Still, these folks are blues, not rock.
@badradger saidAll this - on a headfull of drugs - in 1968. A beautiful charismatic man, a musical genius, only on the scene for a few years - then sadly gone.

James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix was an American rock 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.

Died: 18 September 1970, Notting Hill, London
@drewnogal saidI read that Hendrix could neither read nor write music. He is said to have envisioned the sounds he wished to create then experimented with them until he got the sound he wanted. That seems like genius to me.
