He was still a good musician.

@@ILoveGod06 Not really!...and he was also a part-time pimp!...Jimi actually became involved with a woman named Carol Shiroky....who was one of Knight's "ladies".

Also, this guy's Karma caught up with him...he died years ago, from Prostate cancer.

I’m surprised he didn’t say it was a prostate given to him by his dear friend, Jimi.

I agree and it's impossible to be original. We learn from eachother right.

@@WinstonErrolScholsberg facts!!

@@WinstonErrolScholsberg of course it's impossible to be 100x100 impossible. Not even the greatest of the genius, in any art whatsoever.

But every now and then, there comes somebody who looks like it... Because he/she makes the art jump 3 grounds at a time instead of 1, and opens 3 doors at a single slam, and unless one knows all his "fountains", he sounds so fresh that it looks like a revolution. And maybe, he/she is the last one to be aware of his talent! 🧐... Until the moment he is clapped". In my guitar book, it happened with EC in early 66, and then with Jimi in late 66 in London.

Yess I agree 😃 I can hear it too 🎼🤘🏻

Linda Keith was briefly attached to both Keith Richards and Jimi. There's even a KZfaq video of Jimi and Keith backstage at a Stones concert and Jimi asks Keith about Linda. This makes Keith very uncomfortable and he walks out of the room.

@@jono1457-qd9ft I did not think that Keith Richards was uncomfortable, but he did indeed leave Jimi alone pretty quickly after that conversation!

I always thought the Curtis Knight sessions were before Chas Chandler.Not sure this interview is accurate

Who in your opinion did discover Jimi?

@@WinstonErrolScholsberg that’s hard to say really.. was it Little Richard, the Isley Brothers, Chas Chandler? I think Hendrix discovered himself, the English Music Scene helped too.. He needed to get out of that Chitlin Circuit , so I would say Chas Chandler helped Hendrix to discover himself

@@MrBrungers i agree with your analysis and I played with Curtis Knight so I think all the people you mentioned had a part in forming Jimi. Musically he’s his own creator.

SMH if it wuzn't 4 dis brotha, GIVING Hendrix opportunitiez, Linda Keith, woulda never gotten 2 c him per4m. Give Knight sum credit.

@@WinstonErrolScholsberg Winston- did you ever have the chance to see Jimi or speak to Curtis about him?

No, never heard of them either,,,,,,,I believe Curtis has used Jimi's name like so many others he thought where his friends!.

This clip is in color too.

Maybe your next joke will be something intelligent

@@hys1171 yawn

@@hys1171 i am envious of anyone who's never read ur past comments, let alone ur next...

@@EdKazO-Vision I think @mcsplivens is merely expressing his disdain for this high-tech, digital-dystopia that's supposed to produce the best visual art!

"Its hard out here for a pimp!"

Amen!

I am doing my best!

Maybe the first. Add his book to your examples. Knight begins by saying he was out clothes shopping "...with the intention of buying something flash..." when he first saw Mr. Hendrix. And away he went. Exploitive narcissist.

For real. The title track off "Get that feeling" is so uninspired and was clearly thrown together with no care. Nonsense lyrics, no changes in the groove or chords. It's kinda sad to hear Jimi's playing on it (if that really is Jimi). He's still a great guitarist, but you can tell his heart isn't in it. When Curtis tells him to "play that thing Jimi" he just tosses off a few quick little phrases and gets back to playing rhythm. It's so funny to hear him in this video talk about how boxed in Jimi was with the soul circuit and then to hear that track of him not being allowed to express himself really. Playing someone else's inferior music. You can totally picture the conversation that led to that session (because you KNOW it was tossed off in one kinda crappy take): "C'mon Jimi. I could really use some help with this record. With your name on it, it would SELL! C'mon, for old times sake? Remember who gave you your start, baby!" Also, the whole track is in E standard tuning, which is funny because Jimi tuned his own guitar to Eb most of the time (more slack in the strings, easier bends). It might seem like a silly guitar nerd thing to notice, but I'll bet anything Jimi showed up to the session with no gear (or was asked to come along and didn't know there was a session) and was just handed a random guitar and told to make it work. Or he had his own strat and was told to tune to the band, which is absurd because when you play with Hendrix, you tune to HIM. Whatevs, I'm certainly anti Knight after hearing that record and watching him talk up Midnight Gypsies like a skeezy used car salesman. I've heard them and they suck.

Let me tell you something, Jimi Hendrix is dead he is not coming back, Jesus Christ died and rose from the dead, he is truly God. Don't idolise or worship someone who is just human like me and you

@@emmadas You speak the truth.

@@emmadas Datz da sun, ur talking about. Jimi wuz an actual man. Jimi knew dis, I blieve. Tis y he did songz like HERE COMEZ DA SUN.

@@emmadasThank you. Don’t get me wrong Jimi is amazing but we should idolize him. Even Jimi himself didn’t like that.

Curtis didn't do that, Ed Chalpin did it.

How did he do that in your opinion?

@@WinstonErrolScholsberg Knight was too buddy-buddy with the unscrupulous Ed Chaplin, and he probably talked Hendrix into coming into the studio to help out in 1967. I think Knight was Chalpin's sidekick. Later on, Knight wrote a bad book on Hendrix. He was just cashing in. He didn't know Hendrix all that well, and didn't care about him. He just cared about the money. Ka-ching!

@@lisarochwarg4707 Thanks for your reaction, I played with Curtis for two years here in The Netherlands. What i know about the deal with Ed Chaplin is that there was a contract for records and Jimi left for England with Chas without fulfilling the contract that he signed. That is the reason he lost the lawsuit. I agree that Knight wanted to profit by writing a book. Who knew Jimi really?

@@WinstonErrolScholsberg I think Fayne Pridgeon knew Jimi best.

@@thebeatcreeper I think Curtis asked Jimi to fill in at Chaplin's request. Curtis was working for Chaplin, he was on Chaplin's side, and he knew Chaplin would use Jimi's name when he shouldn't have. Of course, Jimi shouldn't have signed that contract, but Knight wasn't helping. Chaplin paid one dollar but ended up making a million off Jimi. That might have been legal, but it wasn't ethical. The music business is vicious. Chaplin was a total prick.
