I picked up Cheap Thrills a few weeks ago for $1 at a record store. This song at the end of side 2 just makes you want to flip it over and play it again!

There have been very, very few female singers who have the deep, emotional involvement in their singing as Janis. She makes you feel the soul of every song she sang. A true legend.

Agreed. She is the epitome of this. Aretha, Janis, Ella, Joni. I had a thing for Norah Jones and Amy Lee in late 90's, early 2000's, and Linda Ronstadt when I was in my Laurel Canyon/Gram Parsons phase, but these women really tore it up at a level rarely seen except through sheer artistry..
