James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942 – September 18, 1970) was an American musician and singer-songwriter. He is widely considered to be the greatest electric guitarist in music history, and one of the most influential musicians of his era despite mainstream exposure limited to just three years. After initial success in Europe with his group The Jimi Hendrix Experience, he achieved fame in the United States following his 1967 performance at the Monterey Pop Festival. Later, he headlined the iconic 1969 Woodstock Festival and the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival. He often favored raw overdriven amplifiers with high gain and treble and helped develop the previously undesirable technique of guitar amplifier feedback.
Hendrix helped to popularize use of the wah-wah pedal in mainstream rock, which he often used to deliver tonal exaggerations in his solos, particularly with high bends, complex guitar playing, and use of legato. As a record producer, he also broke new ground in using the recording studio as an extension of his musical ideas. He was one of the first to experiment with stereophonic phasing effects for rock recording.[citation needed] He was influenced by blues artists such as B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Albert King and Elmore James,rhythm and blues and soul guitarists Curtis Mayfield and Steve Cropper, and the jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery. Hendrix began dressing and wearing a moustache like Little Richard when he performed and recorded in his band from March 1, 1964 through to the spring of 1965. In 1966, he stated, "I want to do with my guitar what Little Richard does with his voice".
Eva Marie Cassidy (February 2, 1963 – November 2, 1996) was an American vocalist known for her interpretations of jazz, blues, folk, gospel, country and pop classics. In 1992 she released her first album, The Other Side, a set of duets with go-go musician Chuck Brown, followed by a live solo album, Live at Blues Alley in 1996. Although she had been honored by the Washington Area Music Association, she was virtually unknown outside her native Washington, D.C., when she died of melanoma (skin cancer) in 1996.
Four years later, Cassidy's music was brought to the attention of British audiences when her version of "Over the Rainbow" was played by Terry Wogan on BBC Radio 2. Following the overwhelming response, a camcorder recording of "Over the Rainbow", taken at Blues Alley in Washington, was shown on BBC Two's Top of the Pops 2. Shortly afterwards, the compilation album Songbird climbed to the top of the UK Albums Charts, almost three years after its initial release. The chart success in the United Kingdom and Ireland led to increased recognition worldwide; her posthumously released recordings, including three UK number 1s, have sold more than ten million copies. Her music has also charted top 10 positions in Australia, Germany, Sweden, Norway and Switzerland.

Drivin' on down, take the road to the south side
Radio for backup, code 2, say it's caution time
I found the body, deep square in a world of crime
Streets are wet with rain, wash away and blur my thin blue line
Chorus:
Think I'll make a police call
No one knows, no one cares at all
Think I'll make a police call
Breakin' up a sex club, pelican and jacko
Tappin' telephones butt-naked with your hollywood ho
Crawl back in my chevy, call dispatch and hit the party light
Bust 'em up with billy clubs, go home and light my crack pipe
Chorus repeat x2
Breakin' down a door somehwere way out in diamond bar
Hangin' at the roadblock, shootin' at a passin' car
Goin' undercover, bustin' heads at the sugar shack.
Gimme gimme drugs. gimme crack, gimme prozac...
Ooh-ooh...
Say you will, say you will
Say you will
We've been together a long, long time
Now I've got something to say, oh, baby, baby
I need to hear you tell me that you're mine
And it's driving me crazy
Every day I see you laughing
Your smile just drives me wild
Baby, you'd do something to me, girl
And I really need to hear you
Say that you love me, so please
Please say you will
I'd do anything to keep you by my side
Don't you know that
I'd walk a thousand miles for you
'Cause I really need you
Everything will be alright
If you stay with me tonight
Baby, you'd do something to me, girl
And I really need to hear you
Say that you love me, so please
Please say you will be
Right here beside me, so please
Please say you will
(Piano Solo)
Every day I see you laughing
You know that I really need to hear you
Say that you love me, so please
Please say you will be
Right here beside me, so please
Please say you will be
Right here beside me, so please
Please say you will be
Right here beside me, so please
Please say you will
I really need to hear you
Say that you love me, so please
Say you will, say you will
Say you will, say you will
Say you will, say you will
First time you're asking me
If I will do some thing
Maybe I will
Maybe I won't
Then you're asking me
Will it be
I don't have a clue
Coz I haven't agreed
Now you're telling me
I've got to do this
Who the Hell are you anyway
I'm so sick of people tellin' me what to do
Especially from the likes of you
Why can't you all just let me be
Coz I'm so sick of your bigotry
I don't know why my mind is reeling
And I can't stop screaming
Why can't you all just let me be
Coz I'm sick of your bigotry
You always imitate, illustrate
Your reasons for not being there
You get ideas from the press
Now everybody knows we've got insomnia
Don't tell me to scrutinize
I'll just say screw it
One last thing I want to destroy it
I'm so sick of people tellin' me what to do
Especially from the likes of you
Why can't you all just let me be
Coz I'm so sick of your bigotry
I don't know why my mind is reeling
And I can't stop screaming
Why can't you all just let me be
