New York City, Drake Hotel, NY
Jimi was photographed in bed by Roz Kelly for ‘New York’ magazine. She later went on to star as ‘Pinky’ in the TV series ‘Happy Days’.

Roz Kelly: “They sent me to stake out the Drake Hotel, where Jimi Hendrix was thought to be staying. Rather than lurk around and wait for him to appear, I walked right in and knocked on his door. Hendrix groggily opened the door to let me in, then flopped back into bed. I shook him awake, and started taking pictures. The shooting didn’t take long, because he had a couple of other ideas - but I wanted to get home and see how my pictures turned out."
