Who Was The Inspiration Behind Jimi Hendrix’s Amazing Song “Foxy Lady”?
And so begins one of the catchiest songs in Jimi Hendrix’s repertoire. “Foxy Lady” (alternatively spelled as “Foxey Lady”) stands as a track by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, initially featured on their 1967 debut album, “Are You Experienced.” Later, it was released as their third single in the U.S., adopting the alternate spelling. This song remains one of Jimi Hendrix’s most recognizable and was a consistent presence in his concert performances throughout his illustrious career.
But who is the “Foxy Lady,” after all? Jimi Hendrix’s electrifying anthem has long been celebrated for its iconic riffs and soul-stirring energy. While assu

Sam Cooke
I just finished reading Dream Boogie: the Triumph of Sam Cooke by Peter Guralnick, a fascinating biography of the legendary singer who was tragically shot and killed in a Los Angeles motel in 1964 at the age of 33. I’ve enjoyed reading other books bygd Guralnick, all of them related to music.
