Johnny Allen Hendrix known by all as "Jimi" was born on November 27, 1942. Jimi Hendrix may have been the most influential guitarists of the 20th century. As a lefty, he play his guitar upside-down and played it with a raw, harder style than anyone before him. Jimi played his guitar louder and faster than anyone had ever heard. He was also one of the few black musicians to become nationally known. Hendrix grew up poor and in a time where race was once again and still an issue in our country. He started playing guitar at age 15 and never stopped from then on. Jimi unfortunately lived the life of a rock star and died suddenly September 18th, 1970, at the tragic age of 27 due to a drug overdose.
