Such a great story. Jimi did have a short, tough life. But he never gave up. He just got caught up in all the confusion of show business. I wish he had better friends. But he didn't. I have been a follower/fan of Jimi's music since I found his Are You Experienced album in a K Mart store in 1967. I was thirteen years old. It changed my musical life forever. Thanks Jimi. You were so generous and kind. Play on brother...
first album I ever bought was Electric Ladyland in 1968 - after hearing All Along The Watchtower on the radio, I just had to get it. I was 14. Jimi, AND Steve Winwood on organ, Jack Casady on bass, Chris Wood on woodwinds, Dave Mason on acoustic guitar. Everybody wanted to play with Jimi. Those were the days.
My older next door neighbor let me borrow his copy of RU Exper. in '67 as well. I saw him in concert in '70 a couple of months before he died. He was full of heroin and could barely walk from his limo to the outdoor stage. It was brutal.
I was 15 then, when I first heard "Purple Haze" on the car radio (my mother was driving), and it mesmerized me, the music and his guitar sounding so wild, so different from anything I'd ever heard before. So many have incorporated Jimi's playing style as their own, after his passing, but, at the time, he was certainly unique and projected a powerful presence as a musician and "flower power" representative of the late-'60s counterculture.
It was a touching well made story. it's a funny thing, Jimmy looks way more like his Mamma than anyone else in the family. Without his classy Grandma, he would never have made it to the big time!.
"'Scuse me, while I eat these fries." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 That's a perfect ending to a great video - unique and touching. And the perfect suggestion for my dinner and music tonight.
😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉 foxy lady a vegan flexi vegetarian it SO IS shit ,even my dad would smil😊 starvation musicians ,tourbusing it They all loved a good steak fryed 2 perfection .ouch
A common theme that I noticed in all greats is that they started obsessively practicing as a form of therapy to heal from a traumatic life event or bear the weight of a chronic illness, or even, to deal with being used as a child prodigy. Prince got abandoned by his parents when he was found making love to a girl at 12 years old (a story he would later tell in the movie Purple Rain). Tony Williams, drummer for Miles Davis starting at 17 years old, was abandoned as well at only 8 and was left in an apartment with nothing in it except a drumset. Art Tatum was so poor and alone, that he didn't knew the records he listened to were made using mechanical pianos, so learned to play the bassline in chords on every song! Those are a few notable examples. Almost every artist I know myself included, practice their art first and foremost to heal themselves. Perhaps this is why it is so healing to others.
The guitar has always been there for me, through thick and thin. Even if just 1 string is all it has, there it is to take all of what I can give it, never judging, never arguing, just always there. Not sure if therapy would be less expensive but I do have something to show for the money spent.
Most kids today to know that he was a rockstars rockstar. Nobody could play the way he did when he first hit the scene. He is an absolute American Icon unlike any other in my book. Thanks for the video I loved it.
Somebody actually loved Jimi and miss the little boy and the young man. A story I've never heard, or loud enough to hear, over his music. Thank you for this. Peace and love. 😊🙏🎉
A lot of folks thought that Jimi was anti American, thinking his rendition of the Star Spangled Banner was derogatory. The exact opposite is true! Jimi was super patriotic, an ex military veteran, and a huge supporter of the troops. Just because he raised his "Freak Flag" high, that was more of a symbolic show of individualism . We could sure use him today, and I'm convinced he could help unite the country with his music!
I've a feeling that Jimi's potential to unite the country against corrupt government is the reason the FBI targeted him. That's why the red wine filling his lungs along with the pills is a clue to what happened. Have a look at that research.
Agree. I misspoke, In fact he was absolutely patriotic with the rendition and it’s purpose. So sad he’s not around, he’d be the only one with the guts to say the truth in any matter. Such as - Belly button window
Jimi Hendrix changed my life ! When I saw how he was , how he was doing things , I decided to be free and let it flow. Waved my freak flag high. Thank You Jimi !
I was lucky to hear Jimi perform twice. First time at Woodstock. Last time was at the Isle of Fehmarn, a week before we lost him. Thanks for the wonderful story !! I never knew his connection to Canada.
@@curbozerboomer1773the us army sent me there. The train ride to N. Germany was full of people going to hear him. It was packed over full. Hash pipes got passed down the aisles. It was more fun than the concert really. Cold and windy day. Cheers!!
