Best Dinghy for a Sailing School?
Re: Best Dinghy for a Sailing School?
In order of increasing size and capacity.
Graduate up to Laser II's for double handed experience.
Flying Scots are big enough to actually go somewhere with a bunch of folks, say 4-6 people.
All these boats have been in production for a long time. All are simply rigged. The manufacturers are all still in business for parts support.
So what is their issue(s) with the Fly Scot?
Oh, they are a 60 year old design.
Not that they weren't good boats in their day, but hull design has come a long way since the FS was first designed. Since it costs the same to turn 600lbs of fiberglass into a good design, as a bad design, older boats can't compete.
For roughly the same money take a look at the VX OD, K6, Viper 640 (a bit more, but bigger boat), 505, ect.
Actually the WB performance sail kit includes a jib. Most of the kit seems pretty good to me though I'm not crazy about the way the boom to mast or bowsprit to mast connectors work. The main can be reefed though which is a bonus.
Agreed. I've not used the performance sail kit, just the regular sail kit that only has a main.
Yes, the gooseneck is what I meant when I said spar attachment.
Still no spinnaker and at 10 feet are a bit small.
Adelie has good recommendations but I think you were after one boat, right?
I'd go with a Flying Junior as it does have a spinnaker and for basic sailors can be sailed with just the main. They are light fiberglass though so they have to be handled with care just like Lasers and Flying Scots.
When I first started teaching back in the early 70s we used Capris, Lidos and Rebels but there are not many of those old designs around any more and the new Capri is not the same.
Thanks for the replies... Optis and sunfish are an option but ideally, this would be a dinghy you'd want to sail afterwards. It would be something that you could have club races with too.
Another vote for sunfish .. they're raced around the world, big fleets, even masters world championships... race them from kids to seniors. My daughter bought her first one when she was 12, in a few years she'll teach her kids to sail on it...Best part is the boat can be tame enough for kids - her favorite part of sailing camp was flipping the sunfish -- on purpose, of course. But it can also be a world class competitive boat. Only downside is it doesn't have a jib. I learned on a laser & would have enjoyed learning on a sunfish MUCH more - not nearly as intimidating.
You eliminated maybe the best choice due to the destructability of the boat. But did you know, there are three types of 420s? Colleigate, Club, and international, from least destructable to most. The collegiate version is pretty bomb proof.
Better yet, colleges keep their fleets for 4-6 years or so and are ready to flip them for a cheap price to a willing buyer. Collegiate boats aren't spinnaker rigged, but this isn't too hard to retrofit. Maybe an hour per boat with some tools and hardware, and you are all set.
Plus, colleges dump their sails regularly, so you can buy those cheap as well.
They are great for juniors and adults, and very versatile. FJs are a close second for all the same reasons, but a little more tender, though better for lighter crews.
As for other suggestions: Thistle? Forget it! Flying Scot? no! The thistle is a racing boat. The flying sidewalk... is not too wonderful and not as cheap as other options. T-bone one thistle or flying scot to another and you will get SERIOUS damage. Not true in a 420 or FJ.
As for plastic boats like WB or JY 15s, they are much harder to repair. Fiberglass has major advantages on this front.
If you want a double hander with spin rig, there is a good reason the 90% of junior sailing programs use FJs and 420s. Cheap, easy to sail and somewhat indestructable.
If all you care about is bomb-proofness, then the Interclub or Tech Dinghy is the best choice. But only one sail each and not much fun to sail.
I agree with you for the most part but we currently have tech dinghies and they are still in iffy shape. While we have 420's now, we reserve those for more collegiate activities. What would you say the better dinghy is, the Tech or the IC?
We used the Laser Pico. Bulletproof plastic hull, simple freestanding rig and a tiny jib for the kids to learn with. Make sure you get dacron sails and fiberglass rudder and CB. The wooden ones broke.
The sailing program I have been involved with was a college program. There was a 5-10yr period where we had 420's. The were great for the racing team but had some problems for the training program. The biggest issue was capsizing. Shorter students and students without good upper body strength or with shorter arms had big issues trying to right the boat. Specifically the deep and blunt bow made it hard for students to hand over hand back from there in order to climb up on the board. The FJ's that replaced the 420's were slightly better in that the bow was sharper which helped, but it was just as deep. In dinghy sailing ability to right the boat from a capsize is a significant safety issue.
