American Record Producers - Jimi Hendrix, Madonna (Entertainer), Cher, James Brown, Jared Leto, Kelly Clarkson, Ike Turner, Christina Milian, Bria (Paperback)


Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pages: 187. Chapters: Jimi Hendrix, Madonna (entertainer), Cher, James Brown, Jared Leto, Kelly Clarkson, Ike Turner, Christina Milian, Brian Wilson, Marvin Gaye, Maynard James Keenan, Usher (entertainer), Alanis Morissette, Phil Spector, Jim Steinman, Moby, Lenny Kravitz, Todd Rundgren, Ray Reach, Trent Reznor, Black Francis, Timbaland, Andrew W.K.. Excerpt: James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942 - September 18, 1970) was an American musician and singer-songwriter. Despite a limited mainstream exposure of four years, he is widely considered to have been the greatest electric guitarist in the history of popular music, and one of the most important musicians of the 20th century. Influenced musically by American rock and roll and electric blues, following initial success in Europe with his band the Jimi Hendrix Experience, he achieved fame in the US after his 1967 performance at the Monterey Pop Festival. Later, he headlined the Woodstock Festival in 1969, and the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970, before dying from drug-related asphyxia at the age of 27. Instrumental in developing the previously undesirable technique of guitar amplifier feedback, Hendrix favored overdriven amplifiers with high volume, gain and treble. He helped to popularize the use of the wah-wah pedal in mainstream rock, which he often used to deliver tonal exaggerations in his solos. He also pioneered experimentation with stereophonic phasing effects in rock music recordings. The recipient of several prestigious rock music awards during his lifetime and posthumously, the Jimi Hendrix Experience was inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992, and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005. English Heritage erected a blue plaque to identify his former residence on Brook Street, London, in September 1997. Rolling Stone ranked his...
