At last year's Grammys, singer Melissa Etheridgeblew away the audience when she channeled Janis Joplin in the tune "Piece of My Heart." But it wasn't just Etheridge's raspy, blues-infused vocals that made the performance memorable: She had just finished chemotherapy for breast cancer and was completely bald.