We lost a fair number of students who couldn't right the boats and dropped out of the program for that reason. Mostly women.
If you are teaching Jr or Sr High students this issue will be an even bigger impediment since they will be smaller/shorter though strength to weight ratio may be the same or slightly better than the college students I taught.
I belonged to the same sailing club as SkiprJohn. When I wanted to take a WB out for an afternoon, I would pack a small tool kit, for i knew something would have to be pop-riveted back together. We also had water-logged Sunfish that were way to heavy to move from the beach to the water.
Now I'm in Ca. and talked my neighbor into buying a Omega 14. Very similar to a Capri 14. Fun boat and cost $700 with the trailer.
Laser 2s no longer have factory support as they've been out of production so long. It is very hard to impossible to get parts.
I'm in the same club as Adelie. I've seen the club go though C-Larks, Laser- 2s, 420s, and FJs as the double hand teaching fleet. FJs haven't been bad boats, none of different boats have been bad, but each has good and bad points. One thing I've been trying to get the club to work towards is polyethylene boats. We also teach in single hand boats. For years we used Lasers, 8 years ago we got Hobie Bravos to start the students on in single hand classes. We have to do fiberglass repairs, get rid of boats not worth fixing, and buy newer Lasers all the time. The Bravos have had zero hull repairs in the 8 years we've had them. The hulls are scratched but are otherwise in good condition.
The FJs have been durable, but do require fiberglass repairs at times. The boat I have been interested in looking at for the club to replace the FJ is the RS-Vision. It's polyethylene, has a self bailing cockpit, and the transom is relatively low cut which makes it easier to get back into after a capsize. I've talked to someone that recently learned to sail in FJs and then bought a Vision. He thought it was more stable than the FJ and roomier. He bought the mast head float for it because when he capsized it it quickly turned turtle. Hopefully I will get a ride on it soon. It has a reefable main and an optional assymetric kite.
Laser has a similar boat called the Bahia.
Did not know that L-2's out of production and no longer being supported. I rescind my previous recommendation.
6yr ago I was on a club committee researching replacement boats. We really liked the poly boats but there were none that were appropriate for our needs at that time. Perhaps it is time I did some more research.
gbam, I would recommend the Interclub over the tech, just because there are more of them.
After reading the rest of the input, though, I think the FJ would be the ideal teaching boat. Capsize recovery is easy (not true in a tech, IC, 420, thistle, or many other boats.) They can be reasonably handled by small people, but big enough for bigger people. They are reasonably tough, though not perfect. And there is a healthy market of used boats and sails. You will also be putting people in a boat that is actively raced throughout the country and will continue to be built indefinitely.
Maybe check out the Laser Pico, though. It looks interesting, but may be for beginners only. Also, they are pretty darned small.
Oh, and if you are in a place with lots of wind and want an alternative to the Opti, check on the Open Bic.
My children (7 and 10) just went through 3 weeks of sailing camp using Picos, Opti's and beach cats during the last week. All the kids loved the Picos and they were indestructible. The only downside is they have a unique rig that doesn't transition easily to other dinghys.
I didn't see you mention your target customers? Are they adults, teens, children or a combination? Also what is your budget and how many boats do you need?
I was involved in several Youth programs in San Francisco.
The clubs there used different boats for skill and ages. Depending on their budgets, some clubs owned their fleet, some had student purchase their own boats and some did a combintion of both.
Most clubs in San Francisco had begginers sailing something something simple like an Opti, Sabit or El Toro... Intermediate and Advanced Sailors primarily used Lasers or FJs. Outide of those boats the students had to purchase their own boats.
As far as teaching adults dinghy sailing, remember they come in all shapes and sizes.... An Opti won't due for most adult men.
Finally, some people recommended a Walker Bay which is a nice all round sailing dingy and the best of both worlds. It is not in my opinion a boat to teach sailing in. It was designed originally as a dinghy and later modifed for sailing, it does not point well and if swampped would be difficult for a beginning student to right.
The bottom line, especially if your racing against other clubs in your area, is finding out what they are racing.

