JIMI HENDRIX Book Sparks Legal Battle
- June 23, 2005

|

World Entertainment News Network is reporting that Jimi Hendrix is at the center of a legal battle — despite having died 35 years ago.
The guitar legend's former manager Edward Chalpin insists he has been libeled in a new book about the rocker, titled "Jimi Hendrix: The Man, The Magic, The Truth" and written by Sharon Lawrence.
Chalpin, who shared a stormy relationship with Hendrix, is suing publishers Macmillan for $180,000 for damages and is appealing for an injunction against repetition of the claims.

he inspired a lot of metal guitar players, myself included. I think one could argue that he was of the progenitors of the sound that would eventually morph into hard rock/metal.
