__** Janis Joplin **__

Known for her powerful, blues- inspired vocals, Janis Lyn Joplin was a Texan that had a passion for music and singing. She was born on January 19, 1943 in Port Arthur, Texas. Growing up, her parents (Dorothy and Seth) felt as though Janis needed some extra attention then her other siblings (FUN FACT). When she attended Thomas Jefferson High School, she knew she was an outcast because "I was a misfit. I read, I painted, I thought. I didn't hate n...." Her and her friends growing up, loved to listen to folk, blues, and jazz. She graduated in 1960 and attended Lamar State College of Technology and then the University of Texas at Austin. Also known as the "First Lady of Rock 'n' Roll", Janis' singing career did not take take off until the year 1966, when she joined an acid rock band called Big Brother and the Holding Company. After releasing a hit called //Cheap Thrills,// the friction between Janis and the band made her part ways. The saying, you can always find a positive in a negative, was really true for Janis; she released her first Solo in 1969 called, //I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!// Allowing for herself to have her name get spread. She recorded her second project, Pearl, which end up being her most successful and also her last. Sadly, Janis struggled with drugs and died on October 4th of 1970 from an accidental heroin overdose in a Hollywood Hotel. She recorded //Pearl// with the Full Tilt Boogie Band; when she died, her producer released the album in 1971 and it became an instant hit. Despite her death, her music continues to inspire generations of singers and music and attracts new fans. In 1995, she was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and was honored with a Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammy Awards in 2005.

Lyrics "Piece Of My Heart" Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on!

Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man - yeah! An' didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can ? Honey, you know I did! And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I've had enough, But I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.

I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it, Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby! Oh, oh, break it! Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, oh, have a! Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, You know you got it if it makes you feel good, Oh, yes indeed.

You're out on the streets looking good, And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain't right, Never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at night, Babe, and I cry all the time! But each time I tell myself that I, well I can't stand the pain, But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again.

I'll say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it! Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby. Oh, oh, break it! Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, Oh, oh, have a! Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.

I need you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it, Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby! Oh, oh, break it! Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, c'mon now. Oh, oh, have a Have another little piece of my heart now, baby. You know you got it - whoahhhhh!!

Take it! Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby, Oh, oh, break it! Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh, oh, have a Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, hey, You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.
