Hendrix was a little-known musician when his new manager took him from New York to London in 1966. Etchingham, a DJ at the time, met him in a club. She was 20; he was 23. Within months, Hendrix had hits in Britain with Hey Joe, Purple Haze and The Wind Cries Mary, which he wrote for Etchingham.
They became a couple during the time of his rise to stardom until 1969 when they drifted apart.
Etchingham insists their relationship was ''a completely fun time'', with Hendrix dedicated to his musical career well before the drug problems that contributed to his death at 27.
''He was a gentle person – funny, entertaining, articulate, and knew exactly which direction he was going in,'' she said.
