"Ghetto Fighters in Harlem World," is the story of The Aleem Twins, Tunde Ra & TaharQa, who rose from the streets of Harlem to influence virtually every musical genre of their generation, and whose mysterious connection to Jimi Hendrix, one of the 20th century's most important musicians, has launched hundreds of folk tales.If you think that the stories of Sean "P-Diddy" Combs and Shawn "Jay Z" Carter epitomize the iconic narrative of the "ghetto come-up" then you probably haven't heard of Tunde Ra and TaharQa Aleem.The Aleem Twins entered public consciousness as Jimi Hendrix's beloved Ghetto Fighters, and this book reveals the surprising depths of that extraordinary connection. In fact, their links were so strong, there is credible evidence that Hendrix planned to severe all his management ties to forge new musical and managerial links with the Ghetto Fighters. The Aleems are convinced Hendrix's death was no accident and this book offers informative musings on that possibility.The book weaves an absorbing narrative of these fascinating twins who have hovered near the epicenter of popular culture for decades, like a pair of real-life Forrest Gumps. From do-wop with the GTOs, and Us, to psychedelic rock with Jimi Hendrix and the Ghetto Fighters, to electronic dance with the Fantastic Aleems, to hip-hop with Captain Rock and Marley Marl, et. Al. Through a charismatic combination of talent, ambition and coincidence, the Aleem twins have managed to enrich several genres of music with the artistry both of their performance and production. And, along the way, they've crossed paths with the industry's leading innovators. How two young hustlers from the streets of Harlem ascended to such influential positions in the music business is a fascinating tale in itself -- But even that is just half the story! Written as a narrative that oscillates between the Twins' alternating perspectives, the story is a stereo reminiscence of a world shared from the womb by brothers born Albert and Arthur Allen into a Harlem family firmly rooted in African-American tradition.The twins take us with them on this fascinating look at Harlem's nurturing past. They tell a tale that portray a Harlem neighborhood buzzing with solid families, very quirky characters (There's "Fat Jack" Taylor, the Harlem mobster; June "Pantera" Vasquenza, the Mexican stripper; there was Busta "Body Bag" Robinson who got his name the way you probably assume; and "Baby" George, another hit man), and varied street activities (like "roof jumping" and playing with bullet firecrackers), while living on a block with an anomalous Catholic Church with also the famous Woodside Hotel. While doing this, they trace the trajectory of a cast of extraordinary characters. Of course, there was Jimi Hendrix, along with Rick James, Wu Tang Clan, Earl "the Pearl" Monroe, Big Maybelle, Frankie Crocker, Nicky Barns, Marley Marl, and many, many others. The twins' saga also takes us into the clandestine and dangerous world of the Harlem drug trade, where they rose high in the ranks of notorious gangster, Fat Jack Taylor. They played a role in Taylor's development of the famous venue Harlem World that provided such a powerful springboard for hip-hop. The links between Hendrix and these charismatic twins were so strong, that the two were able to convinced him to perform at a street festival on Harlem's 138th Street -- a rare performance that is still largely unheralded. This book is mandatory reading for the earth's countless Hendrix aficionados.

Hailed for its astounding portrait of Jimi Hendrix, Philip Norman’s Wild Thing has become the definitive biography of rock’s most outrageous—and tragic—genius. Today, Jimi Hendrix (1942–1970) is celebrated as the greatest rock guitarist of all time. But before he was setting guitars and the world aflame, James Marshall Hendrix was a shy kid in Seattle, plucking at a broken ukulele. Bringing Hendrix’s story to vivid life against the backdrop of midcentury rock, and interweaving new interviews with friends, lovers, bandmates, and his family, Wild Thing vividly reconstructs Hendrix’s remarkable career, from playing segregated clubs on the Chitlin’ Circuit to achieving stardom in Swinging London.

The Rough Guide to Jimi Hendrix is a thorough reference book about the life and music of the greatest rock guitarist of all time. It covers all the key events throughout his metamorphosis; from a misfit youngster growing up in poverty to his rise to international stardom, and from his days as a starving backup musician in the early 1960s to his triumphant appearances at the Monterey Pop and Woodstock rock festivals, not to mention his mysterious and sordid death in 1970. Special chapters are devoted to vivid description and critical evaluation of all his important studio and live albums and best thirty songs, as well as all major live and documentary Hendrix videos; his myriad musical influences from blues, soul, rock, and jazz; Hendrix-related sites and shrines; and his spectacular arsenal of guitar techniques and effects. Also including special features on overlooked aspects of his art ranging from his love of Bob Dylan's music to his relationship with the Black Power movement, The Rough Guide to Jimi Hendrix documents all dimensions of this one-of-a-kind musical genius.

This book, on Jimi Hendrix’s life, times, visual-cultural prominence, and popular music, with a particular emphasis on Hendrix’s relationships to the cultural politics of race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, class, and nation. Hendrix, an itinerant “Gypsy” and “Voodoo child” whose racialized “freak” visual image continues to internationally circulate, exploited the exoticism of his race, gender, and sexuality and Gypsy and Voodoo transnational political cultures and religion. Aaron E. Lefkovitz argues that Hendrix can be located in a legacy of black-transnational popular musicians, from Chuck Berry to the hip hop duo Outkast, confirming while subverting established white supremacist and hetero-normative codes and conventions. Focusing on Hendrix’s transnational biography and centrality to US and international visual cultural and popular music histories, this book links Hendrix to traditions of blackface minstrelsy, international freak show spectacles, black popular music’s global circulation, and visual-cultural racial, gender, and sexual stereotypes, while noting Hendrix’s place in 1960s countercultural, US-exceptionalist, cultural Cold War, and rock histories.
