Right after Jimi Hendrix finished his recording of the album the Cry of Love in September 1970 he would spend a week or 2 in London and in the middle of that visit Jimi was hospitalized after a near fatal overdose of barbiturates.
After that he would continue on with his legendary and creative career in which he would experiment with many styles of music both solo and the Jimi Hendrix Experience when they reunited in 1975 such as his more Progressive and Jazz phase in the mid late 70s to his more New Wave and Funk phase of the early part of the 80s to his more Arena Rock/return to Hard Rock phase of the mid and late 80s.
Hendrix battled drugs still through the years however he thankfully he fully became clean in the 90s when then his music took a more pop friendly approach.
What if though Hendrix left us on that day in 1970? How would rock music change in general? How would he been remembered would he still be seen as a legend who despite a short career? Or would he still be seen as one of the biggest “What if?” stories?
