engineer at Texaco and Dorothy ne East Joplin 191398 a registrar at a business college She had two younger siblings Michael and Laura The family attended the Church of Christ The Joplins felt that Janis always needed more attention than their other children with her mother stating She was unhappy and unsatisfied without receiving a lot of attention The normal rapport wasn t adequate As a teenager she befriended a group of outcasts one of whom had albums by African American blues artists Bessie Smith and Leadbelly whom Joplin later credited with influencing her decision to become a singer She began singing in the local choir and expanded her listening to blues singers such as Odetta and Big Mama Thornton Primarily a painter while still in school she first began singing blues and folk music with friends While at Thomas Jefferson High School she stated that she was mostly shunned Joplin was quoted as saying I was a misfit I read I painted I didn t hate niggers As a teen she became overweight and her skin broke out so badly she was left with deep scars which required dermabrasion Other kids at high school would routinely taunt her and call her names like pig freak or creep Joplin graduated from high school in 1960 and attended Lamar State College of Technology in Beaumont Texas during the summer and later the University of Texas at Austin though she did not complete her studies The campus newspaper ran a profile of her in 1962 headlined She Dares To Be Different Cultivating a rebellious manner Joplin styled herself in part after her female blues heroines and in part after the Beat poets Her very first song recorded on tape at the home of a fellow student in December 1962 was What Good Can Drinkin Do She left Texas for San Francisco in 1963 living in North Beach and later Haight Ashbury In 1964 Joplin and future Jefferson Airplane guitarist Jorma Kaukonen recorded a number of blues standards further accompanied by Margareta Kaukonen on typewriter as percussion instrument This session included seven tracks Typewriter Talk Trouble In Mind Kansas City Blues Hesitation Blues Nobody Knows You When You re Down and Out Daddy Daddy Daddy and Long Black Train Blues and was later released as the bootleg album The Typewriter Tape Around this time her drug use increased and she acquired a reputation as a speed freak and occasional heroin user She also used other psychoactive drugs and was a heavy drinker throughout her career her trademark beverage was Southern Comfort In the spring of 1965 Joplin s friends noticing the physical effects of her amphetamine habit she was described as skeletal and emaciated persuaded her to return to Port Arthur Texas In May 1965 Joplin s friends threw her a bus fare party so she could return home Back in Port Arthur she changed her lifestyle She avoided drugs and alcohol began wearing relatively modest dresses adopted a beehive hairdo and enrolled as a sociology major at Lamar University in nearby Beaumont Texas During her year at Lamar University she commuted to Austin to perform solo accompanying herself on guitar One of her performances was reviewed in the Austin American Statesman Joplin became engaged to a man who visited her wearing a blue serge suit to ask her father for her hand in marriage but the man terminated plans for the marriage soon after Big Brother and the Holding Company 19661968 Main article Big Brother and the Holding Company In 1966 Joplin s bluesy vocal style attracted the attention of the psychedelic rock band Big Brother and the Holding Company a band that had gained some renown among the nascent hippie community in Haight Ashbury She was recruited to join the group by Chet Helms a promoter who had known her in Texas and who at the time was managing Big Brother Joplin joined Big Brother on June 4 1966 Her first public performance with them was at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco Due to persistent persuading by keyboardist and close friend Stephen Ryder Joplin avoided drug use for several weeks enjoining bandmate Dave Getz to promise that using needles would not be allowed in their rehearsal space or in the communal apartment where they lived When a visitor to the apartment injected drugs in front of Joplin she angrily reminded Getz that he had broken his promise A San Francisco concert from that summer was recorded and released in the 1984 album Cheaper Thrills On August 23 1966 during a four week engagement in Chicago the group signed a deal with independent label Mainstream Records They recorded tracks in a Chicago recording studio but the label owner Bob Shad refused to pay their airfare back to San Francisco Shortly after the five band members drove from Chicago to Northern California with very little money they moved with the Grateful Dead to a house in Lagunitas California It was there that Joplin relapsed into hard drugs In early 1967 Joplin met Country Joe McDonald of the group Country Joe and the Fish The pair lived together as a couple for a few months Joplin and Big Brother began playing clubs in San Francisco at the Fillmore West Winterland and the Avalon Ballroom They also played at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles as well as in Seattle Washington and Vancouver British Columbia the Psychedelic Supermarket in Boston Massachusetts and the Golden Bear Club in Huntington Beach California The band s debut album was released by Columbia Records in August 1967 shortly after the group s breakthrough appearance in June at the Monterey Pop Festival Two songs from Big Brother s set at Monterey were filmed Combination of the Two and a version of Big Mama Thornton s Ball and Chain appeared in D A Pennebaker s documentary Monterey Pop The film captured Cass Elliot in the crowd silently mouthing Wow That s really heavy during Joplin s performance In November 1967 the group parted ways with Chet Helms and signed with top artist manager Albert Grossman Up to this point Big Brother had performed mainly in California but had gained national prominence with their Monterey performance On February 16 1968 the group began its first East Coast tour in Philadelphia and the following day gave their first performance in New York City at the Anderson Theater On April 7 1968 the last day of their East Coast tour Joplin and Big Brother performed with Jimi Hendrix Buddy Guy Joni Mitchell Richie Havens Paul Butterfield and Elvin Bishop at the Wake for Martin Luther King Jr concert in New York During