"Foxy Lady" by Jimi Hendrix
This is a very sexual song that was probably inspired by Heather Taylor, who eventually married Roger Daltrey, the lead singer from The Who. Kathy Etchingham, Jimi's girlfriend at the time, also claimed to be one of many inspirations for "Foxy Lady.
In the booklet for the Experience Hendrix CD, Hendrix was quoted as saying this was the only happy song he had ever written. He said that he usually just doesn't feel happy when writing songs.
The title of this song has two alternate spellings: "Foxey Lady" (for release in America) and "Foxy Lady" (for release in the UK).
Hendrix recorded this on December 13, 1966. That same day, he made his first TV appearance on the British show Ready Steady Go. His group The Jimi Hendrix Experience had been together only 2 months at that point, but things moved very quickly. Three days later, their first single, "Hey Joe" was released.
