Once a week on Friday, Uncle Bardie celebrates the creativity in others by shining a Spotlight on a movie, a song or a creator. In celebration of Women’s History Month, this week’s Spotlight Song is Janis Joplin’s amazing performance of “Ball and Chain” at the Monterrey Pop Festival in 1967:
There are no words for Janis. Just seeing her leaves you stunned. What a force of nature she was.

I’d never heard of her, thanks for sharing.
I feel sorry for those who don’t know about and never heard Janis Joplin. She pulled me outside of myself.
She and James Brown could make me cry.
Oh yes, Janis!
I can see why you featured Beth Hart not long ago. She has some of the same elements as Janis.
You nailed that description.
Would love to see Janis come back and blow a lot of these so-called singers off stage.
