Lyrics:
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing, I mean nothing, honey if it isn't free, no no
Yeah feeling good was easy Lord, when he sang the blues
You know feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
#JanisJoplin #MeandBobbyMcGee #Pearl - Hudba
I am a 67 years old black dude. In high school, this girl sat next to me in class, and she always had a Janis Tee Shirt on. I asked her, who is that? The next day she brought me her album and keep it for a few days. I have been hooked every since.
Doesn't great music like this just set you free and help put things in perspective? Motown does the same for me. Greetings to you from a 65 year old white brother from across the Atlantic! :-)
@@stevebutkovic3365 Music is Great. I am amazed how good it still sounds from back in the day. Greetings to you
I love this. I have my own story like it. In 7th grade, I sat in front of Mishaal (can't remember his last name). He had this album with a little naked baby on it swimming after a dollar bill. (Nirvana Nevermind) I was curious. He let me borrow the tape. And that changed my life. Thanks Mishaal. Thanks to all the friends who know and who share.
@@Chococatania I know! And I remember the album. I loved his
Music! He was awesome and is very missed! ❤️🥰❤️. RIP Man! 🙏
Same age here down under my friend.
My wife passed away from cancer at age 43. This was her favorite song and she introduced me to joplin. This song is for you Karen Vera, love of my life. I miss you everyday.
SO sorry for your loss
Back in 1971 when it was popular.
As a matter of fact it was number one fifty years ago this time along with the album Pearl. My 75 year old grandmother loved it. Then she became a fan. There was no generation gap with that woman
Very sorry to hear that your wife she had great taste in music.
You poor thing. I can deeply empathize with the loss of your girl. But I'd bet she'd appreciate how you've chosen to honor her memory. RIP Mrs. Vera.
I'm so sorry. Music helps a lot.
Who’s listening in 2024 🎉
Me and my wife
Yo escucho a Janet joplyn en 2024.
Me in Belgium
Me from finland
Me , right now!
I'm 63 years old,I saw the almond brothers play when I was eleven years old ,I love Janis joplin and always will. 💯 🫶
"I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday...." How great is this line! Brilliant. Simply Brilliant.
It was written by Kris Kristofferson. Amazing musician and poet.
@@theresajb6463was going to say this. I dont think most people these days have even heard of him let alone what a prolific song writer he was.
He was quite an exemplary musician himself. Too bad Janis couldn't have been born ten years later. She might have avoided the whole drug scene.
According to Einstein himself, he is listening! I sure the heck am and always will. Its the rhythm of the heart, the rhythm of life itself. Expression and experience. Bring it sustah!
Chris Christopher
My father used to play Janis on the car 8 track back in the '70s when I was a kid....when mom wasn't around. I still tear up when I hear "Me and Bobby McGee" to this date. Hearing the song causes me to miss him terribly.
She was my mom's favorite. I love her music, but it definitely makes me miss my mom!
@@triciawise4937my mom learned to play it on guitar before she passed 😊
❤️🩹🌹
I'm 70 years old black woman. These were the good ole days ❤️
Who else think Janis Joplin and van Morrison should have done a duet song that whould have been awesome
Janis had some dirt in her voice that in my opinion hasn't been duplicated. Her legacy lives on
put the dirt in
Beth Hart
Beth Hart Is an excellent Janis Joplin pupil.
Give Lacy J Dalton and Bonnie Raitt a listen. I’m not disagreeing and no they don’t match Miss Janis 💯 but they are similar.
Check out Brittany Howard from the Alabama Shakes. While she’s not Jani, she’s got some soul grit in her voice always reminded me of a mix between Areta and Janis.
My dad met Janis when him and his friend Richard Mann hitchhiked from Virginia to California playing music. My dad said she was sitting on the curb and he took a picture of her and she signed it. I still have this picture. It's like priceless!
Amazing.
Omg you have a Janis Joplin signature that is so crazy and I would cherish that myself!
Cool story. I just have 1 question if he took her picture was he around her for a few days? I only remember the camera's with the film in it that you had to take the film to get developed....so cool if he was able to spend time with her. 🤷🏽♀️✌🏾
@@francesalexander2545 it was probably Polaroids if you happen to remember them you took the picture and then it came out automatically
The story of Janis, her lover Kris Kristofferson, and how she recorded this, HIS song, will knock you to your knees.
