Even after her death in October 1970 Janis Joplin left behind a Pearl. Her second and final solo album was released on January 11th 1971. Featuring hits such as "Me and Bobby McGee", "Trust Me" and her incredible version of Mercedes Benz.
This was to be the last song she ever recorded. Written by Janis with Bob Neuwirth and the poet Michael McClure it's instantly recognisable, timeless and ends with Janis saying "That's It" as she giggles in her wonderful smokey voice.
Our version is sung by the brilliant Hayley Sanderson. Our upcoming shows include Midlands Arts Centre - Birmingham and The Kenton Theatre in Henley On Thames. Grab your tickets now.
