Janis Joplin

Janis Joplin and Scott Joplin are not directly related; they belong to different musical genres and eras. Scott Joplin was a composer and pianist known for his ragtime music in the early 20th century, while Janis Joplin was a rock and blues singer prominent in the 1960s. Both are influential figures in American music, but their connection is primarily through their shared last name and their impact on the music industry.

There is no direct relation between Janis Joplin and Scott Joplin. Janis Joplin was a famous rock singer in the 1960s known for her bluesy voice, while Scott Joplin was a renowned composer and pianist in the early 20th century, often referred to as the "King of Ragtime." Despite sharing a last name and both being influential in American music history, there is no known familial connection between the two.

Well, honey, Janis Joplin's favorite food was reportedly Southern comfort food like fried chicken and bourbon. But let's be real, the girl loved to party and probably ate whatever was within arm's reach while belting out those soulful tunes. So, pass the fried chicken and crank up the music, darling!

Red and White. But she also liked Purple and Black.

No, Janis Joplin had many lovers but never became pregnant.

Southern Comfort. "Southern Comfort (often abbreviated in English to SoCo) is a fruit, spice and whiskey flavored American liquer made from neutral spirits and produced since 1874, though not continuously and not always by the modern formula"

The Jimi Hendrix Experience did indeed play Red Rocks Amphitheater on Sept. 1st 1968! Along with Vanilla Fudge, Soft Machine and Hendrix blew the sky wide open with their music a very special night!

Short answer: No.

The current Wikipedia article about Red Rocks incorrectly says Jimi played at Red Rocks in 1969. Although Jimi played at the Denver Pop Festival in 1969, he did not play at Red Rocks that year, or any other.

Don't know for sure but on her collection album "Love Janis" (which inludes readings of her personal letters to her family) it says that she was diagnosed with ling cancer.

No Janis never sang The Rose! It is a song that was wrote for a movie about JJ which originally was to be called Pearl which was JJ's nickname but her parents would not give permission to write about her and make the movie The original singer Bette Midler recorded the song which was written by Amanda McBroom in 1979 9 years after the death of Janis Joplin!!

Here are two highlights of Janis Joplin's career:

1. The release of her album Pearl. This was her most successful album and stayed number one on music charts for nine consecutive weeks.

2. Her decision to leave the band Big Brother.

That's all I know, I hope it helps!

The last recordings Joplin completed were "Mercedes Benz" and a birthday greeting for John Lennon ("Happy Trails", composed by Dale Evans) on October 1, 1970. Lennon, whose birthday was October 9, later told Dick Cavett that her taped greeting arrived at his home after her death. On Saturday, October 3, Joplin visited the Sunset Sound Studios in Los Angeles to listen to the instrumental track for Nick Gravenites' song "Buried Alive In The Blues" prior to recording the vocal track, scheduled for the next day. When she failed to show up at the studio by Sunday afternoon, producer Paul Rothchild became concerned. Full Tilt Boogie's road manager, John Cooke, drove to the Landmark Motor Hotel (since renamed the Highland Gardens Hotel) where Joplin had been a guest since August 24. He saw Joplin's psychedelically painted Porsche still in the parking lot. Upon entering her room, he found her dead on the floor. The official cause of death was an overdose of heroin, possibly combined with the effects of alcohol.

Yes, I saw her there with the original Big Brother & the Holding Company. She even bumped into me that night! It was '68 or '69, I was 14 or 15. When I got there, the room was already filled with people, standing, waiting for the show. The band's instruments & gear was already on stage, set & ready to play. By my arriving late, I was too late to get a good spot to see the stage from, I had to stand in the very rear of the crowd, stretching & craning to get a view of the stage. But, fortunately, this bad location I was standing in, turned out to be a blessing in disguise, cause as I was standing there, feeling bad that I couldn't see the stage very well, someone nudged me from behind, as they were working their way from the back of the crowd, to get to the stage. It was Big Brother & the Holding Company! They had entered the venue from the front entrance, & were making their way through the crowd, to the stage. They moved in single file, with Janis being in the middle. Each one, including Janis, laid their hands on me, giving me a nudge of approval as they passed me. Janis even laughed, in her unmistakable cackle. Two things that amazed me most about this incredible encounter, was how short & small they were! They weren't that much bigger than I was. And secondly, how enormous their hair was. Especially Janis! They reminded me of the character from the Adam's Family named Cousin It. LOL Little people with enormous hair! They did there usual set, Janis played her percussion rasp on a few numbers, and the guitar player & bass player switched instruments for a couple numbers. The place was packed! It was a fantastic night! peace & love...

Janis Joplin had an apartment in the famous hippie enclave, the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood. The address is 122 Lyon Street.

Yes, she did. Her version of the song is called "The Roller Skate Song", and Melanie's version of the song is called "Brand New Key".

The below answer is very ignorant. Janis Joplin was not just a "crazy hippie that did loads...of drugs"; she was also a feminist, pacifist, and equal rights activist. She was a product of her time, meaning that since she was of the 1960s, and believed strongly in the hippie counterculture movement, she experimented and became addicted to drugs. However, her music is often interpreted as feminist. Good examples are the songs "Ball and Chain" and "Woman Left Lonely. They portray women as men's tools of lust and misuse and push women to stop being held down by their man. Listen to them yourselves and interpret them your way.

Dusty Springfield never won a Grammy, however her album DUSTY IN MEMPHIS (Atlantic Records 1969) is enshrined in the Grammy Hall Of Fame as one of the best ever albums.

White Rabbit was recorded by Grace Slick of the Jefferson Airplane. I never could figure out that name, there is no aircraft manufacturer called Jefferson, Douglas, Boeing, Lockheed, sure, no Jeffs.

Herpes, Clamydia, Sphillis, Gonnerhea, Gential Warts.

No, Scott Joplin was only a child when Joplin Missouri was founded. The city named after a nearby creek which was in turn named after Reverend Harris G. Joplin.
