Cover of ME AND BOBBY MCGEE in 1970 - posthumous n°1 US; Bob Neuwirth go-betweened (see: Mercedes Benz), introducing Kris to her with the words: "I brought you a present"; when Janis died, Pearl producer Paul A. Rothschild sent Kris her copy of Bobby; Kris didn't even knew she recorded it and while hearing the result wrote Epitaph (Black And Blue), ending up on his second lp The Silver Tongued Devil And I
Cover of TELL DADDY in 1970 - idem, live version on postumous album Farewell Song in '82
Cover of MY BABY in 1971 - on posthumous Pearl album, along with a second Garnett Mimms song (Cry Baby); had she lived one of two had probably been sacrificed in the final mix
Cover of TRUST ME in 1971 - on Pearl with Bobby Womack on guitar
