  I don't agree. I consider Jimi Hendrix as one of those rare Blacks that I will always write with a capital B.  I was around when he started with Hey Joe and after that he even became better. When he teamed up with black musicians I pulled out; they were trash. He was definitely a legendary musician without whom Stevie Ray Vaughn would've sounded a lot different, probably less interesting. Also nice to know: Hendrix was a trained paratrooper of the 101st Airborne Division. (Which of course has nothing to do with his musical skills).  Hendrix was also known for being a race-mixer who routinely beat his White girlfriends.:rolleyes: And he was a total slacker in the Army, he was always getting himself in trouble, he broke his ankle so they gave him a discharge. He was just another Black(and 1/4 Cherokee) scumbag, IMO. Although yes, he did have some good songs I will admit.