Ultimate beauty 🌹
Ultimate sadness 💔
He was a brilliant song writer actually. But gotta say Janis owns this song. the same way Johnny Cash owns Sunday Morning Coming Down.
@@dennisvranic2387 She made it her own without Kris even knowing she recorded it.
Imagine how he felt listening to it a day after she died.
Then to see it go #1 ONE on Billboard Hot 100, the pop chart that matters..incredible 🌟
@barrysmith8920 U just gave me the chills w/all Ur words, I didn't know Kris loved Janis like that. I'm sorry for Kris 😢❤
She would be 80 years old this year❤
I and would've loved to hear her 80 yr old sould rock this out today
When she died i was only a few months old
Janis Joplin was NOT a one-hit wonder!! That's insulting. She kicked open the doors for all the female rock performers after her (for better AND worse). They all owe so much to her.
To be fair this was her only number one hit during her brief solo career. Although I agree she shouldn't be categorized as a one-hit wonder.
+coronaflo charts mean shit to me.
she def had a lot more then 1 hit..Mercedes benz, piece of my heart, summertime, try, cry baby...just to name a small few..i agree with filmnoir50 she kicked open a lot of doors and imho best female voice of all time :)
I agree with you. Janis is best of best!
I agree also what a wonderful lady x
I've enjoyed Drag racing from a young age. In 1971 I won my first event at Thunder Ridge Raceway! In the fifth round I was racing a Heavy Chevy, I was driving a 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T with a 440 MAGNUM This song was playing on (8-Track Tape) I won the race, fifth of the day an took home the Trophy and thanked Janis for keeping me calm and focused for the win!
I remember when Janis Joplin died. I was 10 years old at the time and really did not know who she was. But this song, Me and Bobby McGee was playing all over at the time of her passing and you could see from the atmosphere of the public that a very dark shadow of sadness was placed. Only someone important and loved can do this. I did not understand this at the time, but I understand now.
I was ten when Elvis died. Same story...
The album released after her 10-70 death...months later imo.
I still wonder if she just had enough and walked away. I was in Mussissippi and there was a singer there in a luttle hole in the wall bar that looked and sounded just like her. It was about 2 years after the said she died. Jimi Hendrix also wrote in one of hos album covers that hed like to disappear and go where no one knows who he is. No one saw Jimi's body leave that hotel.
@nnettesonjsjesse9733: "but I understand now." Not all of it, there's more.
Songs are often "messengers" for what is going to come.
annette, look at all the anger and violence going on in America. Mass shootings 5899 since 2013, 132 suicides in 2021 and 135 in 2022 and that number is slowly creeping up.
Every revolution in history was preceded with anger, Janus Joplin was an "empath" expressing what she was feeling from the nation and the world.
This song will be become an "anthem" of the coming revolution in America.
The best is yet to come. Be well be informed be free.
I'm almost 80. There were 3 kinds of people in the 1960's. Those who knew what is going on. those who didn't, and those that looked like sheep and said "what's happening." I was number three.
I came from an abused family, I was in a constant state of what's happening.
After camping in the wilderness ( just half-mile east of Glacier National Park at 5700 ft for 30 days at a time for 15 years) I became enlightened, and still working every day to get better and better... it never ends. Once one gets on that path it becomes a life-long quest to know more and more and...
Remember this song annette. When the revolution comes your nostalgia will be others crying for freedom.
@@fritzsmith3296 Thats what I wantcto do. I've been awake for a ling time too. I just want to go upcin the Western Nountains, find nice beautiful spot to just sit, think and connevt closer to God. I want to be in the beautiful picture God created.
she was free spirit - i remember her in that restaurant in Austin - she was a real free spirit and you never knew which Janis you are going to get that day
Simply the best female rock singer...ever!
She poured her soul into that microphone and her emotions.......I wish she would last longer and made more of those beautiful songs for us to appretiate ......Miss your voice and soul Janis......Hope you found the peace
Demais Janis
Realmente...deixou tudo nessa melodia
Cantava com a alma
I always loved her. Her voice was magic, I was a teen and I couldn't stop listening to her. I had all her LPs, bootlegs included, but unfortunately I have been obligated to sell everything because of money, I regret that, but no choice at that time. RIP Janis! You'll always be in my heart.
