Janis (Lyn) Joplin Biography (1943 - 1970) Singer, songwriter. Born on January 19, 1943, in Port Arthur, Texas. A rock legend, Janis Joplin was known for her powerful, blues-influenced vocals. Growing up in a small Texas town, she gravitated toward blues and jazz music and was inspired by such artists as Bessie Smith and Ma Rainey. Joplin became playing small gigs in Texas, California, and New York. Joplin moved to San Francisco in 1966 and became a part of the group known as Big Brother and the Holding Company. The group was part of the burgeoning San Francisco music scene of the late 1960s, which also included such bands as the Grateful Dead. It was not long before Big Brother and the Holding Company developed quite a following in the area. Their appearance at the now legendary Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 brought them wider acclaim. They released their first self-titled album in 1968, but it was their second album was a huge hit. The wildly successful Cheap Thrills (1968) featured “Piece of My Heart” and “Ball and Chain.” These songs helped cement Joplin’s reputation as a unique and dynamic bluesy rock singer. Leaving to pursue a solo career, Joplin recorded with other bands playing back up. Her first solo effort, I Got Dem Ol’ Kozmic Blues Again Mama! (1969), with Kozmic Blues Band, received mixed reviews. Some of the recording’s most memorable songs were “Try (Just a Little Bit Harder)” and “To Love Somebody,” a cover of a Bee Gees’ tune. Outside of music, Joplin appeared to be struggling with alcohol and drugs, including an addiction to heroin. Unfortunately, Joplin’s next album would be her most successful, but also her last. She recorded Pearl (1971) with the Full Tilt Boogie Band and wrote two of its songs, the powerful, rocking “Move Over” and “Mercedes Benz,” a gospel-styled send-up of consumerism. After a long struggle with drugs, Joplin died from an accidental heroin overdose on October 4, 1970 at a hotel in Hollywood. Pearl was released the next year and quickly became a hit. The single “Me and Bobby McGee,” which was written by Kris Kristofferson, reached the top of the charts. Despite her untimely death, Joplin’s songs continue to win new fans and inspire other performers. Numerous collections of her songs have been released over the years, including In Concert (1971) and Box of Pearls (1999). In recognition of her accomplishments, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995 and received a posthumous Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammy Awards in 2005. A powerful female rock performer and a colorful personality, Joplin has been the subject of many books and documentaries, including Love, Janis (1992) written by her sister Laura Joplin. That book has been turned into a play by the same title. There are also reports of two different film versions of her life are in works.

The undisputed queen sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, Janis Joplin broke into the boys club and out of the stifling good-girl feminity of post-war America. With her incredible wall-of-sound vocals, Janis Joplin was the voice of a generation. There is Janis the lesbian, the misfit, the rebel, the conformer, the junky, the drinker, the genius and the lonely woman. This moving documentary shows that she constructed many of these images herself as coats of armour to help her cope and protect a vulnerable self. The wild clothes and living, even her 'cackling' laugh were but tools to divert the truth. The real Janis remained unseen by most, glimpsed by only a few. Video footage recorded by John Cooke, road manager of the band Big Brother And The Holding Company, gives a rare glimpse of Janis away from the stage and the media. Janis Joplin was one of the most influential musical artists of the 20th century, and an important figure of the 1960s rock 'n' roll era. Emerging from the conservative and racially divided world of the 1950s, Joplin arrived on the counter-culture scene of the 1960s as a rebellious soul with an unconventional attitude towards sex, drugs, and music. Joplin achieved her initial fame as the lead singer of Big Brother and the Holding Company. Borrowing from African-American blues music, Joplin performed with an unbridled passion that had never been seen from a white, female artist. She defied society's stringent expectations of women's dress and behavior, and her wild-child style redefined the image of the female artist. Within a year of her initial success, Joplin moved on to form the Kozmic Blues Band, taking on a more bluesy, funky sound. Joplin and her new band made history for their performance at the 1969 Woodstock Music & Art Fair in upstate New York-a festival that is now considered to be one of the most pivotal moments in contemporary music history. Two years later, Joplin moved on again, this time forming the Full-Tilt Boogie band. It was during this time that Joplin produced her last record, Pearl. The album included the track "Mercedes Benz," a social commentary on materialism that would become a popular single. It would also be the last song that Joplin ever recorded. Shortly before the album was released, on October 4, 1970, Joplin died of a heroin overdose at the Landmark Motor Hotel in Los Angeles, California. She was only 27 years old at the time of her death. Pearl hit record stores in February of 1971. The posthumous work became the best-selling album of Joplin's career, and featured her biggest hit single, "Me and Bobby McGee." But the album would hardly be the end of Joplin's musical legacy. Her innovative style continues to influence thousands of musicians as well as inspire films, plays and songs about her life. A BBC / A&E Network Co-Production ( 2000 ) - Note - This documentary has aired in the UK BBC "Reputations" - series under title "Southern Discomfort - Janis Joplin".
