Thai Jet Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 She would have been 76 today. Great singer who died of drugs (didn't a lot of them) at age 27. Been listening to her songs all morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crimson King Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I always thought of Bill Graham (the Fillmore guy) introducing BB&THC; "Four Gentlemen and One Great Great Broad" (OK different times) Bette Midler did an amazing job in a tribute movie "The Rose" for anyone who hasn't seen it. It was originally going to be more obvious who it was emulating but it was too soon after her passing to do that Joplin, Holiday, Fitzgerald and Franklin ruined female vocals forever for me (except maybe Clair Torrey's work on DSOTM and Ursula Dudziak) I often wondered where Jimi and Janis would have moved if they lived (Morrison just should not be mentioned on the same breath, sorry Doors fans). Note that the record company fired the crappy but edgy blues band she had and toned down her act with the smoother horn band of the last album and way less blues, which was where she lived. I would give a body part to gig with some one like Janis. Happy birthday lady.