Isha, know the feeling, friend...She was my goddess because we knew our souls. Lost everything as well, but found you so life is good again. #StaySafe and love life!
I plugged in my AMP I started playing Janis Joplins 😂🤎
It's like a gospel of a bleeding heart. So classic, yet so modern.
fr
Wow!
Your expression is a classic!
Thank you, buddy :-))@@hemanpersaud7383
We lost her 50 years ago today but she lives on through her incredible music
Ouch, I just got so old... and it's a year old comment. 🙄
Because it was music
@@CraftAero Can't believe it's 50 years ago
one of a kind an ace she was with her soulful voice
Her songs are here for eternity........
In my opinion, the most powerful lyric in Rock and Roll. I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one single yesterday....
Kris Kristopherson was a badass writer...
Tom Yazel I think both songs are great yet very different despite the same lyrics
Yeah Kris Kristofferson wrots some wonderful lyrics and Janis had the perfect voice to sing them! He also wrot sunday Morning Coming Down!
Scott Johnson, she's incredible, I'm captured by her, but let's look at the living and appreciate them too while we're among us! Bent Hart - no less amazing and one of us!
Marie Casutt 💪🔥👍
Steve Earle narrates a very well written 4 part documentary by the BBC about Kristofferson. It's worth watching if you haven't already. A lot of very good "behind the scene" details.
The most free spirited female artist. She made a big impression in my life. She was truthful and passionate ❤
💯
Anyone listening tonight? April 23. 2024. Loving this 🎵
At least once a day love Janis
This was played at the end of my mom's funeral a couple weeks ago. Her favorite song. Everyone attending the service LOVED IT!

Eu tô em
Sinto muito 😥
I’m sorry for your loss.
Wicked xx
I married my Bobby 50 years ago and I hope it is played at mine as well. May your Mom rest in peace.
Many artists covered this song but it really belonged to Janis. She poured out her heart and sould and sang the hell out of it
Timeless talent. One of a kind voice.
Kris Janis made your song a legend this song will never be forgotten and neither will Janis Joplin
love Janis "In a world full of Kardashian's be a JANIS!!
for those who knew her like my cousins aunt dont be a janis stay sober
I call my daughter pearl because I swear she is Joplin incarnate
jessica regnier My mother had a friend who was Janis Joplin's nephew. He said that she reminder him of his aunt Janis. If I have a daughter, she will be called Janis.
my faith in women is restored.

Fifty years later and it still wrenches my soul. Brightest stars burn the quickest.
Piękne to ja też nie mam lat 20
Not first u last the end
Well put.
É VERO - 🐴🐴🐴
Love this! She was definately one of the brightest stars!
Gotta love Pearl! She had the voice that poured her heart and soul into every song she sang!
Wow I lost my wife to cancer thyroid in 2008 her favorite song brings back a lot of memories my dog just died last year the puppy we bought together heart broken again sorry can't do this
I believe we will all be together with our loved ones in time.
Pain free, Happy, our pups too!
I'm so sorry to hear that, at least you get to have this song to connect to her with
My dads fave lady ever... he died in 2007 of cancer..played this at his funeral.. he was in love w Janis... he is up there partying with her for sure!! Thank you dad for introducing me to this awesome voice!!!
Janis not only sang the blues, she lived it. You can hear the pain
Síii, es verdad...en su canción llevaba su pena, su soledad!!!! Eterna soledad
Love the blues
Love the blues
I only feel pain in my ears when i listen to her voice which is akin to nails dragging on a chalkboard.
@@hecklingheck9188 Sí, te puedo entender! Si lo analizas fríamente, es un chillido molesto de una drogadicta y alcohólica! Pero para mí es algo mucha más profundo; es su alma solitaria e incomprendida! Ella era rechazada desde pña por la gente; y de adolescente..le hicieron buling..y se sentía muy desdichada! Tal vez no sea óbice para que guste..o no . pero es un desgarro su voz( mi opinión es subjetiva), desde luego! Un abrazo 👋🏼🇪🇦🙄
Rest in paradise Janis!
Greatest female singer ever , she gave heart and soul in every song she ever performed. Dearly missed ❤
She traded all her tomorrows for one single yesterday ☮️❤️😔
Hands down! ❤️
A gifted artists.
