Watch Janis

Janis Joplin had a raspy voice and a lot of energy. When she sang the blues, the entire audience felt it. When she wanted to get an audience riled up, all she had to do was sing a song and she had the entire audience eating out of the palm of her hand. But Janis Joplin's life was a contrast of highs and lows. She died at a young age as the apparent victim of her own success. In order to truly understand Janis Joplin, it is necessary to look back on her life and compare the public Janis to the private version.
