Janis Lyn Joplin (January 19, 1943 – October 4, 1970) was an American singer-songwriter who first
rose to fame in the late 1960s as the lead singer of the psychedelic acid-rock band Big Brother
and the Holding Company, and later as a solo artist with her own backing groups, The Kozmic Blues
Band and The Full Tilt Boogie Band.

Her first ever large scale public performance was at the Monterey Pop Festival; this led her to
becoming very popular and one of the major attractions at the Woodstock festival and the "Festival
Express Train" tour.

Joplin charted five singles; other popular songs include: "Down on Me"; "Summertime"; "Piece of My Heart"; "Ball 'n' Chain"; "Maybe"; "To Love Somebody"; "Kozmic Blues"; "Work Me, Lord"; "Cry Baby";
"Mercedes Benz"; and her only number one hit, "Me and Bobby McGee".

Joplin was well known for her performing ability and was a multi instrumentalist. Her fans referred
to her stage presence as "electric"; at the height of her career, she was known as "The Queenof
Psychedelic Soul".

Known as "Pearl" among her friends, she was also a painter, dancer and music arranger. Rolling
Stone ranked Joplin number 46 on its list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time in 2004 and number
28 on its 2008 list of 100 Greatest Singers of All Time. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame in 1995.
