Biografier

Janis Joplin was an iconic American singer-songwriter and a leading figure in the late 1960s counterculture movement. Born on January 19, 1943, in Port Arthur, Texas, Joplin rose to fame with her powerful, bluesy voice and electrifying stage presence. She first gained national attention as the lead singer of Big Brother and the Holding Company, with hits like "Piece of My Heart" and "Summertime." Kris Kristofferson’s song "Me and Bobby McGee" became a posthumous hit for Joplin in 1971. Known for her raw emotional expression and distinctive raspy vocals, Joplin's life was tragically cut short by a heroin overdose on October 4, 1970. Still, her influence on rock and blues music endures.

Kris and Janis shared a brief but memorable romance. They met through mutual friend Bobby Neuwirth in 1970 and quickly grew close. Kristofferson encouraged Joplin to record the song, "Me and Bobby McGee" which she did shortly before her death from a heroin overdose in October 1970. Kristofferson first heard her version after she died, and it was a deeply emotional experience for him. To this day, he struggles to listen to it, recalling the passion and emotion she poured into the song.

Kristofferson is an acclaimed American singer-songwriter, actor, and musician known for his contributions to country music and his rugged, soulful voice. Born on June 22, 1936, in Brownsville, Texas, Kris pursued a diverse career path, including stints as a Rhodes Scholar, a helicopter pilot, and an Army officer before dedicating himself to music.
