Real R&B time!!! Not that crap that passes as R&B these days!!!
Mr. Hendrix with The Isley Brothers in 1964:
And Mr. Hendrix again with Billy Lamont in 1966:
And this is Hendrix recording with Curtis Knight in July 1967, shortly after buying his first Wah Wah.
These last two recordings came about because in 1965 Jimi had signed a 3 year contract with Ed Chalpin of PPX Studios (A subsidary of Capitol Records). A year later Jimi went to England, forgot about the contract, and signed with Track Records/Polydor, and for the US market Warner Bros.
As soon as "Are You Experienced" came out, Chalpin contacted Hendrix's management, and had him come back to New York to record an album. These are a couple from those recording sessions. The problem was Chalpin didn't think it was marketable, so he sued for something like 5 million dollars (which is about 34 million in today's money). Eventually they came to a settlement, Capitol would get a Hendrix album, and that's how the "Band Of Gypsys" album came about.
