Here's a memory. I'm so glad I have it.
Pianowomen 2016, New York City.
Amazing artist and human.
I wrote you a letter. Seven years ago. I wrote you a letter. On a pink sheet. So you will know it is me before reading it. And to make sure no one else will open it. No one opens a pink sheet letter.
Today, it’s been
exactly seven years, since I wrote you that letter. I don’t know how…how
it came to…this, but I wrote you a letter.
I imagined you opening it, reading it, and calling me. I had already prepared what I would tell to you.
But you didn`t call me. You never said a word to me.

The woman who made a path for "Front women"
{1943-1970} In 1967, Joplin rose to prominence following an appearance at Monterey Pop Festival, where she was the lead singer of the then little-known San Francisco psychedelic rock band Big Brother and the Holding Company
Joplin died of a heroin overdose in 1970, at the age of 27, after releasing three albums (two with Big Brother and the Holding Company and one solo album). A second solo album, Pearl, was released in January 1971, just over three months after her death. It reached number one on the Billboard charts. She was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995.
I had the privilege of seeing her live twice. Hard to compare her stage presence to anyone.
Perhaps, Judy Garland, Sinatra, James Brown. She changed what a woman could do as a "Front woman"
Rock music is no longer a boy's club thanks to her.

Mz Love had an itinerant childhood, but was primarily raised in Portland,
Oregon, where she played in a series of short-lived bands and was active
in the local punk scene. After briefly being in a juvenile hall, she
spent a year living in Dublin and Liverpool before returning to the
United States and pursuing an acting career
Love spent her early years in Haight-Ashbury, San Francisco, until her parents divorced in 1970. In a custody hearing, her mother, as well as one of her father's girlfriends, testified that Hank had dosed Courtney with LSD when she was a toddler. Carroll also alleged that Hank threatened to abduct his daughter and flee with her to a foreign country. Though Hank denied these allegations, his custody was revoked.
Love has a contralto vocal range. According to Love, she never wanted to be a singer, but rather aspired to be a skilled guitarist: "I'm such a lazy bastard though that I never did that", she said. "I was always the only person with the nerve to sing, and so I got stuck with it." She has been regularly noted by critics for her husky vocals as well as her "banshee -like" screaming abilities. Her vocals have been compared to those of Johnny Rotten, and David Fricke of Rolling Stone described them as "lung-busting" and "a corrosive, lunatic wail". Upon the release of Hole's 2010 album, Nobody's Daughter, Amanda Petrusich of Pitchfork compared Love's raspy, unpolished vocals to those of Bob Dylan.
