Janis was beautiful in that she took those blues she loved and made them her own

She had more soul than most whites in the business. Evidently that was good enough. I've never heard her compared to Aretha Franklin. Somebody really did that or did you just need some extreme example?:russ:
No I was using artist who were doing soul music at the time of 1960s (when Janis was around) that pioneered Soul music.

Sorry but Dusty Springfield had more "soul" than her.

They say her influence was blues music but she does not sound like these dudes either.

I'm sorry, but as an AA I f-cked with Janis Joplin's music heavy (Besides the Jewish Queen Amy Winehouse) :manny: However, "soul" is the matter of opinion. While I did enjoy her brand of music it was NOTHING compared to Aretha and the likes of her.

I dont like her music and I also was confused about her having "soul"
I talked to my pops about this myth and he said that is white folks stuff.
Then again my pops also said Jimi Hendricks was on that white folks stuff, so maybe I should ask someone else.

That whole era 60's-70's was about reinvention because so many musicians singers and bands put new life into what they.came up on...Behind all his gear and clothes Jimi was a bluesman and all the vets from Buddy Guy. to.Albert Collins loved where he was takin that thing and wanted to jam with him... Just listen to stuff like Hear My Train A Comin (Acoustic) Red House, Hey Joe, Voodoo Chile (Long Version) ..Janis had it too in Move Over, Work Me Lord, Summertime, Bobby McGhee
