Does spirituality, empathy, & a gift to communicate pose a threat to those in control? ( -0638 ) Did They [by way of Michael Jeffery's mob connections] Really Kill Jimi Hendrix? There are growing accounts suggesting this is truth. But why? Was it because even Bobby Kennedy had wanted to speak w him shortly before HIS untimely demise? - The man could COMMUNICATE SPIRITUALLY - Was this partly a political assassination? We Can Ask RFK Jr About It. Witness James Mitchell tells all. (He also goes by Jim Mitchell.)Show more

Previously Alan Douglas has recounted a "confession" from a distant Mike Jeffery very shortly after Hendrix's death.

Additionally roadie James Wright speaks
of another confession.

"Since Hendrix’s death in a London hotel room in September 1970, it has generally been accepted he drowned on his own vomit after a drinking binge.
But James ‘Tappy’ Wright said his friend Michael Jeffrey drunkenly confessed to killing Hendrix by stuffing pills into his mouth and washing them down with several bottles of red wine because he feared the star intended to sack him.

Once again, there are now 3 witnesses to a confession / refusal to explain incon-sistencies followed by chilling words such as, "What are you going to do about it".

This story of Jeffery manipulating Hendrix reminds me a bit of Brittney Spears, and how she was also controlled and abused,
although in very different ways.

Also look into Alan Douglas Rubenstein, who Hendrix turned to immediately before being murdered. Douglas is said to have heard a confession from Jeffery:

"
Douglas's production work on a few of Hendrix's posthumous releases is controversial. This is primarily due to tracks on the Crash Landing and Midnight Lightning LP releases in 1975. On these releases Douglas replaced the original drum and bass tracks and added guitar overdubs newly recorded by session musicians. He added female backing singers to one track, and claimed co-composer credit on several tracks that he had altered. On the much later Voodoo Soup compilation album Douglas is known to have wiped original drum tracks on two songs and replaced them with The Knack's Bruce Gary. Second, on the 1993 CD releases of Hendrix's three studio albums, the original album artwork and packaging were scrapped in favour of new renderings of the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

It's been said that the relationship he had with Devon Wilson was the closest Jimi Hendrix ever had. Yet Jimi was notoriously distant and unwilling to commit emotionally. And for her part, Devon was fiercely protective of Jimi while he was making the genre-defining recordings that revolutionized music.

This fact didn't make her popular with the rest of his entourage. Also she was known to be very jealous with him. Their relationship suffered as Jimi got more and more famous. She became more possessive and jealous the more Jimi tried to distance himself from her.

No one knows the true details of what happened between them, except that they began to drift apart. Jimi’s star was on the rise, and it seemed to Devon there may be no room for her in Jimi's future.

A chance meeting between the two of them on a busy London street on the afternoon of September 18th, 1970 hardly seems a fitting end for such a fiery and tempestuous relationship. But sadly, it’s all they got. Jimi Hendrix died that night in the presence of Monika Dannemann.

Devon never recovered from the shock of Jimi’s death. She returned to New York and lapsed into drug addiction. And it all ended the following February when she took her famous tumble from the eighth-floor balcony of the Chelsea Hotel.

Though a live version of this song was never released, it only took a few live performances in the late '60s to cement Hendrix's record in Civil Rights history. The song is told from the perspective of a soldier at war—Hendrix's way of addressing Vietnam—but there also thinly veiled battlefield metaphors about the plight of the Black Panther Party in urban areas like Chicago and New York. Fresh off a break-up with his group The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Hendrix shifted his attention from free love to social conscience and made an indelible impact.

Jimi Hendrix wasn't murdered by his manager, says former business partner
By Joe Bosso published May 26, 2011

"Jimi Hendrix was not murdered," says Bob Levine, who was the US manager of the late guitarist at the time of his death in 1970. "Despite the allegations that have recently been made, I need to set the record straight once and for all. Jimi died an accidental death, but he definitely wasn't murdered - not by Michael Jeffrey, his UK manager, and certainly not by anybody connected to him. The whole thing is one giant lie."

Levine's statements counter a claim made by Hendrix's former roadie, James 'Tappy' Wright' in his 2009 book, Rock Roadie, that Jeffrey drunkenly confessed to him in 1971 that he murdered the guitar icon by stuffing his mouth full of pills and then washing them down with bottles of red wine.

