‘Scuse Me While I Kiss the Sky!
In tribute to the finest guitarist and one of the greatest musicians the world has ever seen – who died 40 years ago this week.
This remarkable photograph was taken inside the house at 25, Brook Street, Mayfair where the composer Handel lived until his death in 1759. He was a German whose career took off when he came to London. He was well known for flamboyant displays of virtuoso baroque music.
200 years later in 1968, Jimi Hendrix moved into the same building. He was an American whose career took off when he came to London. He was well known for flamboyant displays of virtuoso blues and rock music.
Their spirit lives on forever.
