The sweet-looking young lady in this yearbook photo, taken in 1960, is also a member of the "27 Club" of rock music. That is, she died at the tender, too-young age of 27, passing away in October of 1970, thanks to her hard-partying lifestyle.

This singer may have left this earthly plane over 40 years ago, but that powerhouse voice of hers is remembered and remains a staple of classic rock music, thanks to songs like 'A Little Piece of My Heart.'

It's sad to think this photo was taken a decade before she would die with all that music left unsung. Her bluesy voice is emblematic of the 1960s. She is gone, but not forgotten.
