Jimi was always at The Scene when he was in New York and we played many times together. He was just everywhere - he went out and jammed everywhere he was.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
He saw us play a few times in fact. I did this song called I Can't Keep From Crying Sometimes, and Jimi loved it. He paid me a huge compliment when he told me that he was thinking of doing something similar himself!
I've always been the first to admit that Jimi was a very big influence on my early stuff.
Jimi... He was the gov'nor and that's it. He was brilliant, wasn't he?
Jimi was a good guy 'til he got into drugs. That's the way it is. I just tell it like it is.
Nobody could understand why a guy would love his guitar, then all of a sudden turn around and try to destroy it. Jimi was just different.
I was very friendly with Jimi Hendrix because my boyfriend at the time, Tommy Weber, was making a film about him, so I would go to all of his shows.
If there's anybody who knew how to play in a studio, it was Duane Allman.
I saw Jimi Hendrix - it must have been four times. And he was incomparable, and his legend lives on.
But then there was Hendrix, man. Jimi was really the last cat to freak me. Jimi was playing all the stuff I had in my head. I couldn't believe it, when I first heard him. Man, no one can ever do what he did with a guitar. No one can ever take his place.
I never really got to know Jimi as a person.
