#OnThisDay #chartfact 15.11.70 Voodoo Chile by Jimi Hendrix Experience reaches UK no 1, two months after Jimi’s death. Born in Seattle, the star (real name Johnny) would go on to be named the greatest guitarist of all time by @RollingStone. His drug-related passing in a London flat at age 27 is considered by many to be an accident, but suicide is not ruled out. This tune, his only chart-topper, evolved from Catfish Blues, an homage to the music of Muddy Waters. Fellow chart star @SteveWinwood plays the Hammond organ on the original studio version of the track. #UKTop3 #OnThisDay 15.11.70 1 Jimi Hendrix Experience, Voodoo Chile youtube/watch?v=elqJBWU4dOc 2 Matthews’ Southern Comfort, Woodstock 3 Don Fardon, Indian Reservation
