And we hear “Be My Baby”!
We jumped up, and we were, like, dizzy.
[Then] we went for a swim.

“Earth Blues” with Jimi Hendrix, 1970
I metJimi Hendrixbefore he became Jimi Hendrix.
I’ll never forget the girls hanging on his mattress, all beautiful and smoking cigarettes.
Then he took me to Electric Lady [Studios] to sing on his record.
The next morning the bell rings, I go to the door, and it was Jimi.
He had his arm up on the door like, “Can I come in?”
And I’m going, “I’m married!”
And he says, “I left my tapes in your car.”
It was during the Maharishi days, and George had the longest hair.
He says, “I know, Ronnie.
I wrote it, and I don’t like it!”
[The track was produced by Phil Spector.]
And after that came out, it became a fan favorite.
