Jimi Hendrix

Last night my Uncle told me that Jimi Hendrix saw Stevie at the side of the stage once, and dedicated Foxy Lady to her. I've been wondering if this was true, as I have never heard of it.

As far as I know it is true. Stevie has mentioned it a couple of times (forgot in what interview though), but never heard the song it was for.

Interesting stuff, I googled it and found this posted on another board:


One memorable highlight of the Santa Clara appearance [by the Jimi Hendrix Experience] took place before "Foxey Lady" began. Hendrix had often introduced the song with a sly quip, usually dedicating the number to "somebody's girlfriend . . . we'll find out after the show" or, while pointing to an unknown female fan, to "that girl over there in the yellow underwear."

On this day, a gust of wind had lifted the skirt of a pretty folk singer who had completed her set earlier and was now watching Hendrix from the wings of the stage. The opportunity was too good to let pass and Hendrix wryly dedicated "Foxey Lady" to "the girl back there with the yellow underwear." "Yeah, you" confirmed Hendrix, pointing out a young Stevie Nicks red with embarrassment.

Stevie was pretty prudish once, it seems.

Heck, I knew that story rang a bell.
