This is Jimmy Norman. While he recorded with Jimi Hendrix in 1966 ......THIS particular song does not have Jimi Hendrix playing guitar. If it did, we would know.
good song but please in memorie of master Jimi Hendrix this is not Hendrix voice OK go and do a bit of research.........peace god be with you Jimi Hendrix
It's not Johnny "Guitar" Watson, either. His name is Jimmy Norman, and he recorded this remake of Watson's Gangster Of Love in 1968. Hendrix actually played with him as a sideman in his early years, but no one knows if he played on this one, though it seems kind of unlikely. Don't call people retarded, you're not even right yourself ! Peace.
@CAM99 man i was waiting for some crazy Hendrixian chords/blistering solo vibrato'd into infinity to come in until I saw this written, i was thinking Jimi's sound cut through regardless of who he played behind or in front of LOL.
@peaceoflove18 Seriously, never...I've read just about everything there is to read on Jimi and James Brown was never mentioned. Little Richard, Ike and Tina, Wilson Pickett, John Hammond, Isley Bros., Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, Percy Sledge, and many others. Too bad he didn't play with JB...
@jleonard6815 Oh really? Maybe you should share them here. Because that would make you the only person on the planet that has these recordings! Which recording? Where? When? Come on now. You are either a very lucky man to have such a rare thing, or have been fooled into thinking you have a rare recording.
Jimi did play with James Brown! He had the same problem with little Richard when he'd let lt go and upstage his boss. But he put his time in & paid the dues of rhythm & blues. I worked at Are You Exp. LTD for 5 years. All of that was part of Jimi's unique education of diversity. He could play anything!
You know whats weird. I have this Jimmy Norman - 'Gangster of Love' 45 that is this same song. That's def. him singing on it. Hendrix plays guitar on it. Must of been released twice under both names.
Excellent song, sweet beat

We are Hendrix followers bro' we don't call nobody retarded.
Now you are close it is a Johnny "Guitar" Watson Song, But that in no way could be his voice. No tone or pitch anywhere.

This is Jimi when he was playing with James Brown.
Can't you just hear the funkyness of James Brown?
It is so hard to hear that it is JIMI but JIMI isn't himself obvious as usual.
This isn't what I would call Hendrix music.
Yes, Jimi is playing.
Although he sounds constrained.
Sorry to think of Jimi being restrained.
It is just not for the right, that a Genious like JIMI be musically restrained. AT ALL !!!
