James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942 - September 18, 1970) was an American musician and singer-songwriter. He is widely considered to be the greatest electric guitarist in music history and one of the most influential musicians of his era despite his mainstream exposure being limited to four years.
He achieved fame in the United States following his 1967 performance at the Monterey Pop Festival after initial success in Europe with his group The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Later, he headlined the iconic 1969 Woodstock Festival and the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival. He favored raw overdriven amplifiers with high gain and treble and was a pioneer in developing the use of feedback and stereophonic phasing effects in rock music recordings. He was influenced by electric blues artists such as B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Albert King and Elmore James.
Hendrix won several prestigious rock music awards, highlights include:
*The Jimi Hendrix Experience inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992
*Hendrix was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005
*A star for Hendrix on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was dedicated on November 14, 1991 at 6627 Hollywood Boulevard.
*In 2005, his debut US album, Are You Experienced, was one of 50 recordings added that year to the United States National Recording Registry to "be preserved for all time" in the Library of Congress as "part of the nation's audio legacy."
*Rolling Stone named Hendrix the #1 top guitarist on its list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all-time in 2003.
This day, September 18th, marks the 42nd anniversary of Jimi’s departure from this world. But, his music lives on across the decades, as does his creative spirit, cunning wit, and love of freedom….. RIP Jimi
