Janis Joplin - Summertime (Live at Winterland)

Janis Joplin with Big Brother & the Holding Co. - Summertime,
Recorded live at Winterland 1968,
Lyrics :
Summertime, time, time,
Child, the living's easy.
Fish are jumping out
And the cotton, Lord,
Cotton's high, Lord, so high.

Your daddy's rich
And your ma is so good-looking, baby.
She's looking good now,
Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,
No, no, no, no, don't you cry.
Don't you cry!

One of these mornings
You're gonna rise, rise up singing,
You're gonna spread your wings,
Child, and take, take to the sky,
Lord, the sky.

But until that morning
Honey, n-n-nothing's going to harm you now,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Don't you cry,
Cry.

little girl with a big voice, who stole our hearts when she sang.. RIP Janis

Janis put her heart and her soul into her singing. This is amazing truly majestic.

[donnalawson]

I was at this concert, it was one of the only concerts she did in the San Francisco Bay area.
She sang her heart out that night. I went into the show curious to see if she was as good as she did on her newly released album ....
Truth is she was better I walked out a diehard fan . I'm sorry we lost her so early.
She was really what she appeared to be only better.

Of course I love Janis but I also gotta say Big Brother and The Holding Company was a helluva band! All great musicians

Janis was my girl. I'd like the backing track to this. It's very creative.

[laurencaulton]

Janis owns this song. So much soul in her voice, so subtle. She's caressing this song.

[KittyGrizGriz]

Hard to believe her gorgeous; expressive voice came from such a young lady. BB&THC’s fantastic musicians; weave in and out to create this masterpiece…incredible.

[rootboycooks]

THE greatest white soul singer of ALL time. PERIOD! FULL STOP! I miss you, Janis.💙

Una mujer adelantada a su época ❤una grande❤❤la mejor🎉🎉🎉🎉oh Janis quiciera ser como vos❤

[opensourcecurrency]

The irony, of course, is that "Summertime" is literally an aria from an opera- granted it's Gershwin- but Janis the "rock" singer with an "untrained" voice delivers the most moving and powerful renditions ever heard, backed by acid electric guitar...

[amangogna]

Great song, fantastic singer and amazing band !

[timr]

I miss her bad ...its been along time...makes me cry all the time thats gone janis
