JANIS Joplin (pic). One of the greatest names in the rock industry.
Famously known for her songs Mercedez Benz, Me and Bobby McGhee, Bye Bye Baby and Try, the American singer made an impact at the inaugural Woodstock in 1969.
Died due to drug overdose on Oct 4, 1970 - at the age of 27 - Joplin still captivates rock listeners world wide with her unique voice and even more imaginative lyrics.
Voice of America published a transcript between Pat Bodnar and Bob Doughty in their special edition on the singer.
Elsewhere, two rock fans were found dead at a music festival in Kvinesdal, Norway due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
It is unclear to the circumstances of the scenario which led to the death but the 3-day festival featuring Alice Cooper and Motorhead, among others, was delayed no thanks to the incident.
