Yes, she was great and blazed many trails.
Her version of Me and My Bobby McGee was a huge radio hit when I was a kid in '71.
I then bought her Greatest Hits when I was in my teens, and there was a great documentary of her -
Janis - that used to air all the time on cable tv in the early '80's.
Don't listen to her often these days, but never change the station when a song of hers is played on the radio.
