Maybe someone has seen the portrait of Janis Joplin on ARTE. I am more than once a shiver run down his spine. Especially with the live recordings from Monterrey. She died on October 4, 1970 in Los Angelos on a Mixture of alcohol and drugs. Namely, during the recording of "Pearl". The album was released posthumously and became her most successful album. From this huge success Janis Joplin had so unfortunately nothing more. When she died, she was just going to come right back to his feet. It will always remain speculation, which this unique voice can "bless", "white blues" we still have.
