With a focus on preserving the rich musical heritage of various artists and performers, Legacy offers music enthusiasts an opportunity to explore timeless classics and rediscover iconic sounds from the past.

American modern electric blues guitar virtuoso; lyricist, vocalist. Jimi Hendrix was a self-taught guitarist who rose to fame in the 1960s. He began his career backing R&B greats such as Ike and Tina Turner, Sam Cooke, and B.B. King. In London, he formed The Jimi Hendrix Experience with bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell. Their debut album "Are You Experienced" was released in 1967 and earned Hendrix international acclaim as a premier rock instrumentalist and innovator of his generation.

After a landmark appearance at the Monterey Pop festival, Hendrix released two more successful albums - "Axis: Bold As Love" (1968) and "Electric Ladyland" (1968). These albums showcased his blues-oriented developments and further solidified his status as a musical genius. Despite his untimely death in 1970, Hendrix's music continued to captivate audiences through posthumous releases like "The Cry Of Love" (1971) and the soundtrack to the documentary film "Jimi Hendrix" (1973).

Jimi Hendrix's talent as a guitarist and innovative approach to music made him an iconic figure in rock history. His contributions continue to inspire generations of musicians worldwide.

Painstakingly restored to its original 1969 format, Smash Hits includes timeless classics like 'Purple Haze,' 'Hey Joe,' 'Red House,' 'Fire,' plus eight more hit songs and features a recreation of the poster included in the original album release with Jimi, Mitch, and Noel dressed as cowboys from the Warner Brothers' film studios in early 1969.