You were lucky to see that part of the 60s. I was born 17/8/69. They say if you remember the 60s, you were not there... I guess I qualify 😅.. always great to read commentary from people that saw those times. Cheers 👍
@curbozerboomer1773 there was people from all over the world at Woodstock, wish I could have been there, but I was only 4yrs old🤣, I did have a friend that was there at my age in his baby carrier on his mother's back .
Nice little history lesson mixed in with some Julia Child cooking tips !! “Excuse me while I eat these fries “ - god bless Jimi Hendrix and his musical genius- “ …..1983 a merman I shall turn to be “ ……” must be …..a change of climate “ 🎼🎸💥💥💥😱🙏🌏✌️
Such an interesting way to tell the story. I love how this series ties everything together with food - something that brings people together, offers comfort, and sharing food is a way to show people you care or are cared for. Can’t wait for the next one to learn the stories of others.
From Nora to Jimi they gave so much...DNA rich in cosmic spirit...thanks for sharing this & I hope you enjoyed that steak but we all know you did. Awesome video & warmed the heart
Wow Thank you Neal ! I thought I had read everything about Hendrix that could be bought but I have never heard such a lengthy dissertation about Jimi's grandmother in Vancouver.This video was absolutely fasinating. Keep up the good work! DD
Al Cooper tells a story about meeting Jimi at the Tin Angel restaurant across the street from the Cafe Au Go Go in Greenwich Village. Kooper asked Jimi what he was eating, and Jimi said it was something the house made for him. It was Ground beef, Rice & vegetables. Kooper said he still eats this, because it was good and a reminder of Jimi.
i live in the area and it saddens me every day that the blue building is not accessible anymore. but i'm very glad to see this part of Jimi's life be given more dedication, thanks for the video.
Correct. I am Johnathan Foster, born sept. 18 1970 .. natural drummer since age 2 1/2 and I thought I knew all the important concepts about Johnny Allen, James Marshall. However, this COMPLETELY blows out of the water everything about him selling his soul to the devil, or that there was some guitar god in Tennessee that taught him some “thing” that Jimi took and changed it into something nobody else had, and “then” he became the jimi we all know…..now is all not true. He was always then going in this direction because he knew who his grandmama was and grandpa, and the talent, and ya know they “hada” say somethin’ to the guy sometime. And it’s not now his story that he just so happened to take to the guitar, he was already aware. And the family has been making money on this idea not telling people or making it widely known that his grandma was a prominent entertainer, it just changes everything about how he began, and why he was so much of a stand out even in the army, people realized he was really good. This all came from his grand parents his brother and sister never speak about. What a bunch of liars. And I have tried to speak with them and they won’t speak with me. However, this also doesn’t change fact that he WAS NOT AN OVERDOSE, HE JIMI HENDRIX WAS MURDERED. THIS IS NOT AN ACCIDENT IT’S A MURDER. AND THE FAMILY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO CHANGE THE STORY, THE ARE MAKING MONEY ON THE LIE. Forensics today, modern forensics after the body is exhumed would tell the real truth about how this wonderful person, half Cherokee Native American, not completely black, how this gifted musician was murdered, the forensics today would tell the truth. The sister and brother will not do this. This is a complete crime against humanity.
@@jdf237That's great u were born on September 18 1970. I have a former NBA friend that was born on NOVEMBER 27. Let Leon Hendrix tell the story; music ruined the family. His words, not mine. But yet, Leon has his own band & plays some of JIMIS' songs. As for step sister Janie, it's just business with the JIMI HENDRIX name. Funny how advancement in technology can end 1 era. The film industry spelled the end of Vaudeville. Nora & her sister Belle wore many lavish costumes during the Vaudeville era. It's obvious that 'ol Jimi listened to his grandmother's Vaudeville stories growing up as well as their AFRICAN -CHEROKEE ancestry.
@@RICHBLACKCOCK all respect, but no the brother is a liar and I didn’t know for the longest time because of just not knowing information and real history which I have learned a lot more over the years, and the sister is a liar, they got all the money and real reason to do a state of the art forensics autopsy and they won’t. This is sad. They’re a bunch of sad ass liars. And I do not mean that personally, I just mean that on the facts that we know now, I have complete proof that it’s a murder. 