There is a great series of books on the market. "Eat This Not That," "Drink This Not That" and "Cook This Not That." They feature the calorie content of popular items that we love to throw in our shopping cart. The killer ingredient is sugar and sodium. But we knew that, right? The books are billed as the no-diet weight loss solution.
I found that one of my favorite drinks, Simply Lemonade, was on the "not that" side of the page. Each eight ounce serving contains 120 calories and 28 grams of sugar and only contains 11 percent juice and the rest of the bottle is pure sugar water. The book recommends Lakewood Organic Lemonade. I've seen this on sale at Whole Foods sometimes for $1 a bottle. Lakewood is 86 calories a serving with 19 grams of sugar. However, the lemonade is sweetened with grape juice and agave nectar.
The books are written by David Zinczenko with Matt Goulding. They frequently appear on the "Today Show." We have to read these labels as the grams of sugar per serving is astounding. I love Welch's Grape Juice but an eight ounce serving contains 39 grams of sugar. Just to put that in perspective, there are four grams of sugar in a teaspoon.
I have started to follow these books. They have saved me from reading every label while I'm in the store. These books are small paper backs and can range from $15 to $20 depending on where you purchase them. I have found them on sale at Target and the book department at major Giant Eagle stores. If you buy at Giant Eagle you'll get your fuel perks.
You might be wondering why you can't shake the weight when you think you're making healthy choices. Read that label or better yet check out these books. How about Vitamin Water for focus, Kiwi Strawberry flavor, sounds healthy, something to help you focus. Well focus on this, 125 calories and 32.5 grams of sugar in a 20 ounce bottle. You know you are going to drink the whole bottle. Adding just one of these to your daily intake will put 13 pounds on our body in a year. Can you say OMG?
Vitamin water has a new "10 line" that replaces sugar with rebiana, a no- calorie sweetener from the stevia plant. A 20 ounce bottle has 25 calories and 7.5 grams of sugar, a much better choice.
Sugar is listed in the book as public enemy number one. They say if sugar were a drug, then we'd be a nation of junkies. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, Americans consume 22 teaspoons of added sugar a day. That is 330 unnecessary calories.
I've been following "The 4 Day Diet" by Dr. Ian Smith. He's also the author of the "Fat Smash Diet" and appears on "Celebrity Fit Club." The big item missing from his diet is sugar. It only took two days for me to notice a difference on the scale. I added in jumping jacks, walking and dancing. I'm not much for aerobics but I love to dance to some old school funk.
By making a few changes we can knock off some weight. Whatever works right?

Golf Digest is struggling to come up with advertisers as parent company Condé Nast continues to seek a buyer.
In the February issue that hit this week, 10 of the 26 ad pages come from other Condé Nast brands.
And for some reason, the publisher must think golfing makes you hungry. Among the house ads are three for Condé Nast's Bon Appétit and one for foodie website Epicurious.
Another ad for book publisher Abrams showcases a "Food in Vogue" coffee-table book. There are also ads for the New Yorker, Architectural Digest and GQ.
The Golf Digest sales process has attracted the interest of cable giant Discovery and several other bidders, but insiders said it is still months away from a deal. A Condé spokesman insisted the magazine is "on target" for the first quarter in terms of ad sales.
Meanwhile, GD's bitter archrival, Golf Magazine, which bank and real estate mogul Howard Milstein bought for an estimated $10 million early last year, underwent a sweeping redesign that supersized it and put it on heavier paper stock effective with the February issue. It has 32 ad pages in a 128-page issue.
It's now part of a Milstein-owned company called 8AM Golf, which includes the Nicklaus Companies, in partnership with golf's Jack Nicklaus, and various other golfing entities.
"My investment in Golf is one of many opportunities I've pursued within the golf world," Milstein wrote in a publisher's letter in the February issue that hit this week.


Every year, the Oakville Mayor provides a state of the town address to various community groups. On Friday, April 12th he addressed members and guests of the Oakville Chamber of Commerce at the Oakville Conference Centre.
As in past years the Mayor's state of the town address, there were the typical statements that make the town look great.
Residents overwhelming are pleased with the way the town is governed. There was an extensive study released this week supporting the Mayor's statements.
He also made a particular note to the number of elected officials in Oakville. It is where the typical address started to change.
