Aaliyah, I just need to tell you that the audience member who looked so much in awe is a famous singer--Mama Cass. She had a career with a group called the Mamas and Papas, which was famous for its close harmonies, and then had a solo career. The expression on her face was the awe of an expert.

This concert was when Janis had her big breakthrough. She was mainly just on the west coast before this. She was polyphonic she could sing 2 notes at the same time. She put 120% of her soul into every song she sang. There will never be another “Pearl”.

What she needed in her life was people who truly LOVED HER. Never mind her status.

Janis truly had one of the most distinctive voices in rock, of any male or female singer. Her vocals were definitely unique- not just any singer could sound like that. She had that more soulful, tempered tone, and then she could just unleash her vocal distortion and go wild. I think she was very naturally gifted, and an incredible performance like this was just her authentic artistic self up on stage, or anywhere she sang.

Hi Aaliyah! Monterey Pop is an amazing film. I discovered this documentary at a young age, and it completely changed my understanding of music. One of the highlights for me has always been this performance of Ball & Chain. Janis Joplin doesn't just sing the song; she rips off her mask, the one we all wear in public, and gives us a clear view of the emotions lurking beneath it. There are these precious artists from time to time who can make us feel what they're protraying. Janis was one of those precious gifts. You should check out her songs Cry Baby and Piece Of My Heart. Great analysis, Aaliyah!

Yes please! Both great songs!

Couple of things. Cass Elliot had never heard Janis before this. They became friends and sang together on a couple of occasions. Monterey was actually put together by John Philips, the leader of The Mamas and the Papas, and he brought lots of mostly unknown acts including The Who from England and Jimi Hendrix, inspired by folk festivals. As a result of her two performances here, she got the first real record deal that brought her fame, allowed us to enjoy her genius and finally made her crash and burn way too young. More than half a century has passed and she is still a powerful emotional lever for many of us the world over.

The above footage is of the day Janis Joplin aged 24 yrs old was 'noticed' by the "big people of the music-world". [In 1966, Joplin auditioned and joined a new rock band in San Francisco, Big Brother and the Holding Company. The band grew popular in the Bay Area, and their big break came with their performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, footage above.]

Janis was influenced by the late blues singer, Bessie Smith. Both died at a young age. Bessie's grave remained unmarked until Janis purchased a gravestone. That's how much Janis loved her. Janis was born in Port Arthur, Texas. She was treated poorly by the people there and left. I'm sure she escaped the poor treatment by listening to the blues. When she sang, she embodied her music, giving electrifying performances to the audience. As you can see, there was no light show, special effects, choreographed backup dancers, or designer costumes. Her singing stood on its own, pure, organic, authentic, and unadulterated. Legend is not a big enough word to describe the Queen of Rock. There will only be one Janis Joplin. In my lifetime, I doubt I will see another singer with Janis' unique talent.
