I didn't know Jimmy Hendrix was British.

Jimmi's story is pretty fascinating.

He worked in Little Richard's Band and in the Islay Brother's Band for a while.

Little Richard fired him because Hendrix wanted to wear flashy cloths and be a star too and Little Richard didn't want to get upstaged.

Hendrix went to England to put together a band. He was playing at a nightclub and Chas Chandler of the band the Animals saw him play. Chas assured Jimi that he would hit the big-time in England.

So Jimi went to England and hit the big time he did. The Jimi Hendrix Experience first hit it big in England where Jimi was living at the time. The other two members of his band were British.

So I think Jimi deserves a place in the British Invasion. He influenced rock music everywhere from England.
