“Me and Bobby McGee” is a song written by Kris Kristofferson and Fred Foster, originally performed by Roger Miller. Others performed the song later, including the Grateful Dead, Kristofferson himself, and most famously by Janis Joplin, whose posthumously released version topped the U.S. singles chart in 1971, making the song the second posthumously released No. 1 single in U.S. chart history after “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” by Otis Redding. Joplin recorded the song for inclusion on her “Pearl” album only a few days before her death in October 1970. The Italian singer Gianna Nannini recorded the italian version of the song (Io e Bobby McGee) on the album “California” in 1979
