"On March 1, 1964, Hendrix (then calling himself Maurice James) began recording and performing with Little Richard. Hendrix, in awe of Little Richard, adopted the rocker's flamboyant taste in clothing and grew a mustache like his. His playing also seems to have been affected by Little Richard, since he had been playing blues when he started with Little Richard, and subsequently played in a more rocking style. Hendrix would later (1966) say, "I want to do with my guitar what Little Richard does with his voice."" Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimi_Hendrix