@@60s_Bae Hey barefooted, tree hugging hippie 👋
💔
Kris wrote a masterpiece, Janis gave it life. Two legends when music was something more than a dollar bill. Pure poetry.
"I'd trade all of my tomorrows for just one single yesterday"
I'm pretty sure this is exactly how Kris Kristofferson really wanted the song to sound like. (I keep saying this to several of these comments but I think it needs said again and again.)
@@HarpoonDon I agree 110%
Thank you Kris for writing this for Janis and the world.
In 1967 at the Monterey pop festival Janis Joplin, who was unknown, gave people a shock when they heard her sing. From then on her road to stardom was really short. RIP. Mari.
SHE'S ALIVE AND WAS IN WITNESS PROTECTION. I SANG THIS SONG IN A BAR XOXO
My dad passed away about 8 years ago from cancer when I was about 15. This was his go to song to pump himself when he was feeling down. Will always be grateful to Janis Joplin for this song
I hope you are doing well and still loving this song.
Alot of us here feel u💙💙💙
Did your dad ever feel down knowing the fact that most parents don't have a method of parenting that will allow infant baby toddler young child and teenager to grow up and develop maturing into strong confident healthy successful fun-loving adults that can joyfully make their way through life as a single, married, or simply just living as a healthy happy productive part of a massive group which is society. Even worse this selfless neglecting stupidity has been exacerbated by global pollution which has diminished the quality of life for all did your father ever get that far down? Into the truth
I lost my mama April 2nd 2020 this was a song she always sang too
@@stillwaters7730 In case you haven't noticed her songs like most other famous singers are based them off of the predetermined systematic response to life and death. Meaning their songs have not motivated people or inspired them in any manner to prevent school mass shootings or any other form of abuse and neglect that today's Americans are being born into 24 seven all year long. So it's not so much losing your mind as in never having one that is capable of consciously acknowledging and physically participating in aspects of life that don't result in school mass shootings or any of the other forms of abuse or neglect that American children are dealing with today versus when the singer was first born.
"freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose"
This Message IS good enough for me, good enough for me and family
my motto for life!
And nothin' aint worth nothin' but it's free.
I just heard someone ask if freedom was just a chance to be better. My mind came here, and my fingers followed.
I know she didn't this song, but the line u quoted is one of the best ever.
Happy 80th Birthday Beautiful
Remembering you today
She's a fabulous blues singer, love her 💙
Hi I find her great ! Birgit Annelore Brubacher from Germany.
a star of the biggesst magnitude unfortunetly self destructive like the other 27 club mrlembers. what a voice
I honestly can't imagine who the 1.5 k people are who gave this a thumbs down. Janis is a classic, and this song is a classic. I have heard it a thousand times and it still makes me cry. Maybe those 1.5 k people never found their Bobby? I Thank God, mine never got away. We just celebrated 40 years of marriage.
These people are the ones who think Cardi B's WAP is the greatest thing since sliced bread. NOT!!!!!!! They don't know great music when they hear it. ROCK ON JANIS!
I would trade all the Kardashians for just one Janice
Fuck 'em.
I don't understand how this performance could get a single thumbs-down. I'm guessing there are just that many morons out there somewhere.
@@HarpoonDon You are right....mentally ill people, simple as that.
Still through old footage it's shocking that such a small person could possibly have this voice that shook the rafters! One of a kind and she left the world a better place. RIP
So true. But hey have you ever heard lulu? Beyond superb. Small in stature , but the greatest voice ever, and so under rated. Listen to morning dew to see what I mean. Just the best.
I'm 74 and thought Janis was the best of her entire era...listening now to Bobby McGee
Janice is my Girl! You didn't listen to all her songs.. if you think she is a one hit wonder
The emotion in Janis's voice is uniquely moving and amazing. RIP Janis. And thank you.
There was a time when we were all young, where we lived in freedom and health, where sex and love were new and mysterious and wonderful, and we thought it was never going to end. Then, something happened: a graduation, a pregnancy, a job, something perhaps joyous in itself, but our lives changed forever and we can never go back. Life is still good, but I'd still trade all of my tomorrows for just a single yesterday
Eloquently written but no way. We can use rose colored glasses to look either forwards or backwards but to get off the ride simply to re-experience something from the past a resounding hell no! I guess I wear my rose colored glasses looking forward to whatever tomorrow brings. Why it is better to be vertical and above ground than horizontal and beneath it.
