Jimi Hendrix was born in Seattle, Washington. Hendrix grew up
playing guitar, imitating blues greats like Muddy Waters as well
as early rockers.

In 1964, he moved to New York and played in coffeehouses,
where bassist Bryan Chandler of the British group the Animals
heard him. Chandler arranged to manage Hendrix and brought
him to London in 1966, where they created the Jimi Hendrix
Experience with bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch
Mitchell.

Man, marked the beginning of the folk-rock revolution. In just a few months, the Byrds had become a household name, with a #1 single

of the British Invasion with the harmonies and lyrical depth of folk to create an entirely new sound.
