"Summertime" kënnt aus der Fieder vum Trio George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin an DuBose Heyward. D'Lidd ass en Extrait aus der Oper "Porgy And Bess", Joergang 1935. Gecovered gouf "Summertime" vun esou ënnerschiddleche Museker_innen, wéi Billie Holiday, Sidney Bechet, Perry Como, Ella Fitzgerald, John Coltrane, Sonny & Cher, Booker T. & the MG's, Sting oder och Earth Wind & Fire.
D'Versioun vun der Janis Joplin ass 1968 op "Cheap Thrills", dem zweeten Album vu Big Brother And The Holding Company ze fannen. Den Iwwerhit um Release war "Piece Of My Heart". Opgefall ass dëst Wierk och duerch den Album-Cover, deen de bekannte Comiczeechner Robert Crumb (ë. a. "Fritz The Cat") produzéiert huet. No dëser Nummer 1 an den Charts huet d'Sängerin eng Solokarriär ugefaangen. D'Janis Joplin ass de 4. Oktober 1970 am Alter vu just emol 27 Joer un enger Iwwerdosis gestuerwen.