Perfectly expressed
You should not want to trade tomorrow's but live in your today's with the memories of the past.
Having lost my love after 60 years of sweet & sometimes bleak memories, I'd rather be sharing the future with her.
@@mikjb There be truth in that.
Man I feel you brother 😢
Her music just awakens your soul
❤
People don't know what music is till they hear Janis!!!
YesSsS
So true indeed...that rusty sexy voice... a carefree Soul....
I agree!
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose. My own slogan.
When you’ve lost your reputation, one can live quite freely.
Janis all day ,,, touches the heart,,, those that don't know ,,, missing out,,, her voice melts the heart
Freedom is just another word . For nothing left to lose. So true 💕💖
Ooh si, quanto è vero ! ❤
She left her footprint in history!
Those idiots laughed her out of school, her hometown and state. People can be so cruel.Rest easy Janis, those people will never change and they dont matter. We miss you and love you.
They do actually matter because they made her stronger
❤❤❤Thank you All The Saints in Heaven.Glory to Our Kingdom Heaven ❤
The build up in this song is amazing. Starts out as a sweet love song, and then the emotion over takes the entire piece. Each and every syllable out of her mouth has more power emotion and soul in it than the entirety of music put out today. Just the lahdidahdahs, all alone is a better piece of music than we will probably ever get again.... ❤ Raw, and shredded just like her heart was.
If you've had a rough enough life, you'll end up both laughing and crying while singing along sometimes.... This is an absolute masterpiece. The band, the vocals, the timing, and unfortunately the drugs that led her to death. All of it. Tragically Beautifully Haunting.
A one hit wonder?? She has so many hits!! She led the way for everyone today!!😊
I was born in 1990 but I swear to the good lord I feel connected to Janice and her music. She was so ahead of her time!! She left this huge impression in 2-3 yrs tops imagine if she’d lived and lead a whole career she’d changed the whole world.
The world has changed. She along with a few other boomers, changed the world into what it is today. Let that sink in and don't forget it.
That is my generation.
Yes, but it was not the dreamers & music makers… but the corporate-minded narcissists of your generation who took over in political BS. Don’t dismiss your entire generation who also did a world of good ☮️ you may never even realize to what extent in some of our souls, and I thank you 🙏🥹✊🎶☮️
This song simply genial!. From Chris Kristoferson.
Only the Good Die Young
Only good one die young
Gone too soon.
This song will live on through eternity. ❤❤❤
She was a legend just like Jimi Hendrix and I’m way too soon. Just like Jimi Hendrix.
Gone not I’m
She sang from her soul.
53 years without Janis Joplin💜💜
January 19th 1943 - October 4th 1970
She spoke her TRUTH- that’s all we REALLY have
Kris Kristofferson wrote this for her.
Feeling good was good enough for me.
Holding Bobby’s body next to mine
Touches my soul
The finest female vocalist of all time.
I genuinely believe she was overrated. One hit wonder. Maybe two hits, that’s about it.
Sacrilege! @@ianscully6652 It's not about the hits, it's the voice. Somehow I lived four decades or more without consciously hearing her voice. But as soon as I did, as another has commented below, I was hooked. For a modern-day equivalent, Karise Eden.
AMONG the finest… Natalie merchant… Stevie nicks…I could go on. #gifted
Janis Joplin is one of my all time favorite singers she always makes my blues go away
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.-Kristoferson
One of a kind, nothing compares.
A masterpiece! R.I.P. to the late great Janis Lyn Joplin! Gone but never forgotten!
Never!
I’ve heard good covers of this song, but nothing beets this, her voice is so soulful. It’s like she lived her lyrics.
I'm my my youth in a little country town...all I'd heard was church music and Anzac Day marches..I walked down the dirt street I lived on.. and from the speaker out side Cunninghams hardware store .. came this song.... My life changed forever...
Janis Joplin was one of the most moving performers who ever lived , she was the natural
I once made a list of performing artists who belong in the same pantheon together, and Janis Joplin is in that list. Many popular singers had better singing voices than some or maybe even all in the list, but these particular artists had the gift of making you FEEL what they were singing about, through and through, like no one else ever could. Let me see if I can make the list again, off the top of my head (in no particular order):
Aretha Franklin
Ella Fitzgerald
Hank Williams (Sr.)
