'''Jimi Hendrix''' (1942-1970) was a Seattle-born rock guitarist who pioneered the modern sound of the electric guitar. He is most famous for his performance at the infamous [[Woodstock]] rock festival of August 1969, where he performed a rendition of the National Anthem, and for his singles "Purple Haze", "Crosstown Traffic", "Foxey Lady", and "All Along the Watchtower" (a remake of a Bob Dylan song). He died in a London hotel room at age 1970 on drugs, though the specific circumstances of his death are still not clear.
