Oh this a lot better than what my brain interpreted it as, which was "The _Everly_ Brothers, featuring Jimi Hendrix."

Jimi cut his teeth on the Chitlin Circuit. Here he is with Little Richard (who later fired him, reportedly for tardiness).

That is stupendous and eye-opening. And props to the uncredited tambourine player.

dfm500, did you mean to link to the same YT video twice? If not, give us the second link and then flag your own comment for the mods to correct the OP. Thanks! And groove on!

As it says in the description, the FPP video is a remix of the original 1965 recording released in 1975, which drastically alters the instrumentation to more clearly hear Jimmy‘s fantastic Guitar work. The original sounds drastically different and much more like a 1965 R&B song, but you can hear the band starting to push the limits of how funky a radio-friendly track could be.
