1 per week - P!nk live @ Today Show

I'm so sorry, for my absense these days.
This month will be a bit hard to share with you music because I'm going to be on holidays away from home a few days. But, I will try to share whenever I can.

My choice for this week '1 per week' is a cover from the music Me and Bobby Mcgee - a huge success - from Janis Japlin by P!nk - the third time's a charm eheheh.
"Me and Bobby McGee is a song written by Kris Kristofferson and Fred Foster, originally performed by Roger Miller, and later by others including Kristofferson himself, and also Janis Joplin."

I think you can't compare Janis and P!nk, because they have different styles.  Although, I think this cover is pretty good and P!nk did an excellent job - acknowledged by many.

I chose this live version because I think you can hear the versatility of P!nk's voice. To some she is just another pop singer. For me - and musically speaking - I think she is much more than that. And this is a proof that she can sing a lot of different songs.

I'm sure I will be able to share with you other great live songs sung by her.

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', I mean nothin' hon' if it ain't free
Yeah, feelin' good was easy Lord, when he sang the blues
Yeah, feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby Mcgee

Janis Joplin - Piece of my Heart

Janis Joplin was an american singer and songwriter. She died at the age of 27 (1943 - 1970). First she was the lead singer of Big Brother and the Holding Company (rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1965) and later as a solo artist.
Janis was a pioneer in a male-dominated rock industry of the late 1960s and therefore a huge importance to other female singers in the rock mucis bussiness.
I love her voice and her songs. I wish I could have seen her live.

Piece of My Heart is a song written by Jerry Ragovoy and Bert Berns and originally recorded by Erma Franklin in 1967. The song came to greater mainstream attention when Janis Joplin and Big Brother and the Holding Company covered the song in 1968 on their album Cheap Thrills and had a hit with it.

I'll say come on, come on, come on, come on, yeah take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby. (break a..)
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, (come on…)
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, yeah.
Well, You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good
