Summary

Jimi Hendrix was arguably the most talented guitarist in the history of rock music, wowing fans, fellow musicians, and critics alike with his guitar wizardry, outrageous theatrics, and flamboyant costumes. His is a true rags-to-riches story: A poor black kid growing up in desperate circumstances in Seattle becomes a rock legend who leaves an indelible mark on American culture. Like other rock and roll legends who lived fast and died young, Jimi Hendrix seemed to cram a whole lifetime into a short span of time; as he once said, "I'm the one that has to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to." He left behind a musical legacy that lives on, influencing new generations of musicians and fans.

Excerpts

Jimi Hendrix once said, "I'm the one that has to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to." And so he did. A poor black kid from Seattle, Washington, Jimi Hendrix became a rock legend who left an indelible mark on American culture. This updated biography illuminates the guitarist's life for students with fresh information and compelling photographs. Named number one on the Rolling Stone magazine "List of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time," the left-handed Hendrix wowed fans, fellow performers, and critics alike with his musical wizardry, outrageous theatrics, and flamboyant costumes. Like other rock legends who lived fast and died young, Hendrix seemed to have crammed several lives' worth of experience into 27 short years, but his legacy endures, influencing successive generations of musicians and winning new fans born long after his death.