Oakville has 15 elected officials, and Burlington has 7.
Having 15 elected representatives was actually cheaper than Burlington's 7. Burlington Councillors require office space and a fully paid staff. Their staff receives all the benefits given to municipal employees. Oakville's councillors have no staff to speak of and their offices are in their homes.
From a business perspective the community has added 1,800 new jobs over the past year. Business is thriving and more businesses are moving into Oakville.
As a community we enjoy a AAA credit rating which is higher than the province's AA credit rating. This means that Oakville and Halton pay less to service any form of debt than the province. It creates a better business climate.
After the formal town address the Mayor answered questions. He chose his words carefully, and didn't use the "That's an interesting question" when a politician is taken off guard.
Questions asked included how was the town going to help businesses attract more employees to address the labour shortage. It is something that Premier Doug Ford commented on when he spoke to the Chambers earlier in the week.
The Mayor put that back on shoulders of the employers. If businesses wanted more employees, then according to fundamentals of the demand and supply, businesses will have to pay higher wages.
Other questions included how would the town would help Downtown Oakville businesses during the construction, and improving transportation across the town. His answer: that the town is doing everything it can to help businesses out during construction, and that major transit bottle necks such as Kerr Street and Burloak by-passes that are continuing.
What was distinctly different from a typical town address was his focus on the Regional Review. Town residents are concerned about the regional review and the potential amalgamation of the Towns that make up Halton. He gave a shout out to the "WeLoveOakville" group, and asked that the Oakville Chamber of Commerce formalize their position on the regional review. MPP Stephen Crawford was also mentioned several times, acknowledging that municipal governments exist at Province's discretion.

Hospital Bills A Mother $39.95 To Hold Her Baby After Giving Birth
Photo Credit: Vox
This is a bill for a recent labor and delivery service in the United States. And it includes a $39.35 charge for holding the baby after delivery. Really.
The image of the bill, now shared widely on Reddit, shows a charge for "skin to skin after c sec." The Reddit user who posted it explained more in a few comments. He wasn't exactly mad about the charge — he said the hospital did a great job delivering his son. Instead, it more of spoke to the absurdity of American health care.
During the C-section the nurse asked my wife if she would like to do skin to skin after the baby was born. Which of course anyone would say yes too. We just noticed it in the bill today.
The nurse let me hold the baby on my wife's neck/chest. Even borrowed my camera to take a few pictures for us. Everyone involved in the process was great, and we had a positive experience. We just got a chuckle out of seeing that on the bill.
A labor and delivery nurse added a bit of context as to why this charge might show up on a bill — that it requires an additional nurse come in and watch the baby while it's being held by the mother.
As a labor and delivery nurse, I can kind of explain this. I didn't know that hospitals charged for it, but doing 'skin to skin' in the operating room requires an additional staff member to be present just to watch the baby. We used to take all babies to the nursery once the NICU team made sure everything was okay. "Skin to skin" in the OR is a relatively new thing and requires a second Labor and Delivery RN to come in to the OR and make sure the baby is safe.
Mostly, the bill speaks to how mysterious medical bills can be, even for exceptionally common procedures like delivering a baby. Vox's Johnny Harris recently did a project where he tried to figure out the cost of his wife's birth before it happened. It didn't go well.
He made dozens of phones calls to different billing offices, but couldn't find anyone who could tell him how much an uncomplicated birth would ultimately cost. Here's what he wrote about it:
What struck me the most about my quest to learn about hospital prices was the fact that consumers have no way of knowing where a hospital stands on the vast pricing spectrum. Consumers have few options to interact with pricing until after they have received treatment. It's significantly easier to find out how much it costs to park at a hospital than how much it will cost to get treatment.
All of this results in a system where consumers are totally divorced from prices. This is dangerous because prices are a key ingredient to a healthy market. We rely on prices in every industry to communicate value and drive competition. A lack of transparency can lead to an artificial inflation of prices, making consumers pay more for treatment that is of no better quality.