"Tappy wrote that Jeffrey was afraid that Jimi was going to leave him for a new manager," says Levine. "He also said that Jeffrey had taken out an insurance policy on Jimi that was worth a couple of million dollars and that he wanted to collect on it." (Jeffrey would die himself in a place crash in 1973.)

"All of which is ridiculous," says Levine. "I was Jimi's US manager, and Michael Jeffrey was Jimi's UK manager. Michael also oversaw a lot in the US, but he was involved in other business enterprises. Michael wasn't always Jimi's manager - Chas Chandler, who was in The Animals, was managing and producing Jimi at first. The three of us, in fact - myself, Chas and Michael Jeffrey — all saw Jimi together in 1966 at the Café Wha in New York City. You could tell he was going to be a huge star even then.

"After a few years, Chas and Michael had a split," says Levine. "They broke up Chandler-Jeffrey, and it was decided that Mike was going to run the UK office and I'd look after things in the US. Tappy Wright worked in the office for Mike Jeffrey. He did a variety of things, among them acting as a roadie for Jimi. He did some roadie work for Ike & Tina Turner, too."

Regarding Wright's claim that Jeffrey murdered his star client, Levine says it was all cooked up to sell books. "I used to talk to Tappy every day," says Levine. "I've known him since the early '60s. He told me he was putting together a book about his years in the rock world. That's fine - everybody has a right to do a book if they can. But he told me, 'Bob, I need a hook for the book. I need a handle.' He needed something that would be a grabber. Well, saying that Jimi was murdered is a grabber; saying that Jimi was murdered by his manager is an even bigger grabber. But it's certainly not the truth."

According to Levine, the night before he died, Hendrix was out on the town in London. "He did a bit of clubbing, and then he went back to his hotel to get a few hours of sleep because he had to catch a plane to Germany the next morning.

"He was with a girl who did give him some sleeping pills - Jimi always had a hard time sleeping, so he'd take pills to make him sleep. He had some wine, too, and went to sleep. But when it came time for the wine to come up - he had to vomit - he was literally knocked out by the pills, so he choked on his vomit."

Hendrix's body was found in a room at the Samarkand Hotel, west of London, on 18 September 1970. Although the room was listed to Monika Dannemann (who died in 1996), Hendrix was alone at the time. There is no record of who called the ambulance crew that discovered the body. "People weren't very good at keeping such records at the time," says Levine. "The actual death certificate from Scotland Yard read: 'Accidental Suffocation.' That was signed by the medical examiner."

All of which makes Wright's assertions, in Levine's words, "pure baloney. He says that he called the retired medical examiner in Australia, who told him that Jimi didn't die accidentally, that it was a result of 'foul play.' Now, come on, that's right out of a Stephen King novel or something. An 80-year-old medical examiner suddenly changes his mind after 40 years and tells some guy who's writing a rock star tell-all something like that? Totally ridiculous."

"I told Tappy, 'What are you doing making up this story? So you want to sell books - why do you have to print such lies?' And he said to me, 'Well, who's going to challenge me? Everybody's dead, everybody's gone. Chas Chandler, Michael Jeffrey, Mitch Mitchell, Noel Redding…they're all gone. Nobody can challenge what I write.'"

In Levine's view, "Jimi Hendrix died by accident. He was a happy guy, looking forward to making music. And Michael Jeffrey didn't have it out for Jimi in any way. I talked to him the day before Jimi died. He had major plans for Jimi. The future was very bright at the time. The whole thing about Michael taking out a life insurance policy and wanting to collect? That's in Tappy's imagination, too.

"Michael signed an insurance policy on Jimi that the record company took out, and Jimi was aware of this. But that's standard. Frank Sinatra was insured by Reprise for millions of dollars. That's how business is done. Record companies take out insurance policies on major artists all the time. But it was nothing ruthless or dastardly on Michael Jeffrey's part. This is Tappy rewriting history."

Now retired in living in Florida, Levine says that he's saddened that Wright's story might have found a way into Hendrix folklore. "It's totally unfair to Jimi," he says. "It's unfair to everybody who was around at the time. I just think it's really unfair to the fans, to anybody who ever loved Jimi Hendrix. Yes, he died a tragic death, and he died much too young. But spreading these lies that he was murdered? It's utter crap, and I've been silent about this for much too long."

- I definitely don't believe Levine - because too many other loose ends were tied together by people who don't know each other or could not have collaborated and fabricated their stories. Levine's claims are not supported by such confirmation.
