@barrydouglas6276

I think you may have been misled in your understanding. Every acoustic instrument (and I consider sung voice an instrument) has overtones. The maths is rather predictable with most instruments. The octave is usually the strongest harmonic and at double the root frequency still typically has lower energy than the fundamental. Many instruments can be "overblown" or damped to produce "harmonics", the easiest of which is the octave. In these circumstances more energy originates from the octave but the overtones are defined by multiples of the root note at half frequency. To me Janis was able to scream and shout (with discordant frequencies) at exactly the pitch she intended or sing anywhere between a clean chest voice and occasionally a measured slightly dirty head voice. The octaves are way insufficient to explain her tone. Please forgive my lecture on tonality, my motivation stands that simply understanding the multiples of frequencies is, as lawyers would express it, a necessary but not sufficient condition to understand that Janis Joplin sang uniquely.

The part towards the end when he paused it because she did the leg lift and he said it kinda gave him goosebumps….what did it for me was a second or two before that when she is really fixing to kick it all off she did some kind of little thing with her left arm and man, you know she is going to kill it! I get amazed at how the simplest movement during a moment like this can literally cause your body to physically react to it. I hope that before she died she was able to truly know just how special she was because she spent so many years not feeling like it.

Nothing like her. So much pain...

It's when she and also Jimi Hendrix were sort of formally introduced to the world. You're right, watching he stomp those kitten heels, her whole body just pouring out all that emotion, is really something. Genre, a little prog-rock, blues, Texas roadhouse, someone said it, its just Janis.

I love your reactions! Thank you for reacting to Janis Joplin, her song “Summertime” will give you chills.

Song brings tears ta my eyes almost Every time

I "Liked" this reaction video as soon as he said "Miss Janis Joplin ". That shows respect for great music before his time. Young man is humble, and thoughtful , philosophical.

This is beautiful, but she put ALL her heart and soul in ‘Piece of My Heart.’

She was wild and so so talented. That voice, no singer can move me like her. ❤

This was the Monterey Pop Festival where she exploded. Mama Cass Elliot was in the audience. I think her genre was more blues than pop. She had her own style. Nobody can ever replace her! Gone to soon! I still listen to her and I’m 72 . She was the greatest!

thanks for playing Janis - I always loved her soulful raw voice . Love you reactions and love you channel

Monterey Pop this Show. Got her Signed for her First Record Deal

Finally, someone who appreciates Janis as mush as I do! Met one of her friends who said I remind them of her. Awesome compliment. Gone too soon, RIP.

Hendrix, Janis and Jim Morrison all died at age 27. Hendrix and Joplin died within 2 weeks of each other and were the TOP ICONS of this era. Then the dreaded 70s had a big hole to fill

someone should do a documentary " the impact of drugs on the music industry"

@@dodge96neon yeah, we lost Charlie Parker in 1955, John Coltrane, Eric Clapton and Jerry Garcia were near junkies for many years, and countless others. On the other hand, Louis Armstrong was said to have smoked pot every day for more than 50 years. Maybe that helped him make great music. And the way LSD took the music world by storm, you'd need to discuss the positive side of drug culture too .... like Live/Dead, Surrealistic Pillow, Sgt Peppers etc etc

That was a terrible 2 weeks. I had met Jimi Hendrix and was huge fans of them both. We cried.

Thank you, Jamel, for bringing great performers from the past. You do a great job, reacting to them. Thank you.

Queen of Rock n Roll✌🏻

Hey jamel I think this lady did the rock blues thing and soul to kick things off😃👍 love her

I always wanted a pair of shoes like that. And, Janis was my favorite all of my teen life.

I was lucky to see Janis sing live in Toronto at the Toronto Pop Festival 1970 and I was right up in front of the stage. Janis was phenomenal.

If you haven't done any Mamas and Papas, you should consider checking them out. Creque Alley, I Saw Her Again, California Dreamin, Monday Monday and Dream A Little Dream

BTW, it's Mama Cass at 7:11 watching Janis sing. And she, a fabulous singer on her own, was clearly flattened and dumbstruck with Janis' performance.

Loved the Mama's and Papas!!

Blues for sure, this woman sang with her whole soul, she gave all of herself when she sang, never be another!

That’s Mama Cass , one of the best singers of the day saying ‘WOW’ , impressed with Janis performing with every fiber of her being! What passion!

My favourite singer of all time. Janis always put her heart and soul into every song. She gives me goosebumps everytime i put one of her cds on.

watch Jannis do cry baby

Love the expression on Mama Cass Elliot....another great singer♥️ She was with the Mamas and the Papas. Also had a solo career and variety show on tv. She also died young.

I saw Janis with Big Brother and the Holding Company in Houston in 1968 ... I was only 17 at the time and it got me hook line and sinker ... another great Texas Blues singer in the band in Heaven ... Rest Easy Jani

Arguably one of the greatest performances in rock history

And that sir, is why she's an icon. In her short career she covered so many genres, she WAS a genre
