Since the Season Finale of American Idol airs tonight, we thought we would highlight our title,
Janis Joplin: "Take Another Little Piece of My Heart" from our
American Rebels series. For grades 9–12, author Edward Willett gives a comprehensive biography of legendary singer Janis Joplin, from her childhood singing in the church choir to her adolescent rebellions with the local beatniks through her drug and alcohol use and her amazing musical success. With a powerful and soulful voice, Janis blazed a trail for other female rockers during her short and eventful life.
