The definitive account of Jimi Hendrix's inspiring and tragic life-from one of his dearest friends and most-valued confidants. A young black man who captivated whites in the segregated sixties, Jimi Hendrix radiated genius and personality when he picked up a guitar. His fans admired him, loved and worshipped him-and still do. 2005 marks the 25th anniversary of his death. Jimi Hendrix: The Man, the Magic, the Truth is not just about looking at the rock legend who died at the age of 27. Rather, the book takes the reader inside his life, his death and its amazing aftermath. It is both a bio and a serious investigation. Jimi Hendrix: The Man, the Magic, the Truth will tell and show what really happened to Jimi Hendrix in his life and his tragically early death with rare, never-before-seen material including unpublished conversations, legal documents and insights from more than fifty fresh, pertinent sources who have previously kept their silence. The book will correct false information, illuminate key truths and supply facts that have been previously withheld from the public. Sharon Lawrence met Jimi Hendrix in 1968 soon after becoming a young reporter. They hit it off and gradually she became a trusted friend, compassionate confidante and sounding board for Hendrix, whose fast fame found him disillusioned and overwhelmed with business and personal problems he could not have imagined in his worst nightmares. For three years Jimi discussed with Lawrence, at length, his music, his past, his family, his business concerns, his fellow musicians, his worries over The Experience, and his creative dreams for the future during intense, sometimes humor-filled, conversations. Lawrence was present in Jimi's last year of life and talked extensively with him in the days before his death on September 18, 1970, and has waited a long time to tell what she knows about Jimi Hendrix. She is the one and only person to tell the startling truths behind the remarkable life of one of rock n' roll's greatest legends. The Washington Post - Mary Ishimoto Morris Lawrence's insightful rendering of Jimi Hendrix the human being is the first written by someone whom Hendrix apparently trusted with his deepest thoughts and feelings -- about his music, family and career. Her Hendrix laughs, worries, shouts, cries, smokes, shares cherished photographs, talks about problems with his family, irons a shirt, flings furniture.

She is the one and only person to tell the startling truths behind the remarkable life of one of rock n' roll's greatest legends The Jimi Hendrix legend has lived on longer than the man, who died in 1970 at the age of twenty-seven. More than thirty years later, what the world knows about him has become deeply distorted. Now Sharon Lawrence, a trusted friend of Jimi's in the final years of his astonishing life, has written a serious exploration of his life, death, and enduring legacy, based partly on the author's never-before-heard recorded interviews with the late musician. Jimi Hendrix: The Man, The Magic, The Truth contains new and rare material about Hendrix, with major insights from sources who have previously kept their silence -- from childhood neighbors to rock stars and musicians, to music-industry insiders. This book corrects years of false information, reveals key truths, and supplies facts previously known to only a precious few. It also chronicles the years of mind-boggling legal battles over his estate and legacy. This is the definitive account of Jimi Hendrix, the young man from a pathetic poverty-stricken childhood who invented himself into something rare and special, the man who radiated genius and a bold yet charming personality when he picked up a guitar. It revisits the glory of Hendrix's talent, giving new insight into his sensitive persona, imagination, musical standards, and far-reaching impact. Iluminating, honest, and bracing, Jimi Hendrix will forever change how we view one of rock and roll's greatest icons.
