Yes, her fate was very sad...I haven't thought about Janis in quite some time. Really fun picture of her. The black and white imagery really works. Thanks for including the video clip.

She certainly was a sparkling talent. It sometimes seems such talent comes with tragic flaws. We've seen it happen so many times.
We can only be grateful her star shone bright, if only for a short while.

Peace, Lee

Up to a week ago , I knew very little about her beyond the iconic name ..

I decided to write about Woodstook for another contest and so I started to read about her life and listen to her music .. She was indeed a gem...she really sung from the heart ..

I hope you took time off to listen to the video I provided below in the notes ...Little Girl Blue .. which I believe is one of her less known songs .. It's very emotional.. It makes me cry but I love listening to it ..

I enjoyed reading your review ...thank you for stopping over

Keep safe humpwhistle !

I remember her and so many of these drug addicts overdose and die young, it is a tragic fact of life and it still continues today. Poignant words here, love Dolly x

Yes sadly many continue to die of overdose but very few leave a legacy like hers ..

I hope you listened to the video I provided .. Little Girl Blue sung by Joplin is a very emotional experience for both singer and viewer.



Keep safe!
