Happy birthday Janis Joplin

Posted on by

Janis Joplin is one of my favorite singers. She would’ve been 82 years old today. The first song I’ve ever heard from her was her famous 1969’s Kozmic Blues. She was introduced to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995. Rolling Stone ranked her number 46 on its 2004 list of the “100 Greatest Artists of All Time” and number 28 on its 2008 list of the “100 Greatest Singers of All Time”.

Janis Joplin in 1970 with long, wavy hair reaching past her shoulders. She is smiling gently, looking directly at the camera. She is wearing a patterned blouse with flared, ruffled sleeves. Her hands rest on her hips, and she wears long necklaces that drape over her top. The background is plain and unobtrusive, putting focus on the subject.

Rest in peace, she passed away in 1970, years before I was even born. I would’ve loved to attend one of her concerts watching the beautiful lady singing. I may not be able to see her live in concert, but I still can enjoy her musics.

Happy birthday Janis Joplin and thanks for sharing your art.
