Here's a short excerpt for your enjoyment.
It's a bit tricky because it's not easy to analyze by ear from/to which notes Janice bends in which time. I guess with tools like Praat it's way less work, but if you'd write a new song you would have to do it by ear anyway.
And my voice is not bluesy. And the processing chain is different.
But you get the idea:
