"Then there was Brian Jones' hair, longer and thicker than anything we'd seen on a man before. The whispered words, 'He looks like a girl!' circulated around the audience, as if that were the worst possible insults."--Marty Clear, audience member at the Mike Douglas Show, 1964

The Jimi Hendrix Connection

In 1956, when he was 14 years old, Jimi Hendrix found an old beat-up ukulele while cleaning up a garage and started to learn playing by ear following along to a couple of Elvis songs on the radio. “He used to sing Elvis songs to me to make me go to sleep,” his brother Leon recalls. “My favorite was ‘Love Me Tender.’”

The following year, on September 1, 1957 Jimi attended an Elvis Presley’s concert in his hometown of Seattle. He couldn’t afford the dollar-fifty ticket so he saw his idol from a hill overlooking the stadium.

Elvis was wearing his iconic gold lamé suit that day. Jimi was far away but he had a closer look at Elvis while he was leaving the venue on the backseat of a white Cadillac. A couple of months afterwards he made this drawing of Elvis with his guitar, with a list of Elvis songs written around him. In 1970, two months before his untimely death, Jimi would play in that same baseball stadium.

In 1968 the New York Times had written an article about one of his concerts calling him “the black Elvis”. Jimi wasn’t fond of journalists trying to label him and he didn’t understand why he was accused of playing white music for a white audience. He got hooked on the blues from an early age and was fond of Elvis’ blues songs as well, saying: “Color just doesn’t make any difference. Really, some people seem to think from their kneecaps! Look at Elvis. He could sing the blues, and he’s white. He used to sing better when he sang the blues than when he started singing that ‘beach party’ stuff”.

Here’s footage of Jimi Hendrix playing and singing his own version of “Hound Dog”, made famous by Elvis but originally a blues song by Big Mama Thornton, while jamming backstage on acoustic guitar.

And here’s Jimi’s live version of “Blue Suede Shoes” from a concert in Berkeley in 1970 and a studio jam where he also briefly starts singing “Heartbreak Hotel” and “Trouble”.
