Product Description
Synopsis
Kathy Etchingham was Jimi Hendrix's "Foxy Lady", and the inspiration for many of his best-known songs. They lived together in London for nearly two years and she recently hosted a party to celebrate a blue plaque in his name, at the house they shared in Brook Street. This is her story, from gypsy stock to showbiz royalty. It is a story of the 1960s, of her life with Jimi Hendrix and the truth behind his untimely death.

4.0 out of 5 stars Kathy Etchingham and Jimi Hendrix's Blue Plaque., 17 Dec 2001
A touching memoir of one woman's experiences with one of the iconic figures of 1960's popular culture and her quest to have a 'Blue Plaque' erected in recognition of his musical genius.

The story begins with Kathy Etchingham arriving to greet the crowd, who have gathered to pay a long overdue tribute to one of the greatest musical geniuses of the twentieth century.

A Blue Plaque is unveiled at the flat she once shared with Jimi Hendrix. It is an honour usually reserved for the elite of the classical music fraternity. For Mrs Etchingham, it marks the end of a long quest to see her former lover and friend gain the recognition he so rightly deserved.

The book then rolls back the years and the author tells of her first meeting with Hendrix and their subsequent relationship. Finally it tells of the feelings she had at hearing of Hendrix's death in late 1970.

The book doesn't offer us any new insights into the mysteries surrounding Hendrix's death, but it gives us a first hand account of a gentle and at times shy musical hero who found it difficult to say 'no' to the hangers on who eventually suffocated his creative spirit.
