Everybody associates this (and rightly so) with Janis Joplin, but Roger Miller actually did it first. Written by Kris Kristofferson and Monument Records head Fred Foster, Roger took it to #12 on the country charts and “bubbled under” on the pop side. Janis recorded the song just a few days prior to her untimely death in October 1970, becoming a posthumous #1 in March 1971.