the spring of 1968 Joplin and Big Brother made their nationwide television debut on The Dick Cavett Show an ABC daytime variety show hosted by Dick Cavett Later she made three appearances on the primetime Cavett program During this time the band was billed as Janis Joplin and Big Brother and the Holding Company although the media coverage given to Joplin incurred resentment among the other members of the band The other members of Big Brother thought that Joplin was on a star trip while others were telling Joplin that Big Brother was a terrible band and that she ought to dump them TIME magazine called Joplin probably the most powerful singer to emerge from the white rock movement and Richard Goldstein in Vogue magazine wrote that Joplin was the most staggering leading woman in rock she slinks like tar scowls like war clutching the knees of a final stanza begging it not to leave Janis Joplin can sing the chic off any listener Big Brother s second album Cheap Thrills featured a cover design by counterculture cartoonist Robert Crumb Although Cheap Thrills sounded as if it was mostly live only one track Ball and Chain was actually recorded live the rest of the tracks were studio recordings The album had a raw quality including the sound of a cocktail glass breaking and the broken shards being swept away during the song Turtle Blues With the documentary film Monterey Pop released in late 1968 the album launched Joplin s successful albeit short musical career Cheap Thrills which gave the band a breakthrough hit single Piece of My Heart reached the number one spot on the Billboard charts eight weeks after its release remaining for eight nonconsecutive weeks The album was certified gold at release and sold over a million copies in the first month of its release Live at Winterland 68 recorded at the Winterland Ballroom on April 12 and 13 1968 featured Joplin and Big Brother and the Holding Company at the height of their mutual career working through a selection of tracks from their albums The band made another East Coast tour during Julyugust 1968 performing at the Columbia Records convention in Puerto Rico and the Newport Folk Festival After returning to San Francisco for two hometown shows at the Palace of Fine Arts Festival on August 31 and September 1 Joplin announced that she would be leaving Big Brother The group continued touring through the fall and Joplin gave her last official performance with Big Brother at a Family Dog benefit on December 1 1968 Solo career 19691970 Kozmic Blues Band After splitting from Big Brother Joplin formed a new backup group the Kozmic Blues Band The band was influenced by the Stax Volt Rhythm and Blues bands of the 1960s as exemplified by Otis Redding and the Bar Kays who were major musical influences on Joplin The Stax Volt R B sound was typified by the use of horns and had a more bluesy funky soul pop oriented sound than most of the hard rock psychedelic bands of the period By early 1969 Joplin was addicted to heroin allegedly shooting at least 200 worth of heroin per day although efforts were made to keep her clean during the recording of I Got Dem Ol Kozmic Blues Again Mama Gabriel Mekler who produced the Kozmic Blues told publicist turned biographer Myra Friedman after Joplin s death that the singer had lived in his house during the June 1969 recording sessions at his insistence so he could keep her away from drugs and her drug using friends The Kozmic Blues album released in September 1969 was certified gold later that year but did not match the success of Cheap Thrills Reviews of the new group were mixed Some music critics including Ralph Gleason of the San Francisco Chronicle were negative Gleason wrote that the new band was a drag and that Joplin should scrap her new band and go right back to being a member of Big Brother if they ll have her Other reviewers such as reporter Carl Bernstein of the Washington Post generally ignored the flaws and devoted entire articles to celebrating the singer s magic Joplin and the Kozmic Blues Band toured North America and Europe throughout 1969 appearing at Woodstock in August By most accounts Woodstock was not a happy affair for Joplin Faced with a ten hour wait after arriving at the festival she shot heroin and was drinking alcohol so by the time she hit the stage she was three sheets to the wind Joplin also had problems at Madison Square Garden where as she told rock journalist David Dalton the audience watched and listened to every note she sang with Is she gonna make it in their eyes Joplin s performance was not included in the documentary film Woodstock although the 25th anniversary director s cut of Woodstock includes her performance of Work Me Lord At the end of the year the group broke up Their final gig with Joplin was at Madison Square Garden in New York City on the night of December 1920 1969 Full Tilt Boogie Band In February 1970 Joplin traveled to Brazil where she stopped her drug and alcohol use She was accompanied on vacation there by her friend Linda Gravenites who had designed the singer s stage costumes from 1966 to 1969 Joplin was romanced by an American schoolteacher named David George Niehaus who was traveling around the world They were photographed by the press at Carnival in Rio de Janeiro Gravenites also took photographs of the two during their Brazilian vacation and they appeared to be a carefree happy healthy young couple having a great time Joplin began using heroin again when she returned to the United States Her relationship with Niehaus soon ended because of the drugs her relationship with Peggy Caserta and refusal to take some time off work and travel the world with him Around this time she formed her new band the Full Tilt Boogie Band The band was composed mostly of young Canadian musicians and featured an organ but no horn section Joplin took a more active role in putting together the Full Tilt Boogie Band than she did with her prior group She was quoted as saying It s my band Finally it s my band The Full Tilt Boogie Band began touring in May 1970 Joplin remained quite happy with her new group which received mostly positive feedback from both her fans and the critics Prior to beginning a summer tour with Full Tilt Boogie she performed in a reunion with Big Brother at the Fillmore West in San Francisco on April 4 1970 Recordings from this concert were included in an in concert album released posthumously in 1972 She again appeared with Big Brother on April 12