Astellas ranks 10th in Pharma Trend Ranking 2022
October 7, 2022 by Editorial staff
1 Astellas: Ethical medicines with Japanese roots
2 Multiple awards for Astellas for innovation and sustainability
In the multispecialty ranking "Best Pharmaceutical Companies Germany" 2022, Astellas comes in 10th place in the category "research-based, world-leading pharmaceutical companies by sales". The first places in the category go to Janssen-Cilag, Novartis and Bayer Vital/Jenapharm. Astellas has long been one of the market leaders in Germany in the therapeutic fields of urology and transplant medicine.
Astellas Pharma GmbH is a German research-based pharmaceutical company with Japanese roots. It was formed in 2005 from the merger of Yamanouchi Pharma GmbH and Fujisawa Deutschland GmbH (formed from Klinge Pharma).
Headquartered in Munich, Astellas Pharma employs about 300 people in medicine, marketing and sales. In the German pharmacy market, Astellas generates annual sales of around 420 million euros, mainly with drugs for the therapeutic areas of transplantation medicine and urology – in which Astellas has long been one of the market leaders in Germany – as well as anti-infectives and oncology.
Astellas: Ethical medicines with Japanese roots
The parent company is Tokyo-based Astellas Pharma Inc (Astellas Seiyaku K.K.), one of the three largest Japanese pharmaceutical companies with Takeda Pharmaceutical and Daiichi Sankyo and one of the 20 largest worldwide. Astellas Pharma Inc's 2021 sales reached 1.323 trillion Japanese yen (JPY), equivalent to about €9.5 billion. Research spending was €1.73 billion, or about 18% of sales. Astellas employs around 16,500 people worldwide.
The Japanese group has identified the main sales drivers for 2021 as: Xtandi™ (prostate cancer), Xospata™ (acute myeloid leukaemia), Padcev™ (metastatic bladder cancer), Evrenzo™ (renal anaemia), Betmiga™ (overactive bladder), Prograf™ and Advagraf™ (immunosuppression). Some of them are being further developed for other indications. Astellas' research focus areas (Focus Area Approach) are vision loss and regenerative therapies, immuno-oncology, mitochondrial biology and gene therapy.
In the Western subsidiaries, Astellas reports a share of women among employees of around 54%, in Japan it is 31% and in China 61%.
Astellas has been a member of the United Nations Global Compact since 2011 and is committed to ethical business. The company is involved in numerous social projects at home and abroad.
Multiple awards for Astellas for innovation and sustainability
Since the start of the Pharma Trend benchmark study in 2000, Astellas Pharma GmbH has already received the award "The Golden Tablet" for innovation and sustainability nine times, including four times in a row (2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2014-2017). Astellas first received the award "The Most Innovative Product" in the specialist group of urologists in 2014 for Betmiga™, then in 2015 and 2016 for Xtandi™.
Awards for innovation and sustainability since 2000:
The Golden Tablet (2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2014 – 2017)
Betmiga™ (2014)
Xtandi™ (2015, 2016)
About the award ceremony
The awards were announced on 13 September 2022 at the Deutsches Museum in Munich. The keynote speech was given by the patron of the event, the Bavarian Minister of Health Klaus Holetschek, Bavarian State Ministry of Health and Care. The festive awards ceremony was hosted by TV presenter Tamara Sedmak (Sat 1, n-tv, N24).
Pharma Trend - The market research on innovation and sustainability
The basis for the ranking and the awards is the Pharma Trend benchmark study, which has been conducted annually in the Rx category among physicians in Germany since 2000 and since 2018 also in the OTC and Orphan Drugs categories, and since 2019 also in the Specialty Care category on behalf of the PharmaBarometer magazine (https://pharmabarometer.de/pharmabarometer/). In 2021, the study was expanded to include the categories "Diagnostics" and "Digital Health Applications". With the expansion of Pharma Trend, companies in pharmaceuticals and medical technology are assessed on innovation and sustainability via their most important stakeholders – doctors, pharmacists and patients. This year, Pharma Trend was conducted online with 700 physicians, including allergists, general practitioners, dermatologists, gynaecologists, oncologists/haematologists, paediatricians and urologists, as well as 100 pharmacists and 600 patients.

