James Marshall “Jimi” Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942 – September 18, 1970) was an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Although his mainstream career spanned only four years, he is widely regarded as one of the most influential electric guitarists in the history of popular music, and one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes him as “arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music”.

Born in Seattle, Washington, Hendrix began playing guitar at the age of 15. In 1961, he enlisted in the US Army, but was discharged the following year. Soon afterward, he moved to Clarksville then Nashville, Tennessee, and began playing gigs on the chitlin’ circuit, earning a place in the Isley Brothers’ backing band and later with Little Richard, with whom he continued to work through mid-1965. He then played with Curtis Knight and the Squires before moving to England in late 1966 after bassist Chas Chandler of the Animals became his manager. Within months, Hendrix had earned three UK top ten hits with the Jimi Hendrix Experience: “Hey Joe”, “Purple Haze”, and “The Wind Cries Mary”. He achieved fame in the US after his performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, and in 1968 his third and final studio album, Electric Ladyland, reached number one in the US. The double LP was Hendrix’s most commercially successful release and his first and only number one album. The world’s highest-paid performer, he headlined the Woodstock Festival in 1969 and the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 before his accidental death in London from barbiturate-related asphyxia on September 18, 1970.

Hendrix was inspired by American rock and roll and electric blues. He favored overdriven amplifiers with high volume and gain, and was instrumental in popularizing the previously undesirable sounds caused by guitar amplifier feedback. He was also one of the first guitarists to make extensive use of tone-altering effects units in mainstream rock, such as fuzz distortion, Octavia, wah-wah, and Uni-Vibe. He was the first musician to use stereophonic phasing effects in recordings. Holly George-Warren of Rolling Stone commented: “Hendrix pioneered the use of the instrument as an electronic sound source. Players before him had experimented with feedback and distortion, but Hendrix turned those effects and others into a controlled, fluid vocabulary every bit as personal as the blues with which he began.”

Hendrix was the recipient of several music awards during his lifetime and posthumously. In 1967, readers of Melody Maker voted him the Pop Musician of the Year and in 1968, Billboard named him the Artist of the Year and Rolling Stone declared him the Performer of the Year. Disc and Music Echo honored him with the World Top Musician of 1969 and in 1970, Guitar Player named him the Rock Guitarist of the Year. The Jimi Hendrix Experience was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005. Rolling Stone ranked the band’s three studio albums, Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold as Love, and Electric Ladyland, among the 100 greatest albums of all time, and they ranked Hendrix as the greatest guitarist and the sixth greatest artist of all time.

Details are disputed concerning Hendrix’s last day and death. He spent much of September 17, 1970, with Monika Dannemann in London, the only witness to his final hours. Dannemann said that she prepared a meal for them at her apartment in the Samarkand Hotel around 11 p.m., when they shared a bottle of wine. She drove him to the residence of an acquaintance at approximately 1:45 a.m., where he remained for about an hour before she picked him up and drove them back to her flat at 3 a.m. She said that they talked until around 7 a.m., when they went to sleep. Dannemann awoke around 11 a.m. and found Hendrix breathing but unconscious and unresponsive. She called for an ambulance at 11:18 a.m., and it arrived nine minutes later. Paramedics transported Hendrix to St Mary Abbots Hospital where Dr. John Bannister pronounced him dead at 12:45 p.m. on September 18.

Desmond Henley embalmed Hendrix’s body which was flown to Seattle on September 29. Hendrix’s family and friends held a service at Dunlap Baptist Church in Seattle’s Rainier Valley on Thursday, October 1; his body was interred at Greenwood Cemetery in nearby Renton, the location of his mother’s grave.

  2. Jimi Hendrix was murdered by his manager Michael Jeffery. Jimi was leaving his management, and Mr Jeffrey had an insurance policy on his "investment". He didn't take all those pills, he force fed them, along with a ton of wine, which he had not imbibed. Jeffrey confessed to a confidant that he was wracked with guilt, right before his plane crashed.

  5. Oh Boy! It'll be a GLORIOUS day when these two grifters are done for good! It's as if they're going out of their way to be as snobby as possible. I just wonder how much longer they can keep this up? Eventually, even their besties are going to be done with this nonsense.

  7. My mom's side is 7 generations deep in the PNW & Alaska; Dunlap relocated to Renton years back and now the old location is an Ethiopian/Eritrean Christian church. My 1st house was in Tukwila and we (me & the wife) would see Al Hendrix when we would be around in Renton/Skyway area, which was close by. Our Australian Cattle Dog is even named Jimi…and everybody loves him, 😆

  9. Great video Scott. Maybe Jimi is actually still in the ground beside his mother and they didn’t even move his body ? They might have created a diversion by building a monument, so the fans don’t mess up his original grave or his mom’s. My guitar hero and mentor Edward Van Halen was “supposedly” cremated and his ashes thrown into Malibu harbor, when they might actually be sitting on Wolf Van Halen’s mantle, or he might not have been cremated at all and his body was buried in a secret place, the same thing might have happened to Scott Weiland of STP. The is some “weird” people and fans around that do break into graves and steal/ damage things, so a lot of celebrities are choosing to having their graves unknown to the public. I remember hearing about when Steve Gaines was killed in the 1977 Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash, he was cremated with his sister and someone broke into their grave and spilled some of Steve’s ashes all over the ground. Again, great video of a great guitarist. R.I.P. Jimi Hendrix

  23. the girl mourning in black to Miles Davis's right (our left) was the cutest of Jimi's girlfriends. too bad she wasn't there on the morning of his death. I mean Monica was barely acquainted w/ him, really. her Goddam pills killed him. on REELZ channel, the 'AUTOPSY' show gave a pretty good account of how he died. too many inaccurate stories surround famous, deceased people. his work will last forever. thanx, Scott.

  24. they really overdid his new resting place. the old one was just fine. w/ the Strat on his stone. it actually appears in the film 'Singles'. Matt Dillon is in a band in the movie, and poses next to it. Jimi lost his Mum too soon. he grew up in a single parent house w/ his Dad, as the single parent. he would leave Jimi and Leon by themselves for long periods. no rosy childhood for them. Leon became a draftsman for BOEING CORP. he claims Jimi started him drawing because Leon would be underfoot when Jimi was trying to either play guitar, or make lunch, so Jimi tied a pencil w/ some string around his hand ,and said, "draw, Leon".
