Remembering Janis Joplin. The movie THE ROSE is loosely based on Janis Joplin. Originally titled Pearl, after Joplin's nickname, and the title of her last album, it was fictionalized after her family declined to allow the producers the rights to her story. #takeanotherpieceofmyheart #meandbobbymcghee #crybaby #summertime #therose #janisjoplin #classicmusic
