Laura Joplin, her brother Michael [Gm] Joplin, and [Gbm] her friend Bob Gordon.
[Bm] [B]
You [N] know, one of the things that Janice said that I like the most is that you need to be
true to yourself because yourself is all you got.
[Abm] And obviously [B] what was most powerful and most important to Janice was music and her ability
to find her emotion and share that with people.
To hear from her public and from the industry [D] that she is still communicating and being
there with them is very moving for me and I thank you.
[N]
I just wanted to thank everybody with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
It's a really nice thing.
Next week is Janice's birthday and it's a really cool present.
I just really wish that she was up here instead of me.
That's all I got.
Thanks.
This event reminds me of a story about Janice [G] and it involves Ahmaud Ernegan.
There was a party at my home in Los Angeles while Janice was recording the Pearl album
and Bob Krasna was there and Ahmaud was [Abm] there and Janice sort of spontaneously sang Mercedes
Benz to the applause of the gathered people in the record business.
And Ahmaud kind of smiled at her and said,
If you come upstairs with me for a while, I'll let you record the song.
And perhaps typical, Ahmaud had no interest in the song but he was going for it.
[N]
As far as I know, nothing happened.
Janice never went through the motions.
[Bm] She gave every bit of herself in every way and [F] every aspect of her life.
I can remember being scared to death while she was driving on the windy part of Sunset
Boulevard at 90 miles an hour in her famous Porsche.
And of course, you've seen just now and I'm sure know about the [E] incredible passion with
which [B] she sung.
Another part of Janice was kind of as a philosopher in a way in the society of the 60s.
And I think of her in terms of three [N] elements.
Be true to yourself, as Laura just said.
Having respect for other people.
And being compassionate.
Thank you on behalf of Janice.
