The track “Buried Alive in the Blues” on Janis Joplin’s 1971 album Pearl was instrumental because Joplin passed away the night before recording the vocals.

Maple Leaf Rag is one of Scott Joplin’s most famous compositions, first published in 1899 and often considered the piece that made ragtime a national craze. Maple Leaf Rag's syncopated rhythms & pleasant melodies became a defining example of ragtime piano style. The success of Maple Leaf Rag not only brought Joplin financial stability -- but also cemented his reputation as the “King of Ragtime.”
