Hi Annie!

Well,I wasn't aware that Roger Miller had done the song,so I went to Roger Miller.com the official site. Check out this connection ;

http://rogermiller.com/about19js.html ...you wont believe what you read! ..but it's true!! Turns out,you are right!

I know Gordon had recorded SDYS/IYCRMM during most of 1970,so it was a close call.

Yes,also,"Me and Bobby McGee" is her (Joplin's) only #1 hit and is her only other venture into the Bilboard top 40. She also made the top 20 while part of Big Brother and The Holding Company with,"Piece Of My Heart" (#12 I believe in '68.)<--I'll correct that later if I'm wrong.)
