Who dated Linda Keith?

Linda Keith (born 1946) is a former British fashion model, best known for her work for Vogue magazine during the 1960s as well as her involvement in the rock music scene during the Swinging Sixties.

James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942 – September 18, 1970) was an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential guitarists of all time. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 as a part of his band, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, the institution describes him as "arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music".

Hendrix began playing guitar at age 15. In 1961, he enlisted in the US Army, but was discharged the following year. Soon afterward, he moved to Clarksville, then Nashville, Tennessee, and began playing gigs on the Chitlin' Circuit, earning a place in the Isley Brothers' backing band and later with Little Richard, with whom he continued to work through mid-1965. He then played with Curtis Knight and the Squires.

Hendrix moved to England in late 1966, after bassist Chas Chandler of the Animals became his manager. Within months, he had formed his band, the Jimi Hendrix Experience (with its rhythm section consisting of bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell), and achieved three UK top ten hits: "Hey Joe", "Purple Haze", and "The Wind Cries Mary". He achieved fame in the US after his performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. His third and final studio album, Electric Ladyland (1968), became his most commercially successful release and his only number one album on the US Billboard 200 chart. The world's highest-paid rock musician, Hendrix headlined the Woodstock Festival in 1969 and the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970. He died in London from barbiturate-related asphyxia in September 1970, at the age of 27.

Hendrix was inspired by American rock and roll and electric blues. He favored overdriven amplifiers with high volume and gain, and was instrumental in popularizing the previously undesirable sounds caused by guitar amplifier feedback. He was also one of the first guitarists to make extensive use of tone-altering effects units in mainstream rock, such as fuzz distortion, Octavia, wah-wah, and Uni-Vibe. He was the first musician to use stereophonic phasing effects in recordings. Rolling Stone commented: "Hendrix pioneered the use of the instrument as an electronic sound source. Players before him had experimented with feedback and distortion, but Hendrix turned those effects and others into a controlled, fluid vocabulary every bit as personal as the blues with which he began."

Keith Richards (born 18 December 1943) is an English musician, songwriter, singer and record producer who is an original member, guitarist, secondary vocalist, and co-principal songwriter of the Rolling Stones. His songwriting partnership with the band's lead vocalist Mick Jagger is one of the most successful in history. His career spans over six decades, and his guitar playing style has been a trademark of the Rolling Stones throughout the band's career. Richards gained press notoriety for his romantic involvements and illicit drug use, and he was often portrayed as a countercultural figure. First professionally known as Keith Richard, in 1978 he fully asserted his family name.

Richards was born in and grew up in Dartford, Kent. He studied at the Dartford Technical School and Sidcup Art College. After graduating, Richards befriended Jagger, Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts, Ian Stewart and Brian Jones and joined the Rolling Stones. As a member of the group, Richards also sings lead on some of their songs, typically at least one song per concert, including "Happy", "Before They Make Me Run", and "Connection". Outside of his career with the Rolling Stones, Richards has also played with his own side-project, The X-Pensive Winos. He also appeared in two Pirates of the Caribbean films as Captain Teague, father of Jack Sparrow, whose look and characterisation were inspired by Richards himself.

In 1989, Richards was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and in 2004 into the UK Music Hall of Fame with the Rolling Stones. Rolling Stone magazine ranked him fourth on its list of 100 best guitarists in 2011. In 2023, Rolling Stone's ranking was 15th. The magazine listed fourteen songs that Richards wrote with Jagger on its "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" list.

Lewis Brian Hopkins Jones, dit Brian Jones, né le 28 février 1942 à Cheltenham (Gloucestershire) et mort le 3 juillet 1969 à Hartfield (Sussex de l'Est), est un musicien multi-instrumentiste britannique.

Icône des années 1960, il est le fondateur et le multi-instrumentiste des Rolling Stones, groupe pour lequel il a joué de 1962 à 1969. Originellement guitariste et harmoniciste, Brian Jones maîtrise de nombreux instruments. À partir de l'album Aftermath (1966), il intègre à de nombreux titres des instruments alors peu communs dans le rock and roll comme la flûte, le dulcimer, le sitar ou encore le mellotron. Le point culminant de cette instrumentation élargie est atteint dans l'album Their Satanic Majesties Request (1967). Il influence ainsi considérablement la musique des Stones dans leur période 1962-1969.

Leader du groupe à ses débuts sans jamais être véritablement considéré comme un compositeur à part entière, il est ensuite relégué au second plan par l'influence grandissante du duo Mick Jagger et Keith Richards. À partir de 1966, il connaît de sérieux problèmes de drogue ainsi que des difficultés dans sa vie sentimentale, devenant de moins en moins impliqué et n'apportant plus son talent qu'aux arrangements. Finalement, en raison de son caractère déjà difficile, son absence des studios et des problèmes judiciaires qui l'empêchent de participer aux futures tournées, il est contraint de quitter les Rolling Stones en juin 1969. À peine un mois après, il est retrouvé mort dans la piscine de sa résidence au sud de Londres. Sa disparition marque un changement dans la musique du groupe.

Il est un des symboles de la révolution des mœurs des années 1960 en Europe. Le bassiste originel des Stones, Bill Wyman, a dit de lui :

« … Il a créé le groupe. Il a choisi les membres. Il a nommé le groupe. Il a choisi la musique qu'on jouait. Il nous a trouvé des concerts… Très influent, très important, et puis il a perdu son pouvoir peu à peu — extrêmement intelligent — et il l'a gâché et tout s'est envolé. »
