Redding was a guitar player who got the gig for his good hair and snappy clothes, not his bass playing chops. Billy Cox was an actual bass player, provided a bottom end for Hendrix.
It's kinda laughable that someone asserts that Hendrix wasn't popular in his day. Saw him twice both sold out shows and he was of course the headliner.
Anyway, enough for me. Logging back out, which (I've found) is much better for my sensibilities.
