This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | James (Jimi) Marshall Hendrix (1942-1970) was an American musician and is widely regarded as one of, if not the best electric guitarist of all time. After playing in back-up bands for artists like Little Richard and the Isley Brothers, he rose to prominance as the lead singer and guitarist in his band The Jimi Hendrix Experience. First achieving success in England, his American breakthrough was at 1967's Monterey Pop Festival, where he managed to upstage The Who having destroyed their instruments by setting his guitar on fire. Hendrix later played on the notorious 1969 Woodstock festival, where his performance of "The Star Spangled Banner" pretty much revived a very tired crowd, and the 1970 Isle Of Wight Festival. Died early at the age of 27 of a drug overdose, the second (only a few months after Brian Jones) of several prominent rock artists to die at that age (although his blues roots have led some to say that he merely moved the curse from blues to rock, as the legendary Robert Johnson had died at 27, too). |
