Piece of My Heart by Big Brother and The Holding Company debuted Aug 68 and peaked at number 12.

The group formed in San Francisco with Janis Joplin and had two more chart entries in 1968, but they failed to crack the top 40.

Erma Franklin's 1967 original peaked at number ten on the r&b chart. Most recently it was sung by Tiffany Hadish at a wedding in Here Today (2021).
