US 4916a Music Icons Janis Joplin imperf NDC vert pair MNH 2014

Description: Detailed Description It is a pre-order item. I estimate the stamp will be sent out on or after Aug 22, 2014. Groundbreaking singer Janis Joplin (1943-1970), an icon of the 1960s whose bluesy voice propelled her to the pinnacle of rock stardom, appears on this new stamp in the Music Icons series.The artwork for this stamp features a photo of Janis Joplin taken by David Gahr in June 1970. The original black and white photograph is rendered in shades of blue, with Joplins trademark round sunglasses tinted a shade of pink. With her wild mane of hair decorated with a feathered accessory, wrists decked out in bangle bracelets, and expressive smile, its a joyful image of this iconic singer. The words Janis Joplin, along with the Forever denomination and USA appear in psychedelic-style script reminiscent of the 1960s, in shades of gold, orange, and pink. Daniel Pelavin designed the lettering. Small blue stars pop out from the stamps dark blue background. Text below the stamps briefly describes Joplins musical legacy. Joplin broke onto the national music scene with an explosive performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. Known for her rebellious public persona, Joplin roared and wailed her way through uninhibited, soulful performances. Her time at the top, however, was brief. She recorded three hit albums and performed at Woodstock, but in October 1970, just three years after she became a star, she died at the age of 27 of a drug overdose. The album she was recording at the time of her death, Pearl, went on to cement her reputation as one of the greatest rock singers of all time. Me and Bobby McGee, written by Kris Kristofferson, became a number one hit. Multiple Variations If you see a OR sign in the picture, this means there are multiple variations available for this item.
