When she took the stage, nobody knew who she was. When she left the stage, EVERYBODY knew who she was.

But then, just 3 years later, it was all over ....

Another great job, Fil ...

Anyone who can make Mama Cass look on in awe is really someone special.

Janis always brings tears to my eyes with her sincerity in her vocals. Just brilliant.

She sang with real emotion and heartbreak. Real pain. The pop princesses of today sing songs about breakups and they feel nothing. In that era of music, people let loose. They gave great performances and got paid little. Today they get paid a lot (Ariana Grande made 8 million playing two concerts at Coachella this year. Taylor Swift's tour raked in 270 million for her) but their performances are plastic and artificial. You feel nothing from them. 50 years from now, they will barely be remembered. Janis will always be remembered and rediscovered over and over again.

Cass Elliot was never more beautiful than when taking this purely unselfish joy in how great another singer was -- a singer who was a rival to her in the music charts of the time.

Something so touching about her. Something example of one of a kind, for better or worse, is digging so deep inside herself to make that Really? You tell me: WHO ELSE IS EVEN REMOTELY LIKE HER?

[jazzcat]

She was in a class all by herself, such emotion and dynamic phrasing!!! Such a break though artist, too bad she left us so soon😔

I am so fortunate to have seen Janis Joplin in concert in San Diego when I was 17 (I'm 67 now) and I will never forget it! She was and always will be one of a kind.

The Queen of RAW vocals, deep soul and blues🎤🎵🎶🎶

[LoriannSmithsanpell]

She truly sings and feels the music from head to toe. She put all of herself into her performance, and you can see it when the camera caught her feet nearly jumping out of her shoes.

[kathleenstewart]

The one and only Janis. No one, no one compares to her. She was amazing. And Cass Elliot would be a good one to analyze too. Another amazing talent.

[freebird]

There will never be another style like Joplin’s!
She was OUTSTANDING!!

[annemickelson]

How lucky we are to be able to view such performances at will.
Rock on Janis.

My friend, the look of joy and wonderment on your face when you evaluate these classics and legends is priceless.
You are truly passionate about music and singers and you are always 100% accurate in your observations and critiques.
Keep up the fantastic work and don't ever change a thing about your routine.
Lots of love from America !!!

Yeah... Cass Elliot's facial expression says it all. Loved her when she was with us...still love her. Thanks for this!

A number of years ago, I participated in an internet discussion about music. One poster wondered why anyone would listen to Janis Joplin, because he found her voice grating. My response was that she made you _feel_ it, and indeed she gave you a piece of her heart rather than the peace of her heart...

[ernestconnell]

In my opinion, this is the greatest single performance by any female, captured on film, and just maybe by any performer. Forget perfect pitch. Rock!

[stephenkeefer]

Good vocalists sing from the heart. Janis sang straight from her soul. Raw, pure.

[bekind]

Janis said, "You have to be true to yourself!" (something like that) I agree 100%!!! There will never be another singer like her, she was one of a kind! ✌✌😎✌✌

[Guardducks]

Her heart was filled with pain and she sang with that pain and emotion . That's what made her so unique.
