1615 - 3rd sonnet from the sun

Been reading 'bout 'Are You Experienced'
Jimi Hendrix, 1967
Chas Chandler, ex-Animals bass, witnessed
His talent in the States, not happenin
There though, maybe from racial restriction
But Chas brought him over in September
'66, to swingin, rockin London
And paid for him to gig and record the
Seminal album he's remembered for
Fire, Foxy Lady, the Experience
Rock, funk and mind-blow. Manic Depression
As uplifting as you will ever hear
The US version also had the best
Early singles, a Purple Haze heaven
