The best song that wasn't even his!


This is a great form of success to me. Jimi Hendrix took a song by The Leaves called "Hey Joe."
Then made it famous by recreating it with his on feeling. That's why being original leads to success in my eyes.

Here's the original version of "Hey Joe" by The Leaves.
I'm posting it as well so you can understand what I mean by the difference.

      Sweet this great news. Thanks for the good feed back. So far I'm really enjoying your class. Even though I never really cared for English cause its not my strongest subject. But you have a great way of making it intriguing, and I think you for that.

    This is one of my all time favorite songs Tyler. I also love "Castles Made Of Sand". I own a couple albums and probably should own more. But for now, Jimi Hendrix Experience/Smash Hits and Band of Gypsies will have to do. Thanks for reminding me to listen to my Jimi.
