James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942 – September 18, 1970) was an American guitarist, singer and songwriter. Arguably the "greatest rock guitarist" of all time, he inspired countless guitar players and is among the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century.[1][2] He released 4 albums before suffering an untimely death at the age of 27 and was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
