Electric Church was nominated for deletion. The discussion was closed on 19 December 2011 with a consensus to merge. Its contents were merged into Jimi Hendrix. The original page is now a redirect to this page. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected article, please see its history; for its talk page, see here.

Text and/or other creative content from this version of Jimi Hendrix was copied or moved into Canadian drug charges and trial of Jimi Hendrix with this edit. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

Hendrix is actually from Renton, not Seattle

Renton, as a smaller municipality in King County, is often historically conflated with Seattle. Renton's Chamber of Commerce will gladly confirm that Hendrix was born and spent much of his youth there. Hendrix is also listed as a Notable Person on Renton, Washington. Stebenthom (talk) 05:41, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The official Jimi Hendrix website and other reliable sources say that he was born at the King County Hospital in Seattle, which is now known as the Harborview Medical Center. Hendrix is buried in Renton and his childhood home was moved from Seattle to Renton. But I see no evidence that he was born in Renton. Cullen328 (talk) 07:23, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good Article Nomination

This is a really great article that good authors have clearly devoted a lot of time to. It should be nominated for Good Article Review. Reeeeet (talk)It just needs something about when he started going by "Jimi." NjtoTX (talk) 23:03, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

101st Airborn Division

According to Wikipedia, Dan Inosanto, a Filipino martial artist and close friend of Bruce Lee, was also in the 101st Airborn Division as a paratrooper from 1959 to 1961. There is a slim possibility that he and Jimi Hendrix crossed paths in 1961. Dan is 88 years old in 2024. It would be fascinating to know if they did, and to document it. 24.246.125.95 (talk) 15:58, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 {{backwardscopy|title=The Essential Jimi Hendrix|author= Rotimi Ogunjob|date=2006|comments=Following concerns quite rightly raised about duplicated content between this article and the book, I did a history search on the text, looking for the run "recording regimen" and find it entered [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Jimi_Hendrix&diff=40509769&oldid=40495046 in this edit in 2006]. The red flag there: it didn't enter as one piece of cloth, but was edited from what already existed. If you look at the content as it appears in that book, which also purports to have been created in 2006, you can see that the changes in that incremental edit are all in that source. I took the text string as it appeared before that change--"went from a disciplined recording ethic"--and followed it backwards from there. It was added [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Jimi_Hendrix&diff=38916088&oldid=38911394 earlier that month] by an IP. Already in the article at the time of that addition, we find "relatively narrow neck", which text is present in that book on page 32, along with the surrounding material. A search for that in the article finds it entering in [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Jimi_Hendrix&diff=4704136&oldid=4704130 July 2004], several years before ''The Essential Jimi Hendrix'' was published. Already in the article at ''that'' time is the phrase "slipped into his bag by a fan without his knowledge" which is on page 21 of the book. This is all strongly suggestive of natural evolution here. --[[User:Moonriddengirl|Moonriddengirl]] <sup>[[User talk:Moonriddengirl|(talk)]]</sup> 23:23, 29 July 2012 (UTC)}}

-== Stage Clothing ==
-Many of Jimi Hendrix clothes were designed and made by Michael Braun of Michael & Toni Designs out of Tampabay Florida. The crushed velvet pants that Jimi wore at Woodstock, Michael hand crushed the velvet. An interview with Michael Braun is in the Experience Hendrix magazine. A letter exists from Jimi to Michael & Toni asking for more clothes describing that clothes should be especially made as art.The velvet patchwork jacket hanging in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame was also made by Michael as well as the flowered printed shirt shown in Life Magazine published in 1969.
