Janis Joplin
When thinking of Woodstock, a name that immediately comes to mind is none other than the powerhouse blues singer Janis Joplin. A household name in the house of rock, Joplin began her career singing for psychedelic rock group Big Brother and the Holding Company. With a voice that yields so much power and yet so much vulnerability at the same time, Joplin possesses one of the most unmistakable voices in Rock n’ Roll. Passing of a heroin dose just a couple of weeks after the death of legendary musician Jimi Hendrix, Joplin’s departure would once again shock and devastate the music world.
