Janis Joplin

Beschreibung

A dynamic blues and soul singer Janis Joplin came to prominence in 1968 for a brief period of raw, fiery expression. She began a solo career that was triumphant and tragic before passing at the age of 27. This new illustrated book is a timely introduction for the 50th anniversary of her death in October 2020.
