9. Janis Joplin
Janis Joplin was an incredible artist, who gave an incredible boost to the music industry in general. Most of us were born too late to experience firsthand the effervescence of the decades following WWII, during which artists were pioneering and experimenting with their tunes.
If you get to know the musical background of the period in which Janis performed, the song “Piece of My Heart” is defining.
Unfortunately, Janis died from a drug overdose at the height of her career. Cheap Thrills might be Sia’s latest songs, but the name was first used to label the second album produced by Janis Joplin and her band – Holding Company.
