Well, honestly, a lot of that type
of "chicks" entertained me more than Janis, She wasn't the
only one with problems, but she was the first white hippie, out of control
screamer that got promoted big time. I just never thought
she could sing.
She made at least three of Jerry Ragavoy's song live again,
but having come of age with the originals by the Black artists
who first recorded them like Howard Tate, Erma Franklin &
Garnet Mimms, I just thought it was undisciplined emotional flailing.
(I hope Myth isn't viewing this; I do enjoy being here).
