Does the late Jimi Hendrix had children?

Question

I read more than 20 years ago that he had a son in Sweden. Is that correct?

Answer 1

Jimi Hendrix is reportedly the father of two children: Tamika Laurice Carpenter James of Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA and James Daniel Sundqvist of Stockholm, Sweden. Hendrix never met or publicly acknowledged paternity of either child.

Tamika was born in 1966 after a brief relationship between Jimi and her mother Diana Carpenter took place in New York City. An unreleased Hendrix song named "Red Velvet Room" mentions a child named "Tami". In June of 1970, a paternity suit began in Minneapolis, which turned into a probate claim after Jimi’s death months later. The suit challenged Al Hendrix’s claim to the estate and sought to install Tamika as the sole heir to Jimi’s estate. The New York surrogate court in charge of Jimi’s estate proceedings denied this claim. Years later, Tamika would reconcile and reunite with Al Hendrix, who seemed to accept that the young woman was indeed his granddaughter.

James Sundqvist was born on October 5, 1969. His mother, Eva Sundqvist, met Jimi in May 1967 at the Stureplan train station in Stockholm when he asked her for directions to the Konserthuset. She later noticed his face on a record store album cover and began courting him during his subsequent Stockholm concerts (January 1968 and January 1969), leaving him love notes and flowers backstage. Jimi would oblige these advances by taking her along with him on his post-concert social engagements, the latter of which ended in an overnight stay at the Hotel Carlton. When James was born, Eva at first did not reveal Jimi as the father of her child. She filed a paternity suit against Jimi after child welfare services demanded the action as a requirement of her maintenance payments. This also evolved into a probate claim against Jimi’s estate, although the judgments made in favor of the Sundqvist family were only achieved in Swedish courts. In December 1978 the case was settled and the Sundqvist family received four million Swedish kronor (almost $1 million) from Jimi’s estate.

Answer 3

The big mistake is attributing "greatest guitarist" status to Hendrix while ignoring the implications such a designation has for "greatest musician." Consider the Rolling Stone grudging Hendrix the Best Guitarist recognition but then placing his albums starting somewhere around 57 or 58. The inference seems to be that the guitar performance and the guitar music can be separated, the former "great," the latter not so great. It's like giving the Best Picture award to one film, and then awarding Best Director to a different film. Jimi Hendrix was/is the greatest guitarist because he played the greatest music on that guitar. It has nothing to do with "effects" or even technique, but with imaginative power and artistic integrity. Most people, even his fans, still don't get it. Some individuals have the finger of God on them. Jimi had all five.

Hendrix synthesized many styles in creating his musical voice and his guitar style was unique, later to be abundantly imitated by others. Despite his hectic touring schedule and notorious perfectionism, he was a prolific recording artist and left behind more than 300 unreleased recordings. Musically, Hendrix did much to further the development of the electric guitar's repertoire, establishing it as a unique sonic source, rather than merely an amplified version of the acoustic guitar. Likewise, his feedback, wah-wah and fuzz-laden soloing moved guitar distortion well beyond mere novelty, incorporating other effects pedals and units specifically designed for him by his sound technician Roger Mayer (such as the Octavia and Univibe) with dramatic results. Hendrix affected popular music with similar profundity; along with earlier bands such as The Who and Cream, he established a sonically heavy yet technically proficient bent to rock music as a whole, significantly furthering the development of hard rock and paving the way for heavy metal. He took blues to another level. His music has also had a great influence on funk and the development of funk rock especially through the guitarists Ernie Isley of The Isley Brothers and Eddie Hazel of Funkadelic, Prince and Jesse Johnson of The Time. His influence even extends to many hip hop artists, including ?uestlove, Chuck D of Public Enemy, Ice-T (who covered "Hey Joe" with his heavy metal band Body Count), El-P and Wyclef Jean. Miles Davis was also deeply impressed by Hendrix and compared his improvisational skills with those of saxophonist John Coltrane,[107] and Davis would later want guitarists in his bands to emulate Hendrix.[108] Hendrix was ranked number 3 on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock behind Black Sabbath at the second spot, and Led Zeppelin, ranked number one. Hendrix was ranked number 3 on VH1's list of 100 Best Pop Artists of all time, behind the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. He has been voted by Rolling Stone, Guitar World, and a number of other magazines and polls as the best electric guitarist of all time. Guitar World's readers voted six of Hendrix's solos among the top "100 Greatest" of all time: "Purple Haze" (70), "The Star-Spangled Banner" (52), "Machine Gun" (32), "Little Wing" (18), "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" (11) and "All Along the Watchtower (5).[109] In 1992, Hendrix was awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Yes... it's a copy and paste but, I couldn't really say it any better.
