Resonating with Hendrix's strong presence and words, Jimi Hendrix is the powerful story of a young black man who overcame his poverty-stricken background and the racial segregation of the sixties and turned himself into something rare and special. Sharon Lawrence was a valued friend during the last three years of Hendrix's life - someone he trusted enough to be open with. Based on their extensive conversations, most of which have never before been published, this powerful biography allows us to see Jimi's life through his own eyes as he describes his harsh childhood, his early struggles to make it as a musician and his joy at finding recognition first in Britain and then in America. He talks about his love of music, his disillusionment with the record industry and his despair at the legal problems that beset him. Including major insights from more than fifty fresh sources who have previously kept their silence, this is also a revealing investigation into the events surrounding Jimi's tragically early death and what has happened to his legacy in the ensuing thirty-five years.
