More Info
Tragically, she would not live to see its release, but in her short recording career,
Joplin created a lifetime's worth of emotion- drenched music on which her
reputation still rests. Recorded live at Jahrhunderthalle, Frankfurt, Germany, on 12
April 1969, and originally broadcast on German TV, the performance that makes
up much of much of The Frankfurt 1969 Broadcast &The American Broadcasts
1969/1970 offers a stunning reminder of Joplin's versatility, as she ranges from
the jazz classic Summertime to Erma Franklin's soul landmark Piece Of My Heart,
claiming both for her own. On home turf, on the Ed Sullivan and Dick Cavett
shows, Joplin delivers songs such as Raise Your Hand and Get It While You Can
with all the conviction of a preacher at a tent revival. Get it while you can, indeed.
