Corey Washington will take you on a journey from Jimi Hendrix's humble beginnings, to his meteoric rise to become the highest paid rock star of the late 60s. Jimi's short 27-28 years of life saw many twists and turns, which ultimately would lead to a life full of mystery and WHAT IFs. The objective of this lecture is to give a more well-rounded look at a Black musical genius; how he has influenced a wide array of genres including jazz, soul, R&B, Funk and even hip-hop; and popular artists like Prince, Drake, Future, Wiz Khalifa, D'Angelo, and Lenny Kravitz.
