You're Gonna Rise Up Singing
It was the late 60s and Janis Joplin was at the height of her fame. She was known for her powerful voice and her electrifying stage presence. She was constantly touring and performing, but she was always on the lookout for new experiences and inspiration for her music.
It was on one of her tours, that she discovered the combination of lattes and Liege waffles. She was in Belgium, and was introduced to the traditional Belgian street food, Liege waffles. She was immediately struck by the sweet, crispy texture of the waffles and the warm, gooey center.
She also discovered the latte, a delicious and creamy coffee drink that she fell in love with. Janis started to order a latte and a Liege waffle every morning, and soon it became a staple in her pre-show routine.
The combination of the sweet waffles and the rich coffee provided her with the energy and inspiration she needed to perform. She even wrote a song about the experience, entitled "Summertime" which included the lyrics "One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing, you're gonna spread your wings, child, and take to the sky". The song became an instant hit, and her fans also started to order lattes and Liege waffles in her honor.
Janis continued to tour and make music for many years, but she never forgot the role that lattes and Liege waffles played in her success. The combination of the two, will always be associated with Janis's determination to keep going and the inspiration that she found in food and beverages. To this day, many of her fans still order lattes and Liege waffles in her honor, and the line "One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing, you're gonna spread your wings, child, and take to the sky" is still remembered as one of the most iconic moments in music history.
