Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Hendrix personally sketched the curved walls and psychedelic decor, even picking the purple velvet swatches. He wanted musicians to 'feel like they're inside a womb.'
Electric Lady still operates today—Bowie recorded 'Young Americans' there, and it's where Beyoncé made 'Lemonade.' Jimi's landlord deal literally shaped 50 years of music history.
