Jimi Hendrix

Jimi Hendrix is an American singer, songwriter and the greatest guitar player of all time. Hendrix started his life in Seatle, Washington where he lived a strange life of being born to a 17 year old mother and a father in the army. so Hendrix looked for a way out and this is how he found music. Hendrix was a abnormal person and one strange fact about him is that he was a right handed guitar player with a left handed guitar; what he would do is play it upside down. Another strange fact is that he taught himself how to play the guitar.
Hendrix was first found by guitarist Keith Richards girlfriend and recomended him to the Stones Manger, he did not take a liking to him so he went with Chas Chandler who was convinced Jimi was the next big thing. He helped him create "Hey Joe" Jimi's first big single , from their Jimi was one of the most well known acts, especially live where he was known to put on magical performances reaching everyone in the crowd. But early september of 1970 Hendrix was found dead in his hotel in London. Though their never has been an official cause of Death many believe it had to do with Hendrix partying. He has given me a shiver down my spine more then one time listening to him perform at a concert is one of the most beautiful things ive ever heard. I can easily say that if i could go back in time and see one concert Hendrix would be my pick; this is why i lable him as the best live act of all time.
