Jimi hendrix was simply from another universe to the rest of mere mortals
he was the god of guitar, long live the greatest guitarist that ever was and ever will be people like clapton used to worship Hendrix, he could do any style of music, he was funky, mysterious and simply out of this world its just a shame these days, that people don't appreciate the greatest guitarist that ever lived, especially from the black audiences, jimmy was the shit, he was so good, Santana gave up playing for a few years after seeing jimmy do his stuff nuff said | |

...And as i've heard it said, "Looking like some circus clown" (check the Are You Experienced cover) And they certainly didn't expect to hear... Purple haze all in my brain Lately things they don't seem the same Actin' funny and I don't know why 'Scuse me while I kiss the sky ...lyrically 
Nor the sounds emanating from his guitar... 
...sonically. Now I had some Black friends that were down, but most weren't. The way they saw it (the ones that weren't), he was playing "that white boy music" tA  Tribal Disorder
http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431  That was cool how you turn this essay into a short picture film! 
It's mess up if Jimi never got the respect from black folks that he deserve, despite his earlier connections with Little Richard & The Isley Brothers. But still in all, Jimi gets mad respect by real music fans today as The Greatest Guitar Player Of All-Time. Period!  | |

they beileve if it aint gospel is devils music ...not to mention he dealings with drugs ----- Jimi used drugs. I have never read anything about Jimi selling drugs. Black people did not get a chance to hear Jim's music since black stations played RnB music only. I think you guys need to remember this was the 1960's. OMG he said "dealings WITH drugs", which is entirely different from "dealing drugs"   I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

 Probably due to a lack of hits singles in r&b markets. When my brothers brought home Hendrix records, it was the entire album and we typically bought singles of other artists first. test | |

This is an interesting angle, as Jimi was far more of an albums artist than a singles artist imo (another factor making him appeal more to whites than blacks), and in the '60s, it seems that black American pop music and soul artists in general were far more geared towards singles, not albums. With a few exceptions ('Otis Blue' perhaps), black artists (excluding jazz artists), audiences and record company bosses didn't seem to really cotton (no pun intended) on to the albums market until, like 1970-ish, with Curtis Mayfield's first solo album and Marvin's 'What's Goin' On' in '71 and then Stevie's and so on. Sly's early albums are pretty patchy imo (excluding 'Stand' anyway), for example, and he was alert to the Hendrix effect. | |

1970 - 71 was when I had started buying my own records and I remember this clump of five albums from back then.
