Jimi Hendrix
Born
Jimi Hendrix on his knees, guitar raised, on the sidewalk at Broadway and Pine on Seattle's Capitol Hill. Seattle artist Daryl Smith made the life-size bronze, dedicated in 1997 and commissioned by developer and music programmer Mike Malone. Hendrix was born in Seattle in 1942, and this busy street corner, among shops and buses rather than in a park, is where the city put its best-known tribute to him.
