'My Dailymotion Channel https://www.dailymotion.com/FerrellSouza/videos \"Piece of My Heart\" is a romantic funk/soul love song written by Jerry Ragovoy and Bert Berns, originally recorded by Erma Franklin in 1967. The song came to greater mainstream attention when Big Brother and the Holding Company (featuring Janis Joplin on lead vocals) covered the song in 1968 and had a much bigger hit with it. The song has since been remade by several singers, including Dusty Springfield on her 1968 album Dusty... Definitely, Bryan Ferry on his solo debut album These Foolish Things in 1973, Faith Hill in 1994 and Melissa Etheridge in 2005. In 2004, the Big Brother and the Holding Company version was ranked number 353 on Rolling Stone\'s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The song is also included among The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame\'s 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. The original version of \"Piece of My Heart\" was recorded by Aretha Franklin\'s older sister Erma in 1967 for producer Bert Berns\' Shout label with the same song on both sides of the 7\" vinyl single.[1][2] The song reached number 10 on the R&B charts in the US,[3] and also peaked at number sixty-two on the U.S. Pop Singles chart. Bert Berns wanted Van Morrison, who he was producing at the time, to record the song, but Morrison decIined, wanting to do his own material instead. In the UK, the single was re-released in 1992,[4] due to a successful Levi\'s jeans commercial (\"Cinderella\" AKA \"Night and Day\" directed by Tarsem Singh), when it peaked in the UK Singles Chart at number nine. The version was included on the soundtrack of the 2005 comedy film Romance & Cigarettes. The song became a bigger pop hit when recorded by Big Brother and the Holding Company in 1968 with lead singer Janis Joplin.[7][8] The song was taken from the group\'s album Cheap Thrills, recorded in 1968 and released on Columbia Records. This 4 minutes 15 seconds rendition made it to number twelve on the U.S. pop chart. The album release was the culmination of a hugely successful year for Joplin with acclaimed performances at the Monterey Pop Festival, Anderson Theater in New York, Wake For Martin Luther King Jr. (with Jimi Hendrix) in New York and on TV\'s prime-time The Dick Cavett Show. Country artist Faith Hill included the song on her debut album, Take Me as I Am (1993). It was a number one hit for her in 1994. Hill\'s version took on a more passive tone coupled with traditional country instrumentation. Prior to recording the track, Hill had never heard Janis Joplin\'s rendition. Hill\'s producers refused to allow her to listen to the Joplin version until she had completed her own recording.[citation needed] Hill re-recorded the track for the soundtrack to the TV series King of the Hill, released in 1999. This edgier version can also be found on the 1998 international pressing of her third album, Faith (re-titled \"Love Will Always Win\" outside the U.S.) and 2001 international greatest hits album There You\'ll Be. Her original version was included in her 2007 greatest hits album The Hits. A live medley of this song with Janis Joplin and the Full Tilt Boogie Band\'s 1971 song \"Cry Baby\" became a hit duet for American rock singer Melissa Etheridge and English soul singer Joss Stone when it was released to iTunes Store after they performed it at the 47th Grammy Awards on February 13, 2005, in tribute to Joplin. She had previously sung it at Woodstock \'94 as part of a four-song medley of Joplin tunes On her 2005 Affirmation Tour, English soul singer Beverley Knight performed the song with Ronnie Wood, which encouraged her to make a studio recording of the song. \"Piece of My Heart\" was the lead single from her 2006 best-of compilation Voice - The Best of Beverley Knight.[20][better source needed] It peaked inside the top ten of the UK radio airplay chart. The physical single was released on March 13, 2006. The song appeared on Home, the debut album of Delaney & Bonnie, released in 1969. It was also released by Sammy Hagar.
