He had an authentic voice that few others matched, and was not overrated as a guitar player.

Perhaps the biggest loss to Rock n Roll of all-as Hendrix reinvented electric guitar as well as Rock music.He was in a period of transition at the time of his death-about to branch out into many different forms of music.We'll never know what treasures may have come from his forays into other sounds (such as jazz and what is now known as "world" music).His death is even more tragic since he was ALIVE when he was put in the Ambulance,but they took an indirect route to the hospital and lost him on the way.Some people have even cried foul play.I only know I wish he was still around!
