Song Note : "This was the last song Hendrix performed live. On September 6, 1970, which was 12 days before his death, he played it at a concert in Germany"

"This was one of several standout wah-wah popularized songs, alongside Cream's "White Room" and Isaac Hayes' "Theme from 'Shaft'." Hendrix was considered a master of the wah-wah pedal"

"In 1970, this was released as a single in the UK a week after Hendrix died. It became his only #1 hit"

"Hendrix dedicated the album to his groupies, who he called "Electric Ladies'. "