100% fact. All the information is already on paper, and the brother sister duo will not tell the truth. This is sad. Sometimes it makes me so mad I wish I could punch him, not that I would, ever, but it does make me really mad. I do not want to leave it up to his brother, he is not telling the truth. And my problem is no one gives me any credibility because of what the whole concept sounds like: there is some chump born the day Jimi was murdered and says he knows how to prove that Jimi was murdered, but no one else can????? I know I sound like I am fucking crazy but everything about me is true. I am the only friend Jimi Hendrix has, I am the only one standing up for the truth about this wonderful person, and that he is not a casualty, he is not an accident, he did not overdose, he did not commit suicide, a guy who does not drink red wine …. we’re all being told by the autopsy that he drowned in red wine, and there was tons of it in his stomach, a guy who does not drink red wine, was fully clothed when found, vomit completely dry, dried red wine everywhere, and the pills…. it says on the autopsy that the pill, bigger ones and smaller ones were found in his stomach. Most people don’t realize what that means: it means the pills were undigested and undigested sleeping pills can not put a person to sleep, and undigested sleeping pills can not kill anyone. The blood alcohol content was extremely low in the blood which means he was murdered before digestion could take place, THIS PROVES 100% murder. Jimi was murdered. My friend.
And because of God I was born with credibility to speak about this in ways the family won’t, because just like me, it hurts too much to speak about it. There are few things that make me cry, this is one of the very few. I do have the credibility to say this, and I am the only one alive with credibility that can say this.
Went there several years ago to visit the blue shrine (Nora's restaurant). Glad to see it's still there. Hope they keep it as part of the neighborhood restauration.
I just subscribed because you were able to produce an excellent documentary in under 5 minutes! I shared this video with my brother since he is Jimi Hendrix fan.
' While I eat these fries ' , LOL !!! How much of a Gift in life can it be to have a hand in seeing a talent beyond Belief develop and lasso the World before your very eyes !!!!!!
Nice, but it should be noted that Jimi did not start writing songs until _after_ he moved to England, initially under the mentorship of Chas Chandler. When he was "discovered" by Chandler playing the Café Wha?, he had no original material whatsoever. The fact he began writing such brilliant pieces immediately following the formation of the Experience speaks for his compositional genius. Anyway, many thanks for the video.
This is very nice to see. Might I add, since it isn't often considered relevant enough, the fact that Ed Chalpin's contract with J.M.H. was the source of much of the musician's hardship and heartache. Chalpin was in London when Jimi died, and Michael Jeffrey no longer supported Hendrix, opening the door for Chalpin.
Love this. Growing up I always took Hendrix for granted, but a few years ago I listened to Axis Bold As Love back to front for the first time and fell in love. I bought a white squier strat with my first ever paycheck after that.
Do not know where you got the idea that Jimi ate that specific dish!...but your info was to the point, and flawless. Thank you for that1..And you can sure see that Jimi got his good looks from his mom, and also his grandma!...Nora was half-black, half Cherokee Indian. On his mom's side, there was some white folks a couple generations back..You can see that his mother was light-skinned..her sister said that she could "pass"--for being white. That info explains Jimi's looks...He was a brown-skinned black, with some American Indian features. Some of his fellow musicians thought he was an Indian-from India!..lol. BTW...ALL meat should be cooked to an internal temp of 165*...Medium is the best way to cook up a delicious steak!
Really enjoyed your presentation. Most of that I was not aware of; the early years with his folks and grandparents. It was such a loss to everyone when he died so young. I was going to school in NJ in the late 60's. In '68, the school took us to see him perform in Philly (I was 17). It was the experience of a lifetime.
Interesting, but I don’t like how Jimi Hendrix is portrayed as some kind of tragic figure. From what I understand, and I have read a few biographies, all these stories about drug addictions etc are greatly exaggerated. Losing your mother at a young age is tragic, but he had a good relationship with his grandmother and in the end with his father. I think that by the time he was 23-24 and he came to England he was basically living his dream. He may have been shy but he was also a natural performer, not someone like Kurt Cobain who hated being in the spotlight. His death (like any death)was tragic but an unfortunate accident of a kind that happened a lot at the time, an accidental combination of sleeping pills and alcohol. He is remembered by his contemporaries as a gentle, funny ,polite, and generous guy. And above all a genius musician.
Jimi was not gay even if he said “excuse me while I kiss this guy”.😂 Back in the 80s me and a friend went to Seattle to visit Jimi’s grave. We stopped in a bar in his old neighborhood to ask for directions and ran into a couple of guys who went to high school with him. All they said about him was that he was weird and pretty much a loner.

