«Stayin' stoned, got enough water, place to sleep. I'd say the 3 essentials to a very happy life.» Janis Lyn Joplin (January 19, 1943 – October 4, 1970) was an American singer, songwriter and music arranger. Joplin's extraordinary success as a pioneer in a male-dominated rock industry of the late 1960s was unprecedented. She opened opportunities into the rock music business for future female singers. "Piece of My Heart" is a song written by Jerry Ragovoy and Bert Berns and originally recorded by Aretha Franklin's older sister, Erma Franklin in 1967. The song became a bigger pop hit when recorded by Big Brother and the Holding Company in 1968, with lead singer Janis Joplin. The song was taken from the group's album Cheap Thrills. This cover version made it to number twelve on the U.S. pop chart.
