Comedian Michael Winslow Jimi tribute: amazing

Michael Winslow, who was in the movie Police Academy, does amazing vocal work. I'm sure you have seen him, either in the films or on television or at a club. This is his amazing Jimi guitar impression. Remember, this is all a guy using his voice, no guitar:

Very funny.
Haven't seen that one in a while.

I've heard one version of Purple Haze where the lyrics went something like...

Purple Haze all in my brain
What's this "brother" doin' on the stage


...Except the word "brother" was substituted with the n-word.


Here's his take on Led Zep's...

He was in Houston last weekend. I couldn't go to his show but I heard him on a morning radio show. Really cool, very funny and his vocal abilities are simply amazing.

I remember seeing him on the "Dating Game" back in the early 80's. And I think he won too. That Geico commercial with him is funny.

Yeah, that was from Cheech and Chong's "Nice Dreams" I've seen a stand up special of him from the late 80's..I saw it on IFC. He was doing Hendrix there as well. The cat "understands" Hendrix's use of feedback, Jimi's phrasing, the whole 9. It's more than him just imitating Jimi's sound. You can tell the cat has been a true fan of Hendrix's long before. That's always been my impression anyways.
