Me and Bobby McGee by Janis Joplin is one of the most iconic songs in rock history. Originally written by Kris Kristofferson and Fred Foster, Joplin’s version was released in 1971, just months after her tragic passing. Her raw, soulful vocals transformed the song into a heartbreaking anthem of freedom, love, and loss.

The song hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making Joplin the first female artist to achieve a posthumous No. 1 single. With its mix of country storytelling and bluesy rock energy, Me and Bobby McGee remains a timeless classic, covered by countless artists but never outshining Joplin’s unforgettable rendition. Few songs capture the highs and lows of life on the road quite like this one.
