Janis Joplin was the fearless blues-rock singer whose raw, soul-baring voice made her one of the defining artists of the 1960s counterculture. Born in Port Arthur, Texas in 1943, she rose to fame fronting Big Brother and the Holding Company, electrifying the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival and turning 'Piece of My Heart' into a generational anthem. Steeped in the classic female blues singers she idolised, she sang with a gravelly, cracking intensity that held nothing back — every performance sounded like it was being wrung straight from the heart. Moving on to her own bands, she recorded the album 'Pearl', released after her death, which yielded the number-one hit 'Me and Bobby McGee' along with 'Cry Baby' and the a cappella 'Mercedes Benz'. Backed by loose, driving blues-rock and psychedelic soul arrangements — organ, horns and grinding guitars — her wild, whiskey-soaked delivery redefined what a rock frontwoman could be. She died at just twenty-seven in 1970, leaving a small but towering catalogue. For raw, impassioned blues-rock built around a powerful, gravelly female voice, Janis Joplin remains a landmark reference.