Johnny Cash
Frank Sinatra
Elvis Presley
Roy Orbison
Judy Garland
Patsy Cline
Otis Redding
Louis Armstrong
Al Jolson (listen to his recorded songs and keep it in a separate compartment from his now-frowned upon blackface shtick!)
And last, but not least: Janice Joplin!
When the Lord made Janis, He broke the mold. Never gonna be another one like her. RIP, darlin'.......
Mould surely?
A trade a hellava lot to have met Janis Joblin, anyone who sings like that must have sweet soul , that voice just reaches all the way out ❤️
I loved this girls voice. I wish she had not have died. Imagine all the other wonderful songs she would have sung for us.
imagine her prodgeny...what they may have accomplished...truly a loss. The world has had many, some hurt more than others, but few make you wish and wonder over 40 years later what could have or should have been
Growing up in those times so many artists drank heavy and did heroin. Rock was a hard and fast life and many died. Janis was no exception. She'd come out on stage with her bottle of Jack. Most of her bandmates and herself were doing heroin. It amazes me that they produced the music they did in that lifestyle. Very sad as we lost many great artists and IMHO there will never be another Janis. Her unique voice and lyrics are simply unique to her...
Mr Sardonicus if she had not died then she would have died the next day or next week when you have an amazing talent the world demands you pay the price. It was her day to pay the ferryman. But she left us such amazing gifts and defined an era.
Mr Sardonicus my wife and I just as April 7 2020 spoken of this. We imagine how all of the artists who had not pass away ; where would the bar now? Where would music be now? My opinion the music bar would be very high.
Yeah I think about this sometimes but then I also remember the artist that lived a really long time and not done much after their Prime. I mean he'll I remember listening to Chubby Checker in a radio interview in the early 2000s, Little Richard was pretty much irrelevant for his last 20 or 30 years. Hell for all we know this woman would have turned into a Barbra Streisand has been that does a casino tour every now and then to refill the bank. As it sits I like to think of it this way enjoy the art that they created and appreciate the fact that they left in their Prime and spared you their fall
October 4, 1978. The day she died. That’s today. RIP, Queen…
JANIS JOPLIN FOREVER 🟣 !!!
AND OF COURSE FREDDIE MERCURY. THE KING OF VOICE
@@RobinHood-fi4vp Elvis Presley is wayy better!!!
@SOLOMONDAMIANAARON Nope. Freddie MERCURY 🏆 🥇 won the most votes in a world wide poll. F. Mercury played guitar. Piano drums. Sang Opera. And has the highest OCTAVE RANGE.

WHEN THEY PLAY ELVIS THE CROWDS MOSTLY KEEP MOVING ON.🤓🤭🤭🤭
@@RobinHood-fi4vp Elvis has sold way more of his works, and is regarded as the King of Rock and Roll. Not only that but he dominated in a genre that was created by blacks.
@@RobinHood-fi4vp Also Freddie is not as popular for his solo works as Elvis is. Freddies success can be attributed to his association with Queen.

Such a sad soul taken over by drugs and alcohol. Gone too soon, but never forgotten. God bless her and may she Rip.

Jeff Stinnett bull SHIT. don't bring drugs into it.
Marc Lugo Don't bring drugs into it but she died of an overdose
We ALL have our vices. I have listened to Janis Since I was 9 10 yr old. My mother loved her. I am 50 + and I still listen and know the word to all her songs
"but I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday
to be holding bobby's body next to mine"
What a fantastic line to express the pain felt in losing someone.
Great song, love it.
I've probably heard this song a thousand times and I still cry. It's a true love story told in a song. And that line says it all.
1 of the best love songs in history if you ask me.
Kristofferson wrote it and Janis made it famous!
Amen. It cuts thru the heart!
Shelby Shoemaker he is truly a gifted poet
don't forget the real ARTIST CHRISTOFFERSON.
I can't carry a tune in a bucket, lol. But I know every word of this song. After a few beer's I sing it out loud, all by myself 😂
Such a classic, this one. Janis recorded this legendary Kris Kristofferson comp only days before her death. She not only sang the song, but she played acoustic guitar on it too.
