One of the most covered songs from the 1960s brought to prominence by Janis Joplin‘s vocal on this track from Big Brother and the Holding Company.

Joplin is one of the members of the seemingly mythical 27 club, which the link states is a spurious artefact. A tendency for musicians to die when 27 is not borne out statistically. Still, print the legend, eh?

Some versions have the song’s title as (Take A Little) Piece Of My Heart others as Take Another Little Piece Of My Heart.
