Her breakout appearance open the door for women to take their place in what at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 brought her to national was then the male-dominated realm of rock in all its prominence and launched her career, which ended abruptly evolving and splintering forms—from American folk and only three years later when she died at the age of 27. psychedelic rock to metal, punk, grunge and beyond.

Behind every musical icon are those who have paved the way. Meet the great women who in uenced Janis Joplin’s music and helped create the sound that many would come to love and revere.

ARETHA FRANKLIN BORN: March 25, 1942 The woman behind popular hit songs like “Respect,” “I Say a Little Prayer” and “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” began her career in Memphis, Tennessee as a gospel singer in her father’s church. At just 18 years old, she aspired for a wider appeal, and moved into mainstream genres like R&B, pop and the blues. It is said that, at the height of her career, she averaged one pop hit every two months. Recognized by Rolling Stone as #1 of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time, Franklin’s musical accomplishments span decades, and include 75 million records sold worldwide, 18 Grammy Awards and112 charted singles on Billboard. In 1987, Franklin became the first woman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She continues to tour and perform, and her most recent performance at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors showed why she deserves “a little respect.”

BESSIE SMITH (BORN ELIZABETH SMITH) April 15, 1884 - September 26, 1937 Nicknamed the “Empress of Blues,” Bessie Smith is considered one of the greatest blues singers of her era. After her parents died, Smith took on the responsibility of raising her younger siblings, often performing duets on the streets of Chattanooga with her brother Andrew. In 1912, she was discovered and mentored by Ma Rainey, one of the most accomplished and recognizable names in blues. Her star began to rise and soon she was the highest paid black entertainer in the world, collaborating with greats like Louis Armstrong. Smith was killed in a car accident in 1937 and buried in an unmarked grave until 1970, when Janis Joplin and Juanita Green paid for a tombstone for her. Smith’s impact is felt even today, seen most recently in Queen Latifah’s portrayal of her in the 2015 HBO movie Bessie. BEHIND THE SCENES: A NIGHT WITH JANIS JOPLIN

ETTA JAMES (BORN JAMESETTA HAWKINS) January 25, 1938 - January 20, 2012 “When I heard her sing, I recognized my influence,” Etta James said of her impact on Janis Joplin. “I also heard the electricity and rage in her own voice. I loved her attitude.” Like so many singers in the genres of blues, jazz, and soul, James (born Jamesetta Hawkins) began her musical training in a church choir. In 1950, she was discovered by musician Johnny Otis, who signed her along with the Peaches, a girl group she had formed. She launched her solo career in 1960 with her debut album At Last, and carried that success across six decades. In addition to winning six Grammy Awards, 17 Blue Music Awards and being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, James was proud of her role as an icon who influenced many musicians, including Janis.

NINA SIMONE (BORN EUNICE KATHLEEN WAYMON) February 21, 1933 - April 21, 2003 A piano prodigy, Eunice Kathleen Waymon originally wanted to study classical piano, and started doing so at Juilliard. Due to financial struggles, she wasn’t able to finish her degree, but we can hear this classical music background in much of her musical style as she often fused gospel and pop with the music of Bach. After leaving school, she started playing in bars, singing jazz and blues. This was when she adopted her stage name—Nina Simone—to keep her mother from recognizing that she was now playing the “Devil’s Music.” Her big break came when her recording of the song “I Loves You Porgy” from the Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess became a Top 40 hit. Simone was also a political rights activist, using her music to comment on current events. Her song “Mississippi Goddam” was in direct response to the murder of Medgar Evers and the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, and “Why (The King of Love Is Dead)” was written days after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. After a series of financial and health setbacks, Simone passed away in 2003. Simone’s story can be seen in the recent Netflix documentary What Happened, Miss Simone?

ODETTA HOLMES December 31, 1930 - December 2, 2008 Bob Dylan once said, “The first thing that turned me on to folk singing was Odetta.” Like Dylan and Janis Joplin, many artists were inspired by Holmes, considering her a strong influence in the revival of American folk music. After studying music in college, and working on the musical Finian’s Rainbow, she started a solo singing career in 1956 with the release of her first album Odetta Sings Ballads and Blues. An accomplished and well respected musician and actor, Holmes was also a Civil Rights activist. Born in Birmingham, a well-known hub for the Civil Rights Movement, her presence and voice were so linked to the struggle for equality that her music was called the soundtrack of the Civil Rights Movement. In 1999, President Clinton presented her with the National Medal of the Arts and the Library of Congress awarded her the Living Legend Award. In 2008, Odetta Holmes died just a few short weeks before President Barack Obama’s inauguration, where she had been scheduled to perform. BEHIND THE SCENES: A NIGHT WITH JANIS JOPLIN WHO’S WHO
