Jimi Hendrix's original name is Johnny Allen Hendrix. He was born at 10:15 a.m. on November 27, 1942, at Seattle's King County Hospital. He was later renamed James Marshall by his father, James "Al" Hendrix. When Jimmy was younger he took an interest in music, drawing influence from B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Buddy Holly, and Robert Johnson. Jimmy was self-taught, and his inability to read music made him concentrate even harder on the music.

Al took notice of Jimmy's interest in the guitar, recalling "I used to have Jimmy clean up the bedroom all the time while I was gone, and when I would come home I would find a lot of broom straws around the foot of the bed." He'd ask him if he had swept the floor and Jimmy would say

The Experience's first hit single was "Hey Joe." It spent ten weeks on the UK charts, reaching as high as spot No. 6 in early 1967. The debut single was quickly followed by the release of the full-length album Are You Experienced, a musical CD featuring sounds of generations to come. Are You Experienced has remained one of the most popular rock albums of all time, featuring tracks like "Purple Haze," "The Wind Cries Mary," "Foxey Lady," "Fire," and "Are You Experienced?"

Nineteen sixty-nine also brought about a new and defining music group featuring Jimi Hendrix on guitar, bassist Billy Cox and Electric Flag drummer Buddy Miles. Performing as the Band of Gypsys, this trio launched a series of two amazing New Year's performances on December 31, 1969 and January 1, 1970. Highlights from these performances were compiled and later released on the Band of Gypsys album in mid-1970.

Back in America, Jimi Hendrix built Electric Lady Studios in New York City. The name of this project became the basis for his most demanding musical release, the ever popular, two LP collections, Electric Ladyland. Throughout 1968, the demands of touring and studio work took its toll on the group and in 1969 the Experience had broken up.

By the summer of 1958, Al had purchased a five-dollar, second-hand acoustic guitar from one of his friends for Jimmy. Shortly after, Jimmy joined his first band, The Velvetones. After three months with the group, Jimmy left to pursue his own interests. The following summer, Al purchased Jimmy his first electric guitar. It was a Supro Ozark 1560S and Jimmy used it when he joined The Rocking Kings.
