Despite his limited mainstream exposure of four years, he is widely considered to be the greatest electric guitarist in the history of popular music and one of the most important musicians of the 20th century.
I found this excerpt in an old vogue article;
"40 years ago Jimi Hendrix died, crushing under the weight of exhausting tours (like the ones in the 70s were), after burning the candles on both sides. He left us with a handful of memorable albums, a non-indifferent quantity of archive material that, little by little, fills the "bests of" and leaves more sadness behind"
