Biography

American modern electric blues guitar virtuoso; lyricist, vocalist. Born: 27 November 1942, Seattle, USA – Died: 18 September 1970, London, UK. A self-taught guitarist, Hendrix began his musical career backing such R&B greats as Ike and Tina Turner, Sam Cooke, Wilson Pickett, Little Richard, The Isley Brothers, and B.B. King. Brought to London from New York by former Animals bassist [a=Chas Chandler], Hendrix quickly established himself as the brightest new star on the burgeoning progressive rock scene of the early '60s. Along with bassist [a=Noel Redding] and drummer [a=Mitch Mitchell] he formed [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/255672-Jimi-Hendrix-Experience-The]The Jimi Hendrix Experience[/url]. After a landmark appearance at the Monterey Pop festival, their debut album [url=http://www.discogs.com/Jimi-Hendrix-Experience-Are-You-Experienced/master/24497]Are You Experienced[/url] was released in September 1967. The album, and its 1968 successors - [url=http://www.discogs.com/Jimi-Hendrix-Experience-Axis-Bold-As-Love/master/24511]Axis: Bold As Love[/url] and the seminal blues-oriented developments of [url=http://www.discogs.com/Jimi-Hendrix-Experience-Electric-Ladyland/master/24535]Electric Ladyland[/url] - earned Hendrix international acclaim as a premier rock instrumentalist and innovator of his generation. A 'greatest hits' collection, "Smash Hits" (1969), and an in-concert memento of his historic Monterey appearance, "Otis Redding / Jimi Hendrix Experience at Monterey" (1970), followed before his untimely death. A posthumous studio album, "The Cry Of Love", was released in January of 1971, followed by the double album soundtrack to the documentary film "Jimi Hendrix" in June of 1973.

Well, you've got me floatin' around and 'round
Always up, you never let me down
The amazing thing: you turned me on nat'rally
Oh and I kiss you when I please.
( You've got me floatin' 'round and 'round )
We're floatin' 'round and 'round
( You've got me floatin', never down )
Hey ! Touch the ceiling babe
( You've got me floatin', nat'rally )
Got me floatin', nat'rally
( You've got me floatin', float to please )
Yeah ! Now ya...

Y'get me floatin' uh across and through uh
You make me float right on out to you
There's only one thing I need to get a me there
Is to hear you laugh without a care.
What I say now ah

(You've got me floatin' 'round and 'round)
Hey ! 'round and 'round
(You've got me floatin', never down)

Hey! Gimme one more time brother, say it
(You've got me floatin', never down)
Got me floatin', yeah

See the sky ? Look up
(You've got me floatin', float to please)

Now your daddy's cool and your mama's no fool
They both know I'm head over heels for you
And when the day melts down into a sleepy, red glow
That's when my desires start to show.

(Have me floatin')
Hey ! hey !
