Best Answer

Jimi Hendrix's first major recording was with the Isley Brothers (known for the original "Twist and Shout" later covered by the Beatles) but was eventually fired out for his stage antics, and tendency to draw the crowd to him, instead of the Isley Brothers. Afterwards, he joined Little Richard's band, and was fired for the same reason. After moving to England and making the Jimi Hendrix Experience, he gained major popularity in the United States after his Hit single "Hey Joe", followed by his appearance at the Monterey Pop Festival during the Summer of Love.