Quick action prevented a nightmare on Elm Street prevented tragedy
July 22, 2022 By Deborah Anderson, Express Staff
Christine Akusis of Winnetuxet Road, Plympton, said, "It was one of the scariest moments of my life" on her Facebook post Tuesday. She and her husband were out for an evening walk with their dog Ace on Monday when a silver truck sped down Elm Street in Plympton. When the driver saw the couple he swerved and lost control of his vehicle, according to neighbors, snapping the utility pole. Acting quickly, her husband threw Christine and Ace into the wooded roadside, out of harm's way. He was hit and thrown by the truck according to witnesses, but is also going to be all right. Ace spent a hard night Monday night and was off to the vet Tuesday morning, according to Christine's post. The young male driver who was on his way to West Street, was taken by Halifax ambulance to Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Plymouth to be checked out. Plympton Police Chief Matt Ahl said that charges will be filed.

Here's the defensive score sheet from Duke's 93-81 win - its eighth victory in the series' last 11 games.
James McAdoo continues to struggle in big moments. Foul trouble killed him in this game (he did pick up three first-half fouls) but for him not to grab a single rebound has to say something about his game, right? Basketball is more about talent; it's about heart. McAdoo must have NBA-talent in some scouts' minds but I'm curious what they say about his heart. This is the kind of game he needed to exert himself early and instead he became an afterthought. That's unacceptable for a NBA lottery pick.
UNC got killed on the boards (Duke's offensive rebound percentage was 53 percent!) as it surrendered 16 offensive boards to grabbing just 14 defensive boards. I'm sure Kennedy Meeks' illness and limited action played a role but somethings still shouldn't happen.
Jabari Parker wasn't great defensively but he was not the liability some people make him out to be. He played pretty well given the variety of matchups he had in the game.
After his season nightmare in Duke-UNC Round I Amile Jefferson came to play Saturday night. His on-ball defense wasn't all-star caliber but he was very active defensively - even off the ball - that he forced a game-high 3.5 turnovers. Blue Devil faithful should be excited as his future is really bright in Durham.

Bosses at Macclesfield College have been ordered to make urgent improvements after an inspection by Ofsted.
The centre at the Park Lane Learning Zone which has 2,180 students, was judged as 'requiring improvement' after a visit by the education watchdog.
The college has suffered a turbulent few years with Ofsted inspections. In 2012 it was slammed as 'inadequate' but within 15 months of new principle Simon Andrews' arrival was deemed 'good'.
But during 2014/15 student achievement plummeted and college governors appointed a new principal, Rachel Kay.
Following an inspection in May lead inspector Steve Hailstone found while the new leadership had 'taken decisive action to tackle weaknesses' and 'improved quickly the quality of provision in many areas' the college is lacking in six of seven areas including: leadership; teaching; personal development, behaviour and welfare; outcomes for learners; and its 16-19 and adults programmes.
The only area it was praised for was its apprenticeships scheme, which currently has 248 students.
Mr Halistone found the college was 'too positive' in its evaluation of the progress made and students made insufficient progress, particularly with Maths and English, because teaching was not challenging enough. He also found attendance was too low.
Rachel Kay, principal of Macclesfield College, said she was pleased Ofsted had recognised changes have started to have an impact.
She said: "The report identifies a number of areas of strength at the college including improvements in retention and attendance, the positive behaviour and attitudes of learners to their work and the strong partnerships that exist that are enabling us to meet local priorities.
"The leadership team here at Macclesfield College has a very clear vision of how we will continue to drive up standards of teaching and learning for all our students.
"We are confident that this year's results, expected during the coming weeks, will reaffirm the progress that has been made to date.

Hear the Original Versions of 10 Songs Made Famous by Janis Joplin
Michael Gallucci
Tucker Ransom, Getty Images
Janis Joplin (1/19/43 - 10/4/70) wasn't much of a songwriter. She penned only a handful of the songs that made her famous during her brief career, including the favorites 'Down on Me' and 'Move Over.' Joplin found most of her best cuts in various genres that spanned a number of eras: R&B, country and even in the Great American Songbook. Hopefully, our playlist of Original Versions of 10 Songs Made Famous by Janis Joplin will introduce you to some great songs that influenced one of rock's most magnetic singers.
'Ball and Chain'
Originally Performed by "Big Mama" Thornton
Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton was an Alabama blues singer best known for singing 1953's 'Hound Dog,' which Elvis Presley took to No. 1 three years later. In 1968 she wrote and recorded 'Ball and Chain,' and super-fan Joplin quickly picked up on it, recording a searing version of the song on Big Brother and the Holding Company's 'Cheap Thrills' album the same year.
