her fans and shocked the music world, especially when coupled with the deaths of Canned Heat singer Alan Wilson a month earlier, and Rock icon Jimi Hendrix, just 16 days earlier, both aged 27.
Alcohol was present in the room. Newspapers reported that no other drugs or paraphernalia were present. According to a 1983 book authored by Joseph DiMona and Los Angeles County coroner Thomas Noguchi, evidence of narcotics was removed from the scene by a friend of Janis Joplin and later put back after the person realized that an autopsy was going to reveal that narcotics were in her system. The book adds that prior to Janis Joplin's death, Thomas Noguchi had investigated other fatal drug overdoses in Los Angeles where friends believed they were doing favors for decedents by removing evidence of narcotics, then they "thought things over" and returned to put back the evidence. Thomas Noguchi performed an autopsy on Janis Joplin and determined the cause of death to be a heroin overdose, possibly compounded by alcohol.
John Byrne Cooke believed Janis Joplin had been given heroin that was much more potent than what she and other L.A. heroin users had received on previous occasions, as was indicated by overdoses of several of her dealer's other customers during the same weekend. Her death was ruled accidental. The hotel room where Janis Joplin tragically died has now become a makeshift shrine to the singer. Janis Joplin was cremated at Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park and Mortuary in Los Angeles, and her ashes were scattered from a plane into the Pacific Ocean.
Miscellaneous Note 🗂:
Her music idol growing up was the Blues singer Bessie Smith. When Janis Joplin found out that Bessie Smith 🙏🏾was buried in an unmarked grave, she bought a headstone 🪦for her that read: "The greatest Blues singer in the world will never stop singing".
