Blues-influenced rock singer-songwriter (1943–1970) known for her distinctive voice and magnetic stage presence. Joplin, who performed both as the lead singer of San Francisco’s Big Brother and The Holding Company and as a solo artist, was found dead at the Landmark Hotel in Hollywood on October 4, 1970, most likely due to an overdose of heroin and whiskey. Joplin’s AFTRA P&W benefits card, one page, both sides, 6 x 4, dated November 7, 1968. Pension and Welfare benefit card is filled out by Joplin, printing her full name, “Janis Lyn Joplin,” her San Francisco address, birthdate and Social Security number. Signed in the middle, “Janis Joplin,” with Joplin adding her brother’s name, Michael Ross Joplin, to the reverse as the recipient of death benefits. The lower portion of the front of the card is stamped twice “Deceased,” with an office notation reading “Deceased 10/4/70—Deleted on Nov. 1970.” In fine condition, with a couple small corner creases, aforementioned stamps and notations, and a touch of trivial soiling.
