Hendrix's style was unique. Although he synthesized many styles in creating his musical voice, being a visionary, there was something in his playing that was truly his own. Despite his hectic touring schedule and his notorious perfectionism, he was a prolific recording artist and left behind more than 300 unreleased recordings besides his five official LPs and various singles.
His astonishing career and ill-timed death has grouped him with Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison as one of contemporary music's tragic "three J's", iconic 60's rock stars that suffered drug-related deaths at age 27 (see The 27 Club) within months of each other, leaving legacies in death that have eclipsed the popularity and influence they experienced during their lifetimes.
In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine named Hendrix number one on their list of the "100 greatest guitarists of all time".
