Jimi Hendrix served in the United States Army as a paratrooper from 1961 to 1962 but, he still found time for music in those years of defence service. After being discharged from Military due to injury, Hendrix pursued his music as a session musician and played gigs around New York.



In mid 1966, Hendrix moved to London where he created 'The Jimi Hendrix Experience'. The band gave 3 UK Top Ten Hits within months. 'Hey Joe', 'Purple Haze' and 'The wind cries Mary' were instant smash in Britain. With his performance at Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, Hendrix won over American music fans.



Already proclaimed as the World's highest-paid performer Jimi performed at the legendary musical event, The Woodstock Festival in 1969 before his untimely death at the age of 27 on September 18, 1970.
