Did Janis Joplin ever sing Son of a Preacher Man?
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

- Entertainer

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.
