The irony of having to come to a predominantly white country - England - to become famous.

Spectacular video

A yo Cory are they using your voice for the Al narrator one hears online?

Personal as a white English Kid living the UK around 1973 I never understood why Americans of Africans decent never revived the genius of Jimi Hendrix I understand better now! Nice work Corey!

Great commentary! Thank you for your work❤

I think the black community just wasn't into the hard rock style of music Jimmy was not only drawn to, chose and became iconic in that realm. Look at the crowds, they were white. Black people wasn't paying money to his concerts. He made is mark amongst those who supported him. The other cultures. He was/is the greatest of the great guitarist and musician. Music isn't a cultural thing as much as it is a vibrational and spiritual thing. One was either in alignment with his musical expression or they weren't. 'The Jimmy Hendrix Experience' wasn't a secret. His music was available world wide. I loved his guitar skills and music growing up. I had his poster on my wall as a young girl fascinated by bands and live music while growing up in New York in the 80s. My family and young friends were very familiar with him.

Thetes before hendrix and after hendrix

What I find interesting is that it took more than half a century for our people to finally catch up to Jimi. Back in the day, alot of black folks wanted nothing to do with him. His music was seen as too abstract and wild. My how times have changed!

That's a bad man! Excellent

Jimis the whole package ❤

My best group of all time is the band of gypsies ❤

Yes, sir.He was my first idol and my greatest idol.It's because of him.I played the tough for 54 years.God bless Jimmy.And thank you again man I subscribed❤

Chloe, you are so right.Jimmy should have his own day in Black History Month.Actually, he should have his own holiday.Anyone call bless you and I'm glad you put this on TH-cam.I'm with you brother❤

I bought a few of these CDs. Knew it wasn't Jimi. Funk'dUp nonetheless and I kept tellin tha cashier that THIS WASNT Jimi and she got mad at me. Run me my cash back lady! Bought em from somebody else

This is good but the automatic subtitling is really bad and wrong.

Prince would smoke Hendrix. Hendrix was white boy good , Prince's guitar had mass appeal.

As a guitarist myself I can't say enough about Jimi Hendrix but I must say the way he used to dress probably influenced the pimps here in the states!

Im sure that girlfriend was also involved. She took so many pictures of him that morning in that garden with tea. She didnt have other pics. Bet she put something in his tea and thats why he was full of barbituates.

Jeffries allegedly admitted to having jimi killed after his death

This is a pean to sheerest paranoia with Jimi Hendrix USED merely as the occasion for the exhaustive contortions necessary to your ''narrative''. Turning the speed up to 1.25 didn't help. Never have I seen anyone so UTTERLY miss the point. I KNOW (by sheer instinct) that you are not any kind of a musician. THAT is part of the problem, professor self absorption! Fortunately, LONG after the fad for such ''academic'' BS has passed, Jimi Hendrix will still bring joy to all those not chocked with the currently profitable exploitation of bile and spleen. OTH, that interview and tour with Leon Hendrix was PRICELESS.

Met Herman's cousin on the road, Daryl. Birds in feather flock together, wise ole man. Spoke very highly of his cousin Herman and told me stories of traveling with him. Being in a hotel with the likes of James Brown. Was choked out by a certain smell and told the group "can we crack a window it's way to funky in here." Leading to the creation of Make it Funky. Neat little story, from a neat guy. Wherever your at Daryl, I'd love to talk at you again brother.

Well done Corey!!!!!!!!

Jimi hendrix was a master he said the guitar play him. What a goat ✌ Nala.

True

Thank you for your contributions. Its taken a decade to fully understand Jimi's guitar proficiency--it is quite remarkable and as a guitarist for over 15 years, I'm just fully starting to understand where his technique and sound is influenced from. Soul, funk, R&B, blues, rock and jazz too. I even hear some country influence sometimes in the technique he uses.

the first rap song is "trouble every day" by frank zappa released in 1966...zappa basically rapped the whole song

Just saying.

