@Jose Gonzalez Janis actually did work with vocal coach Judy Davis for a while in the summer of 66 by request of the band. She stopped working with the instructor. Mama Cass was intrigued by the performance but had said in interviews later that she was not a fan of Janis's singing style. The shocking thing about Janis Joplin in 1967 was that no white women had ever expressed themselves in the same way as she. That is why the imitators now sound so cheesy because they are doing the white woman rocker raspy voice blues thang'. Real blues singers don't do the screaming. They make marvelous and seductive vocal sounds but not just by outright screaming. Janis herself stopped the screaming because it would have destroyed her voice in a short time. She took up a very microphone technique of using a rasp. With excessive volume it sounded very powerful but if you heard her in a room it was actually not very loud as singing in a rasp would not be. She was in the right place at the right time to make the impression that she did.

As soon as she started signing a chill ran down my backbone. Janice was great. So sad that so many people think they can play with fire and not get burned. Many have the scares and many lost the game. Best not to even play.

Janis wasn't a singer; Janis was pure raw pain, soul, awesomeness!

Janice just tears your heart out with her singing. When a pro like Mama Cass sits there in the audience with her mouth open and says "Wow," you know you're in the presence of greatness. Listening to her still brings a tear to my eye even after all these years (I'm 73). Her life was tragic, and she never lived to see how much she was loved, but we'll always have her incredible soul with us every time we hear her sing.

I cannot hear Janis sing without getting goosebumps. My favorite artist by far.

Fifty-plus years on, this song still sends shivers down my spine. It is driving, aggressive, gripping, bone-shattering. It blew our minds then and still does now. With all the booze and smokes, I doubt Janis could have kept her vocal powers at this level for many more years. It broke my heart when she died but we will always have this marvelous recording to take us back to that Summer of Love. This performance opened the doors for Janis, who wasn't widely known at the time. And don't forget the band: Big Brother and the Holding Company. Joplin was actually just their lead singer, not the star! Janis was not a bombastic person on televised interviews. She could get out a hearty laugh but was often soft-spoken. Thanks for doing this one. I'm headed to the basement to put some old vinyl on the phonograph.

Not all of her songs were like this. This is pure emotion.

Her roots are in the blues and she is a legendary performer. Even the musicians of her time were blown away by her raw tallent.

What's astonishing is that nobody, neither us or Mama Cass might be able to see this video because the new manager of the group actually didn't know them so well to let the filmakers tape their performance. Mind changed after the unbelievably positive reaction of the crowd, so they did a second perofrmance the next day. They were the only band to perform twice in the festival.

I love how Janis digs deep. She really gets in there with her songs. It’s not about polish. She doesn’t flutter around the surface. And of course, she could REALLY sing. Janis Joplin was so one of a kind.

There’s no analyzing Janis and her pure, raw, soulful genius. Those people are so lucky to be there and witness this live. RIP Janis 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Janis gives me chills.

No auto tune, no computers, raw and unfiltered Janice tipping her heart out on the stage.

She had that rare ability to sing with all the heart and soul she could muster and leave it all out there, holding nothing back. What a talent! Thanks, enjoyed your take on the video.

This is my favourite Janis’ blues. What a pregnant concentration of genuine, aggressive feelings blowing up and down inside her truly mattered soul!

Janis isn’t about technique but about expressing pure open emotion and the blues. When she sang you could feel what she felt.

It's called singing with feel......And when you sing or play instruments with feel it becomes timeless.

Dang, I just love the blues! Janis was the blues in human form.

Expressionist. Raw and heartfelt!! No auto tune or quantizer here!!!! One of the Best! 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Monterey Pop Festival 1967. This was the very first concert I ever attended. I was 13 and this performance made me cry it it was so beautiful. First I had ever heard of her.

"That girl", the one with the sunglasses mesmerized by Joplin's singing, was 'Momma' Cass. One singer electrified by another.

"The goal (of singing) is to express yourself and to be truly uniquely you." This is especially true in rock and blues. There are many intentional "inaccuracies" in blues. Blues doesn't follow all the rules. When reading blues music in 4/4 time, it is automatically assumes that the quarters are to be played as ROUGHLY 3/16 - 1/6, with the amount of that split being determined at the band's discretion. The lead melody in a song is often played slightly off beat, coming in at just a little bit past the beat. To achieve the desired effect, bent notes or minor notes are not always played to the normally expected/mathematical pitch. Blues is a very loose (and effective) art form. Blues should not be analyzed through classical eyes. It'll make you go cross-eyed! lol

"The girl" you mention is (Mama) Cass Elliott of the Mamas and the Papas (California Dreaming, Monday, Monday). She broke out on her own and is most known for her version of "Dream A Little Dream" and "Make Your Own Kind of Music" - she died in her sleep at a hotel in London after a performance in 1974. She was just 32.

Janis sang from the soul. She described it in an interview once. She said you can't just sing it, you have to 'feel'' it. When she sang, it came from the depths of her being and it was felt by anyone who heard her.

Never have I clicked on a video so fast in my entire life. I love your reaction videos and I absolutely love Janis Joplin. This should be amazing.

This is the definition of music.

This woman was unique and incomparable. Had she changed one thing she wouldnt be Janice. Theres nothing to judge just feel.

Great reaction to a classic by Janis. Back in the day, bands had to be really good as there was no auto-tune, if you voice was bad, you didn't make it. I saw her Atlanta in 1969 and she was amazing, she put 1000% into her performance. In the 60's there were some very talented female singers, Mama Cass (Mamas&Papas), Tracy Nelson (Mother Earth), Grace Slick (Airplane), Joan Baez, Janis Ian. If you're interested, any of these ladies would be a good followup to Janis.
