I love the music of James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix. It is electrifying.
I've never heard of it! i would like to learn more
His career only lasted 4 years, but he is one of the most influential guitarists of all time.
when was he born?
he began playing guitar at age 15 in 1957, so he was born in 1952.  His hometown was Seattle, Washington.
cool
Of course, i meant he was born in 1942, sorry for the typo.  In 1961, he enlisted in the army as a paratrooper, but that did not last long.
It's okay :) When did he become famous?
After the army, he moved to Clarkesville, TN and played with the Isley Brothers and Little Richard on the Chitlin circuit until 1965.
