Did Janis Joplin ever sing Son of a Preacher Man?

Answer 1

She may have performed this song but its originally a song by Dusty Springfield.

No hun who ever wrote that she did has no knowledge of musical history. Janis DID not sing Son of a Preacher Man.

She also did not sing

- The Rose

- Entertainer

- White Rabbit

- Brand New Key

- Ragtime

- Leaving on a Jet Plane

- Scarlet Begonias

There is a song making the rounds purporting to be Janis singing the song "Scarlet Begonias" with The Grateful Dead. She never sang with the Dead. However the song in question is the Grateful Dead and is from their "Dick's Picks" series of music CDs, volume 6, disc 2 of 3, recorded live on 1983-10-14 at the Hartford Civic Center, Hartford, Ct.

And never recorded with Bob Dylan. There is also another song out there claiming to be sung by: Hendrix, Joplin, and Morrison but they never sang together.

You said..

"She never sang with the Dead."

Rock-n-roll Festival Express, she did sing along side of the Greatful Dead.

From June 28 to July 4, 1970, Joplin and Full Tilt joined the all-star Festival Express tour through Canada, performing alongside the Grateful Dead, Delaney and Bonnie, Rick Danko and The Band, Eric Andersen and Ian and Sylvia.[6] They played concerts in Toronto, Winnipeg and Calgary.
