Jimi Hendrix: The Man they Made God (1999x6)

Air date: Jun 05, 1999

Both a barnstorming showman and a misfit, Jimi Hendrix was a jumble of contradictions. A black guitarist ensnared by the trappings of fame that a white audience had given him, he became an icon of peace but adopted a pro-military stance. Friends and fellow musicians remember Hendrix against the backdrop of footage from the guitarist's short life.
