Janis Joplin and Chet Helms -- 1967 in San Francisco

(1/1)

JimH:
Dawgincontrol's Cloudplay playlist of Janis Joplin Live led me down a different rabbit hole.  Chet Helms was the promoter who helped put her together with Big Brother and the Holding Company.  His bio is amazing.

That happened the same summer I arrived in San Francisco after finishing college on the East Coast.  1967.

KingSparta:
My dad's favorite singer, he liked her raspy voice.

coming up on a year since he died from Alzheimer's, at 90 years
