Composed by singer-songwriter Kris Kristofferson and originally performed by Roger Miller and Fred Foster, who share the writing credit, this song was recorded by Janis Joplin only a couple of days before her death in October 1970. Kristofferson was unaware she had recorded the song until after her death - hearing it for the first time the day after death.
Joplin's version topped the charts becoming her only number one single; eventually ranked #148 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