Was he a Christian

U can say that again bro.
But as patriotic as he may have been, the Anthem was clearly an anti Vietnam thing.
🎶 And the rockets red glare …..

@@sol1120 Yes that's true, but it didn't make Jimi unpatriotic, it just showed how smart he was protesting in his own way against an unjust war.

No. The country can't be reunited and certainly not with music. One party wants to turn the country into socialism. We'll never be United.
Jimi Hendrix changed my life ! When I saw how he was , how he was doing things , I decided to be free and let it flow. Waved my freak flag high. Thank You Jimi !
Poor Nora Hendrix saw generations die. That story is the saddest when you see it from her side.
No doubt that Nora was a very strong Woman.
Despite all the loss She endured, I would think that She was a very sweet and giving individual
Wow, I never considered her perspective on things... 😔

She had been a singer and dancer, back in the 1920s and 30s. Very beautiful!
His grandmother was beautiful! Jimi was also part Cherokee.
the cherokee were allies too the american colonies of the revolution war or the war of 1812
Grew up listening to his music never knew much about his private life. Thank you for sharing.
A great, pleasant little story. Not many of these around. Good job.

The Vaudeville connection speaks volumes about Jimi's ability to entertain
YES ! ... Wow, I did not know that. He had "ham" in his DNA, very interesting.
Correct. I am Johnathan Foster, born sept. 18 1970 .. natural drummer since age 2 1/2 and I thought I knew all the important concepts about Johnny Allen, James Marshall. However, this COMPLETELY blows out of the water everything about him selling his soul to the devil, or that there was some guitar god in Tennessee that taught him some “thing” that Jimi took and changed it into something nobody else had, and “then” he became the jimi we all know…..now is all not true. He was always then going in this direction because he knew who his grandmama was and grandpa, and the talent, and ya know they “hada” say somethin’ to the guy sometime. And it’s not now his story that he just so happened to take to the guitar, he was already aware. And the family has been making money on this idea not telling people or making it widely known that his grandma was a prominent entertainer, it just changes everything about how he began, and why he was so much of a stand out even in the army, people realized he was really good. This all came from his grand parents his brother and sister never speak about. What a bunch of liars. And I have tried to speak with them and they won’t speak with me.
However, this also doesn’t change fact that he WAS NOT AN OVERDOSE, HE JIMI HENDRIX WAS MURDERED. THIS IS NOT AN ACCIDENT IT’S A MURDER. AND THE FAMILY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO CHANGE THE STORY, THE ARE MAKING MONEY ON THE LIE. Forensics today, modern forensics after the body is exhumed would tell the real truth about how this wonderful person, half Cherokee Native American, not completely black, how this gifted musician was murdered, the forensics today would tell the truth.

Growing up I always took Hendrix for granted, but a few years ago I listened to Axis Bold As Love back to front for the first time and fell in love. I bought a white squier strat with my first ever paycheck after that.
Nice. Squier is a great guitar. Enjoy!
Love his Music❤
This is wonderful🙌🏿❤️🙌🏿
That was good. You made me laugh at the end.
Nice work!
Thanks!
Jimi Hendrix also played in other bands. Isley Brothers, Jimmy James and the blue flames and Little Richard
So interesting!

