Hendrix was only 27 years old when he passed, but he had already left his mark on the musical world, thanks to such songs as "Purple Haze," "Hey Joe" and "The Wind Cries Mary," and his classic album Are You Experienced? He was also well known for his live performances, including iconic sets at the Woodstock Festival in 1969 and the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967.
And Hendrix fans will soon learn more about him. It was recently announced that the first full length documentary on the rocker is in the works, helmed by The Greatest Night in Pop director Bao Nguyen.
