The voice, the music, the legend: A NIGHT WITH JANIS JOPLIN as she shares her inspirations, her story, and the gift that was her talent. From her humble beginnings in Port Arthur, Texas to worldwide stardom, we hear from Janis herself as she reminisces on how music became the love of her life: a love instilled by her mother and nurtured by the greats including Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Bessie Smith, and Nina Simone. Told through a series of songs by the Chantels and Joplinaires, duets with those masters of the blues and featuring Janis’s biggest hits “Piece of My Heart,” “Me and Bobby McGee,” and more.
