One of the first singers to really reach deep down inside my gut and move me, and still one of my all time favorites. Hard to name a single favorite, but some that come to mind at this particular moment
Piece of My Heart - off Cheap Thrills. I remember the first time I heard it on the radio (first Janis exposure).
Summertime and Ball & Chain - off Live at Winterland
All is Loneliness - off Big Brother and the Holding Company
Get it While You Can (with Full Tilt Boogie) - off In Concert
Trouble in Mind - from The Typewriter Tape
My affection for Janis grew even stronger when Darling Wife (who was then just a really, really interesting person posting on a roadster forum) made comments about how much honesty Janis poured into her music...... I replied saying the she was WAY too young for her taste in music - and our relationship was built from there.
