Big 95 Music News: Jimi Hendrix, Elton John

JIMI HENDRIX:  Note to a Foxy Lady sells for $7,500

The "Foxy Lady" that Jimi Hendrix jumped off a stage to meet has just sold the note he sent to her for $7500.

Anthea Connell was 19 when the guitar god walked over to her at a Lincolnshire, England concert hall -- and then wrote a message on the back of a guitar strings package. Hendrix's note reads: "To Anthea, Love and kisses to you forever. I wish I could really talk to you. Stay sweet, Jimi Hendrix."

After holding onto the memento for a half-century, she tells Britain's Daily Mail she sold it to pay for a trip to New Zealand for her husband and herself. Adding that it "exceeded any expectations," Connell hopes "Jimi would approve. It's certainly a bit more rock 'n' roll than buying a new boiler or [insulating your windows]."


ELTON JOHN:  Receives a Harvard honor

Elton John will be honored next month by Harvard University for his HIV/AIDS activism.

The Rocket Man will receive the Harvard Foundation's Peter J. Gomes Humanitarian Award on November 6th when he delivers a lecture at the Ivy League school.

Named for the late Harvard professor, the Gomes Award has gone to fellow recording artists Lionel Richie andRihanna, actors James Earl Jones and Ruby Dee, and tennis star Arthur Ashe.

BRIAN WILSON, LITTLE ANTHONY:  Doo-wop documentary on the way

Brian Wilson is among the stars in an upcoming documentary about the pre-Beatles doo-wop groups.

Streetlight Harmonies, which will premiere November 14th at the Doc NYC Festival, has interviews with Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Wilson, Little Anthony Gourdine and Charlie Thomas of The Drifters. There's also plenty of archival footage as director Brent Wilson traces the genre from its 1950s heyday to influences on modern-day boy bands. (Rolling Stone)
