@janisjoplin: “Janis absorbed Redding’s every syllable, movement, and chord change. She watched the way he made the song ‘visible’ through his movements.” -Sam Andrew This week, for Black History Month, we honor the King of Soul, Otis Redding ❤️ Janis first saw Otis perform in December ‘66. She made sure to watch every performance he gave that weekend at the Fillmore. It took less than a year for Janis and Otis to perform together at the Monterey International Pop Festival.
