| Hendrix: Lots of people have done different
arrangements of it, and Timmy Rose was the first to do it slowly . . .
. I like it played slowly. There are probably 1,000 versions of it fast
by the Byrds, Standells, Love and others. It was the first time I ever
tried to sing on a record. I was too scared to sing. Chas made me sing
serious. I just wish I could sing really nice, but I know I can’t sing.
I just feel the words out. I try all night to hit a pretty note, but I’m
more like an entertainer and performer than a singer. (Notes to Jimi Hendrix:The
Ultimate Experience, page 11) |