'Cry Baby'
Originally Performed by Garnet Mimms & the Enchanters
The original version of 'Cry Baby' was the first and biggest hit by Garnet Mimms & the Enchanters, a vocal group from West Virginia. Their version reached No. 4 in 1963. Eight years later, Joplin just missed the Top 40 with her cover, which was released on her posthumous No. 1 album 'Pearl.' Joplin plays down the R&B elements a bit, but her soaring voice during the chorus is remarkably faithful to Mimms' original.
'Get It While You Can'
Originally Performed by Howard Tate
Like several other songs made famous by Joplin, 'Get It While You Can' was written by Jerry Ragovoy, a Philadelphia-based songwriter who also penned songs recorded by the Rolling Stones (he wrote 'Time Is on My Side' under another name), the Small Faces and the Butterfield Blues Band. 'Get It While You Can' was originally performed by soul singer Howard Tate, whose version stalled outside the Top 100 in 1967. Joplin's version fared a little better in 1971.
'Maybe'
Originally Recorded by the Chantels
Joplin had a hand in writing only two songs on her 1969 debut solo album, 'I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!,' choosing instead to cover a bunch of old soul and blues classics, like the Chantels' 1958 girl-group hit 'Maybe,' one of the best pop songs ever made. Joplin added some grit and her familiar rasp to her bluesy, soulful cover.
'Me and Bobby McGee'
Originally Performed by Kris Kristofferson
Kris Kristofferson was already making a name for himself as one of the era's sharpest songwriters by the time Joplin recorded her only No. 1 hit. The original version of 'Me and Bobby McGee' was actually recorded by country star Roger Miller, but Joplin used Kristofferson's take from his 1970 debut album as a template . . . and then totally owned the song (which can be found on 1971's 'Pearl').
'Piece of My Heart'
Originally Performed by Erma Franklin
Joplin's breakthrough hit, which she performed with Big Brother and the Holding Company, was originally sung by Erma Franklin, the older sister of the Queen of Soul, Aretha. Franklin's version of the smoldering R&B cut was released in 1967, a year before Joplin and Big Brother got hold of it for their classic 'Cheap Thrills' album. Franklin's version, a Top 10 R&B hit, reached No. 62 on the pop chart.
'Summertime'
Originally Performed by Billie Holiday
Billie Holiday, the great jazz singer whose life was just as tragic as Joplin's, wasn't the first artist to record 'Summertime,' but she did have the first pop hit with it, way back in 1936, a year after George Gershwin and DuBose Heyward premiered it in their classic modern opera 'Porgy and Bess.' 'Summertime' has been covered thousands of times over the past 75 years. Joplin recorded it with Big Brother and the Holding Company on their 1968 album 'Cheap Thrills.'
'To Love Somebody'
Originally Performed by Bee Gees
Joplin didn't exactly make 'To Love Somebody' famous'; the Bee Gees' original version hit No. 17 in 1967. But her scorching take on the song from her debut solo album, 'I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!,' two years later helped cement her reputation as one of the era's great singers. Joplin slows down the tempo, but otherwise she keeps much of the song's spirit -- including the punctuating horns -- the same.
'Trust Me'
Originally Performed by Bobby Womack
Soul great Bobby Womack actually wrote 'Trust Me' for Joplin, who included it on her posthumous 1971 album, 'Pearl.' But Womack -- whose numbers have been covered by everyone from the Rolling Stones to the J. Geils Band -- later cut his own version of the song, instilling a bluesy sway to 'Trust Me' that Joplin's more famous take only hinted at.
'Try (Just a Little Bit Harder)'
The opening cut on Joplin's 1969 solo debut, 'I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!,' was originally recorded by Lorraine Ellison, an obscure soul singer from Philadelphia. She scored a handful of minor hits in the mid '60s, none of which cracked the Top 40 (her biggest song, 'Stay With Me,' stopped at No. 64). Ellison recorded 'Try (Just a Little Bit Harder)' during this period, but it didn't have much of an impact on record buyers. Joplin heard it, though.
