Photos of Janis Joplin at the Chelsea Hotel 1970

[Dex]

These might be a little too candid for Pro Boards so you can view them at the site.

Photographer whose work vividly expressed the essence of creative personalities ranging from Janis Joplin to Arthur Miller. Like that of many photographers, David Gahr’s work was better known than his name. He was among the first photographers to specialize in taking pictures of popular musicians and, more specifically, to think them worthy of being photographed.

Janis Joplin fell into the hands of some of the most ruthless exploiters ever to have gained positions of power in the music industry, they strip mined her and the poor Lass was forced to perform well above her physical capabilities. I don't know who introduced her to Uppers / Downers, Heroin etc but it would not surprise me to learn that it was her exploiters who are the guilty parties. I remember the first time I saw her perform ,'Ball and Chain', I was left stunned by her efforts.

There's a book I read 2 or 3 years ago about the Chelsea Hotel that was full of information about the singers and musicians of that era.

and then there was the legendary song Leonard Cohen wrote with part of it about him and Janice.
