I really like this old black and white video of Jimi singing “The Wind Cries Mary”….the tempo is a bit slower than other versions and his voice is reminiscent of the whooshing and crooning of a wind that blows without regard for man nor beast. “Will the wind ever rememberThe names it has blown in the past?And with this crutch, its old age, and its wisdomIt whispers no, this will be the lastAnd the wind cries mary”
