Sam Baker (born 1954, Itasca, Texas), folk, country, my favorite song is "Broken Fingers", because it describes the horrible ordeal, while traveling on a train to visit Machu Picchu in Peru, and the death of a little German Boy that sit across from him.

Janis Joplin (1943 in Port Arthur, Texas –1970), blues/rock singer . My favorite songs would be from when she was with the group, Big Brother and the Holding Company, and the album "Cheap Thrills". I really like the songs, "Bobbie McGee" and "Mercedes Benz" as I think of and begin singing, the latter, every time I see a Mercedes. Ultimately it is between one of two others on the same album, both show the power of her voice. The songs I can not choose between "A Piece of My Heart" and "Summertime". A bio from allmusic.
