I pine for the female singers of the past....

Janice was absolutely galvanizing-- IMO the best white blues singer of all time.

We were on the same bill as she at the Atlantic City Pop Festival in 1968. That's a whole interesting story in itself. But all the acts socialized after their sets in the jockey's quarters, where there was a live feed from the stage. When Janis came on and started to sing, the whole room stopped what they were doing to listen.

Ultimately she was a tragic figure. But during the few years she was performing, there was nothing like it.