Nie znam angielskiego ale kocham ją
Było to coś pieknego
Już tak wspaniałej wokalistki nigdy nie będzie 😭
Dobranoc
This talent, JJ only recorded for five years and she propelled herself as the undisputed Queen of R&R. No way will she ever be duplicated.
Here in 2020...laughin' and cryin' for times long gone...
Janis Joplin was one of the great singers of that time as as a girl and a woman you go Girl people just listen to the lyrics they are real to her songs miss you girl
That smile, that voice...
never underestimate a mother who listens to Janis Joplin
Aj Perkins my mom could sing just like her.....
Aj Perkins yep. I got my mother’s old records and her spirit
Amen
Or a grandmother who listens to Janis. GOTTA LOVE JANIS.
What about dad Who listens Janis Joplin?
Love you Janis, you kicked ass, that bluesy, big voice!!!!
Rest in Peace Mom... Thank You for introducing Me to this Song ..I would trade all of my tomorrow's for one single yesterday just to See You again
LYRICS
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
When I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
And rode us all the way into New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I's playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I's holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew
Freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', don't mean nothin' hon' if it ain't free, no-no
And feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
You know feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
From the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun
There Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done
Yeah, Bobby baby, kept me from the cold
One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away
He's lookin' for that home, and I hope he finds it
But, I'd trade all of my tomorrows, for one single yesterday
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
Freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', and that's all that Bobby left me, yeah
But feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
That feelin' good was good enough for me, mmm-hmm
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
La-da-da, la-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, Bobby McGee, yeah
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
La, la-la-la-da-da- Bobby McGee, oh yeah
La-da-da, la-da-da, la, da-da, la, da-da
La-da-da, la-da-da, la-di-da
Hey now, Bobby now, now Bobby McGee, yeah
Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, lo-da-da, na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na
Hey now, Bobby now, now Bobby McGee, yeah
Well, I wanna call him my lover, call him my man
I said, I call him my lover, did the best I can, come on
Hey now, Bobby now, hey now Bobby McGee, yeah
Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, oh
Hey-hey-hey, Bobby McGee, Lord
O
Thank you so very much ❤

There was no one quite like Janis Joplin!!! She was a kind of blend of the black blues divas and the folkies.....RIP JANIS.....you will definitely live on thru your kick ass music!!
You ARE absolutely right
A few years ago, a young friend asked me to listen to a track called "piece of my heart". She absolutely raved about it and was was floored when I said that Melissa Etheridge, by comparison, sounded like a five year old girl wearing her mother's high heeled shoes and thinking she's a lady. I pulled out Janis Joplin's rendition. She was silent for the rest of the day.
@@ohasis8331 What about Pink's?
@@johncloois3301 Far better than Etheridge.
Janis and Aretha
it's so criminaly shameful how underrated Janis was/is. she seemed to get a shitty deck of cards but she still played em.she still was/is one of the best
Happy heavenly 80th, Janis 🥳
Hard to believe that Our Janis would have been that age. Thank you CJ x Australia 🇦🇺 STRAYA SOUTHERN Cross ➕ Southern HEMISPHERE

This is one of my mom's favorite songs and today's her second heavenly birthday.

Still loving Janis! When I feel down Janis can always bring me back up. Love you forever Janis Joplin!!
GREAT!!! It's amazing song!!! Wonderfull!!!
You cannot understand because your predetermined systematic response to life-and-death prevent you from comprehending 50 years ago America did not have more school mass shootings than any other country in the world. 50 years ago America did not have the highest violent crime rate drug alcohol dependency problem in the world. 50 years ago America did not have the lowest standards of quality pertaining to our air water food landscapes working living environment along with everyday products. 50 years ago America did not have the most soft lazy out of shape overfed undernourished overwork underpaid. Or vice versa overpaid under work weaklings in existence. That's why prior to my eighth birthday I was asking my grandmother questions like how can I respect my elders when they are leaving me a world full of all these problems and much more such as global pollution which has diminished the quality of life for all.
You would be able to understand if you had been properly educated about intimacy versus simply being exposed to a generic synthetic desperate aspect of sex which you base your whole entire self neglecting physical freedom predetermine systematic response to life and death around.
Her voice is like nails to a chalkboard to me. It’s like she does too much. Idk I guess to each their own and I may be in the minority, but I can’t stand Janis.
