Piece Of My Heart

Maybe that's back to the Janis Joplin.

And that's what I was going to say is nothing makes me happier than to get up there and sing Peace of My Heart by Janis Joplin.

I mean, she just was beautiful.

one of my favorite artists growing up.

First up is Otis singing an original before Aretha Franklin took it to number one and made it her own.

And then we'll follow that up with Aretha's sister, Erma Franklin, singing the original version of Piece of My Heart before Janis Joplin claimed it to be hers.

Enjoy.

[upbeat music] What you want, honey, you've got it.

But with all the love I give you, it's never enough.

But I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.

So go on, go on, go on, go on, go on and take another little piece of my heart now, baby.

Break it.

ready? Yes, I'm ready.

Which singer had hits with Peace of My Heart and Me and Bobby McGee?

Raspy voice.

Janis Joplin? Yeah.

Doc, a voice lost in 1970.

Janis Joplin, the voice that tore through Piece of My Heart, died of a heroin overdose in a Hollywood hotel at 27 midway through recording her album Pearl.

It went to number one without her.

Her Texas campus paper had called it years before.

They did a couple covers.

The one they sang, uh, I think it was a cover of Janis Joplin's Piece of My Heart.

And-

Yeah

who are Dasha Servi, Danielle Green, Annika Pace, and Ember Tate Steele.

Of course, it features Joplin's iconic hits, including Peace of My Heart, Me and Bobby McGee, and Try Just a Little Bit Harder, and more.

the players, the play, the production.

As Grace Slick of the Jefferson Airplane and Timothy Leary of LSD fame and others are said to have said, if you remember the 60s, you weren't really there, meaning that the 1960s were so intense socially, politically, musically, and chemically that anyone who lived through the era wouldn't have a neat, sober, orderly memory of it.

is meaningful for a pic

gonna cluster the next four songs in these are all songs that i heard constantly over and over and over again in my house and three of these four are opening tracks of their record or the record that i had at home listening to it on so we have uh still crazy after all these years from paul simon We have Big Brother and Holding Company, which is Janis Joplin, Peace of My Heart.

We have You May Be Right by Billy Joel, and I went out of order because I wanted to get all the track ones in.

You May Be Right was, I think, track one for the greatest hits.

It's My Party is on there.

What else you've got? You've got Cricket Song, Don't Ever Change, Peace of My Heart, Irma Franklin, and Big Brother and that lot did it as well, didn't they? Peace of My Heart.

Yes, they

did.
