The Song Was Taken From The Group's Album Cheap Thrills Recorded In 1968 And Released On Columbia Records. This Rendition Made It To Number Twelve On The U.S. Pop Chart. Franklin Said In An Interview That When She First Heard Joplin's Version On The Radio She Didn't Recognize It Because Of The Vocal Arrangement. Noted Cultural Writer Ellen Willis Wrote Of The Difference "When Franklin Sings It It Is A Challenge No Matter What You Do To Me I Will Not Let You Destroy My Ability To Be Human To Love. Joplin Seems Rather To Be Saying Surely If I Keep Taking This If I Keep Setting An Example Of Love And Forgiveness Surely He Has To Understand Change Give Me Back What I Have Given". In Such A Way Joplin Used Blues Conventions Not To Transcend Pain But "to Scream It Out Of Existence".
