Customer Rating:
Summary: Lovely, soulful, gritty, and amazing.
Comment: I was too young to have appreicated her music when the album originally came out--how wonderful to be able to go back 40 years and catch-up. I now fully comprehend what older friends and have been raving about for so long.

Summary: Her demise our loss
Comment: Joplin's version of Gershwin's " Summertime " is arguably one of the best song's ever recorded. The rest of the album is very good. She was one of a kind.

Summary: NOT COMPLETE BUT ENCAPSULATES THE RADIO AIRPLAY TUNES
Comment: An excellent collection, Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits features the radio tunes immortalized by the "white woman who could sing the blues", Janis Joplin. Included are the tracks Piece of My Heart, Mercedes Benz, Summertime, and the excellent Me and Bobby McGee, which would be Janis' only #1 hit and was, sadly enough, posthumously recorded as such.
In this disc, Joplin's unique vocals are enough to convince one that Janis was and is a one-of-a-kind performer who cannot be equaled or imitated. To this day, no one has filmed an adequate biopic of Janis Joplin as played by someone else. In fact, that "played by someone else" will probably never occur since no one possessing similarities to what were Janis' physical traits has the matching dynamic voice.
If you like this disc and want more of Janis, I suggest that you purchase Cheap Thrills (the album with the Robert Crumb-like comic book art on the cover) and Pearl, her very last release. Altogether, they will make a more complete collection than The Essential Janis Joplin, which, itself, consists of a very nice Janis repertoire.
In one sense, Janis is no longer with us, and yet, considering the magnitude of her accomplishments in those brief 27 years, Janis will always be with us with a spirit that will live on!

Editorial Reviews:

More than Cheap Thrills or even Pearl, Greatest Hits has helped keep Janis Joplin's short-lived recording career alive for listeners who came along after her 1970 death. "Me and Bobby McGee" is the biggest draw, of course--it was a posthumous No. 1 single--but the rest is equally exciting. Despite the familiarity of the titles here, this goes far beyond the merely serviceable. Finally, the cover photo of Janis smiling in a sunny park is as poignant a shot of her as exists. --Rickey Wright
