The Influence of Lithofayne Pridgon, Hendrix’s Muse
About this episode
This episode explores the life and influence of Lithofayne Pridgon, a significant figure in Jimi Hendrix's early career.
Before there was the "Experience," there was Lithofayne. Lithofayne Pridgon wasn’t just a muse; she was the Queen of Harlem who gave a struggling Jimi Hendrix a place to live, a connection to the music scene, and the inspiration for "Foxey Lady." In this bonus episode of Behind The Song, dig into the story of the mysterious woman who stood toe-to-toe with James Brown, managed the chaos of Sly Stone, and was so punk-rock she refused to release her own Atlantic Records album because it wasn’t "perfect" enough.
