The U.S. Postal Service released the Jimi Hendrix Forever stamp today (March 13, 2014). Hendrix was born on November 27, 1942 in Seattle. Johnny Allen Hendrix would later have his name changed to James Marshall Hendrix. An entirely self-taught guitarist, he became one of the most important musicians of the 20th century.
Hendrix combined influences from rock, modern jazz, soul, and the blues with his own innovations, to create a unique style that influenced musical artists of his era and continues to inspire musicians into the 21st century.
