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..

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!
