Despite her short life, today Janis Joplin remains one of the most widely-known and widely respected rock singers of all-time. More than 31 million copies of her albums have been sold worldwide. Most of those sold after her death and as compilations. Perhaps more than any other singer in history, she is the epitome of the free-spirited hippie who represented her era so darn well. That said, she never really fit into any category. Her style and her voice were incredibly unique and authentic. Her fans have always easily connected with her, first and foremost, because she was…real…she was them. She was a powerful voice for the underdogs…the freaks….the outcasts…and I’d say nearly all of us can relate to that. Even today, Janis Joplin remains a breath of fresh air.
