Psychedelic rock, blues, soul

Janis Lyn Joplin (/ˈdʒɒplɪn/; January 19, 1943 – October 4, 1970) was an influential American singer of the 1960s; her raw, powerful and uninhibited singing style, combined with her turbulent and emotional lifestyle, made her one of the biggest female stars in her lifetime. She died of an accidental drug overdose in 1970, aged 27, after releasing three albums (including two with Big Brother & The Holding Company). A fourth album, Pearl, was released a little more than three months after her death, reaching number 1 on the charts.
