George Harrison, before he passed away after a battle with
Lung Cancer.

On November 29, 2001, English musician and songwriter George Harrison died at the age of 58. Harrison achieved global fame as
a member of
the Beatles and went on to a successful solo career
that included frequent collaborations with many of the foremost musicians of his generation.

Harrison was born in Liverpool in 1943 and joined the group, then
known as the Quarrymen, when he was barely 15. Harrison became
the group’s lead guitarist and frequently sang, but he developed a reputation as the “quiet Beatle” and was oftentimes overshadowed
by the duo of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Nonetheless, his influence on the group, and rock music in general, was profound.

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

He joined the army in 1959 and became a paratrooper but was
honorably discharged in 1961 after an injury that exempted him
from duty in Vietnam. In the early 1960s, Hendrix worked as a
pickup guitarist, backing musicians including Little Richard,
B.B. King, Ike and Tina Turner, and Sam Cooke.

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.

The band’s first single, “Hey Joe,” hit No. 6 on the British pop
charts, and the band became an instant sensation.
