Jimi Hendrix by Sharon Lawrence
Sharon Lawrence is a journalist who knew Hendrix well, became his confidante and saw him a number of times in the weeks before his death. "Jimi Hendrix" tells and shows - in rich detail - who Jimi Hendrix really was and what really happened to him during his short life, and what has happened to his legacy in the more than thirty years of greed and game-playing since his tragically early death. The book contains new and rare material including many unpublished conversations with Hendrix and major insights from more than fifty fresh sources who have previously kept their silence. Fellow rock stars and musicians, childhood neighbours, lawyers and newspaper editors are among those who knew Jimi well and are now willing to speak about who he really was and what events marked his lightning-fast ride to the top, the extraordinary highs and lows which ultimately led to his death. Insightful and revelatory, this is also an affectionate portrayal of the real Jimi by a friend who feels the time is finally right to tell the true story.
Sharon Lawrence left university to become a reporter for United Press International in Los Angeles. Her specialty was film coverage and, gradually, pop music as well. After more than five years with UPI she became a management, marketing and PR consultant for clients such as MCA, Columbia, Apple and Rocket Records as well as for movie studios. Among the artists she worked closely with are Elton John, Cliff Richard, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice and Lynyrd Skynyrd. She is the author of So You Want to Be a Rock Star and now writes screenplays.
