Dzhenis Joplin is a pearl rock and roll. Emberne Ellis

“Jenis Joplin perfectly reflected one side of the 1968th: at the same time enthusiastic and self-destructive, with crying, spreading to the limits of the universe”

- Time

Voice Jennis Joplin brought her glory and Money is still in life, and Pearl’s posthumous record in one year could help her millions of income - so great sales were. She was awarded the title of Blues legends, crowds of fans to this day come to Port Arthur to honor the singer's memory. But in her hometown, Janice was never complained of, at school she was an outcast, and her house was equal to the ground after her death. Dzhenis all her life wanted to prove to parents and herself that she is not a dummy, that she is worth something, that she can be loved. And I never wanted to be like everyone else or to bend under someone. And in these heavy teenage injuries lies the main tragedy of the life of the Great Star: Jenis tried to find herself, to understand who she was, but over and over again she fell into the abyss of alcohol, random sex and drugs. At the age of 27, she recorded a new album, was in love and happy, it seemed that life was finally supportive to her, but everything broke off a sudden death from an overdose in a roadside hotel.

And the life and death of Jenis Joplin are shrouded in many rumors. What was she? Did she make all these crazy antics, about which newspapers and her friends spoke about? Is her death an accident? Or killing the hands of a former lover? Or suicide?

biographer Ellis Emberne visited his homeland Jenis and in the places of her performances, talked with her relatives, friends, with classmates and musicians to distinguish truth from speculation. Today, this book is perhaps the most objective and comprehensive study of the life of the unique “pearl” and the greatest blues vocalist of all time.