If you pardon the turkey this makes for a pretty good Thanksgiving. We all enjoy a good meal and should celebrate more often. God Bless.
Nicely done. Low key, informative and respectful.
Thanks for that.
Thank you so much for this information... 🇲🇽✌😎

Great video! 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks.
Saw him only once, it was worth the wait. And let's face it, we've all eaten a guitar.
Jimi 4 ever 🔥🔥🔥🔊
Yes sir givas more of how to kook a stake your psicotherapy is good😊
Do not know where you got the idea that Jimi ate that specific dish!...but your info was to the point, and flawless. Thank you for that1..And you can sure see that Jimi got his good looks from his mom, and also his grandma!...Nora was half-black, half Cherokee Indian. On his mom's side, there was some white folks a couple generations back..You can see that his mother was light-skinned..her sister said that she could "pass"--for being white. That info explains Jimi's looks...He was a brown-skinned black, with some American Indian features. Some of his fellow musicians thought he was an Indian-from India!..lol. BTW...ALL meat should be cooked to an internal temp of 165*...Medium is the best way to cook up a delicious steak!
Great Content 💯♥️
you are a simple yet entertaining storyteller. I enjoyed this vid!
I'm glad you liked it. Thanks Dan.
Really enjoyed your presentation. Most of that I was not aware of; the early years with his folks and grandparents. It was such a loss to everyone when he died so young. I was going to school in NJ in the late 60's. In '68, the school took us to see him perform in Philly (I was 17). It was the experience of a lifetime.
Cool that you got to see him.
Bon Appetite!
Interesting, but I don’t like how Jimi Hendrix is portrayed as some kind of tragic figure. From what I understand, and I have read a few biographies, all these stories about drug addictions etc are greatly exaggerated. Losing your mother at a young age is tragic, but he had a good relationship with his grandmother and in the end with his father. I think that by the time he was 23-24 and he came to England he was basically living his dream. He may have been shy but he was also a natural performer, not someone like Kurt Cobain who hated being in the spotlight. His death (like any death)was tragic but an unfortunate accident of a kind that happened a lot at the time, an accidental combination of sleeping pills and alcohol. He is remembered by his contemporaries as a gentle, funny
,polite, and generous guy. And above all a genius musician.
What an interesting idea for a video. Very cool.
Thank you!
Wow what a great video
Darn it. I just cut up some potatoes to make fries but, I don't have a steak, Now I need to run to the market. Nice story.
Very nice love the story Respect
Well Done, thank you.
Incredible how he aged so fast, 27?-he looks in his mid 40s when he passed.
Yes, in some photos he looks pretty old. The stress, anxiety, and exhaustion adding up.
Thanks for this, friend.
I Dig ✌🏿That Acoustic Guitar 🎸 Version Of “Hey Joe”
Jimi was not gay even if he said “excuse me while I kiss this guy”.😂 Back in the 80s me and a friend went to Seattle to visit Jimi’s grave. We stopped in a bar in his old neighborhood to ask for directions and ran into a couple of guys who went to high school with him. All they said about him was that he was weird and pretty much a loner.
Looks delicious!
Lol, I just like how you said don't be sad as I'm bawling my eyes out
I realized after the first cut that it was a downer. Important to look at the bright side. Thanks for watching.
Great History Lesson
thanks.
Beautiful history. Thank you!
he played guitar for only 12 years and maybe the electric guitar for less than that.. monster
Well done ❤ Jimi Nora Hendrix
Room Full of Mirrors is a great biography about his life.
👍 that’s him playing bass too. No one ever talks of what an amazing bass player he was. Amazing bass lines in bold as love and cry of love
Who is playing that bluesy acoustic guitar in the background, it's awesome....
Ha! that's me. I'm glad you like it. I'm still a beginner guitar player. It's the chord progression from his first hit.
