[post_page_title]Janis Joplin[/post_page_title]
A key figure of 60s counterculture, Janis Joplin screamed and howled a path through rock music, changing the art of vocals irrevocably, and inspiring artists for generations to come. Joplin, also known as ‘Pearl’ to her friends, was a sensitive and thoughtful soul, as seen in this photo from her last ever concert on August 12, 1970.
Audiences who went to see Joplin were entirely captivated, as her incandescent stage presence electrified audiences who had never seen or heard anything like her before.
