Janis Joplin - Trust Me

Saint Janis sings a Bobby Womack song, "Trust Me." Womack, the great R&B/soul singer and songwriter, also contributes acoustic guitar. Joplin's imitators tend to focus on her belting, which does appear in this piece, but tend to ignore the vulnerability, which predominates here. She died of a heroin overdose on this date in 1970.
