Photo of The Day - Jimi Hendrix - Gypsy Mood


Jimi Hendrix, London, January 1969, by Barrie Wentzell.  

“Jimi appeared live on Lulu’s T.V. show and caused a sensation when he stopped playing ’Hey Joe’ during the middle announcing, ’We'd like to stop playing this rubbish!’ He started instead to play ’Sunshine of Your Love’, a song by my favourite band Cream!. I saw Jimi by the window and asked Lulu if I could take a picture of them together. Jimi was a BIG star but agreed to a snap. This picture was taken later, with Jimi in a reflective mood and a great outfit.”