Hey my man thanks for this video I'm a huge Jimi Hendrix fan I never knew he had a younger brother but I've been into Jimi Hendrix all my life. I'm black but I grew up in a multi-racialy Family. I had 3 White Godsister who listen to rock n roll amd one was a Hippie that went to Woodstock and loved Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix so i was exposed to him at an early age! My father was mixed so he also listen to all kind of music including the pop am stations back in the day and all along the watchtower was one of my favorite Jimi Hendrix songs .My aunt who by the way is from New York took me to see the Beatles when they were at Shea Stadium so yeah and i like them too and of course i like Soul music being black. But i am well rounded when it comes to music especially being a musician. Now im going to explain to you about Jimi and black people. Jimmy was black but he was a rock and roll guitarist through and through. I have black friends and I have white friends growing up. When I was with my black friends all they want to listen to was soul and r&b. I can remember being in a car with them and changing the radio dial and will hear like Jimi Hendrix playing and would stop to listen and one of my black friends would say man turn that shit off lol. The point that I am trying to make is that back in the day black people thought that Jimi Hendrix loud guitar playing was noise. He played with The Isley Brothers and Little Richard and he was too much for little Richard and he had to kick Jimmi out the band. So yeah Jimmy had to go to where he was accepted which was England and get with a couple of white guys because they were digging and playing his kind of music which was Rock and Roll he basically followed in the steps of chuck berry the father of rock and roll and Jimmy use to play Johnny B Goode one of Chuck Berry songs.

I was so glad to come across this video as I have explained for decades how the black community saw Jimi as an outsider. Growing up in the late 60's/early 70's it always made me laugh that kids had no time for Hendrix, but loved Parliament/Funkadelic a band that would still be doing Temptation ripoffs if it hadn't been for Hendrix and Sly Stone. Sly had credibility in the black community because they had pop hits you could dance to. I remember Hendrix being referred to as "Acid Rock" which was not meant in a good way. It gets touched upon in "White Men Can't Jump, but this video explains it much better. Thanks.

Now in my mid-60s, I began my Jimi Hendrix journey at the age of 12, months after his passing. Not a day goes by that I fail not to listen to at least one song by him. What people fail to realize that at the time of Jimi leaving us, he wanted to make music like a powerful exlir to heal the world. That was his direction. Most of us in the African-American community didn't understand Jimi back then. He was, and still is so far ahead of us. Listen to his music and message. They're need now, more than ever.

THIS IS AWESOME, KEEP-UP THE GOOD WORK MR.WASHINGTON, I BEEN INTO JIMI HENDRIX FOR OVER 50 YEARS - RIPOWER.

Too bad that we cannot hear much of what Leon was talking about. He was close to Jimi, but after Jimi went into the Army, they lost track, and Leon did some jail time, not having Jimi's good influence around any longer.

This is really cool I don't have time to watch the whole thing but I will... I grew up in the early nineties as a working class white boy but my father was really in the r&b and blues so I grew up listening to Jimi... That was not typical of someone from my area and or social class though.. it's because my father was right out of the 60s I got exposed to all that good music and I'm really thankful for it now...**last night at work I was listening to a documentary about BB King and he said :"in about 1968 following the explosion of all the British blues-based groups such as the Cream and the Stones, my audience flipped from being 95% black to 95% white" now mind you he was not upset about this because this is when he started making a little bit of money too... Just thinking about that will blow your mind

Thank you loving jimmy so much wouldn't be complet with iut knowing this thanks again i was born in 71 and i love him so much long live jimmy and thanks to his little bro also

This brother is so right

Promo`SM 😄

I bought those albums when they came out . I knew that wasn't Jimi 🤠

It is sad that so many are victims of MIND CONTROL , that so many havent the intuition , spirituality , & CARE to see through the RACE GAME !...That we the common people are ALL slaves to this very day , we are all in the same struggle , victims of the SCOURGE ( money /one-eyed-man ), its time to open thine eyes before its too late...hell, its already too late ...Row -row-row your boat gently down the stream ,merrily-merrily-life-is but-a-nightmare -at-this-point...<0> * <0>
