Janis Joplin ??/??/39
Janis- A Documentary, BBC, Radio
Set I
Ardent fan and singer, Beth Ditto tells the story of Janis Joplin's short but celebrated life. On 19th January 2008, Janis Joplin would have been 65.

Instead, an early death from a drugs overdose, means the world is left with the legacy of Joplin's 27-year-old singing voice forever.

With the help of contributors Robin Gibb, Bonnie Tyler and both of Janis' siblings, Beth reveals the real Janis - where she came from and what turned her into the "wild woman of rock and roll" who wowed the crowds at Monterey and Woodstock.
