The Heavier Than Heaven : A Biography of Jimi Hendrix is a biography. The reason I selected this book because I really like to playing or listening music espeacially rock music, and Jimi Hendrix is the king of rock for me.
The story takes place in Seattle, Washington in 1942 - 1970. The most important of this story was Jimi Hendrix who has called the king of rock and roll for many people.
The story is about Jimi Hendrix life since he had born untill he died. Guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Jimi Hendrix was born in November 27, 1942, in Seattle, Washington. Learning to play guitar as a teenager, Hendrix grew up to become a rock guitar legend. He began his career by playing in a number of bands in his youth. Hendrix later enlisted in the United States Army in 1961 and became as a paratrooper. Even as a soldier, Hendrix found time for music, creating a band named The King Casuals. He served in the army until 1965 when he was discharged because of an injury.After leaving the military, Hendrix pursued his music, working as a session musician and playing backup for such performers as Little Richard, Sam Cooke, and the Isley Brothers. He also formed a group of his own called Jimmy James and the Blue Flames, which played gigs around New York City’s Greenwich Village neighborhood. In mid-1966, Hendrix met Chas Chandler, a former member of the Animals, a successful rock group, who became his manager. Chandler convinced Hendrix to go to London where he joined forces with musicians Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell to create The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
The story ended sadly. I think Hendrix did many good music and he still be an idol for many rocker. Hendrix died on September 18, 1970, from drug-related complications. While this talented recording artist was only 27 at the time of his passing, Hendrix left his mark on the world of rock music and remains popular to this day.
The person that I like the most is Jimi Hendrix. He was the king of rock for many people before I was born ,and firs time when I listened to his music I thought he is the king of rock too.
I like this story because it is about my idol life, and I think this is a good book because it is a real life. I think people are not going to be happy entire of their life, so if we do our best before we die other people still recollect us for long time.
