Hendrix was in the Isley Brother's backup band in 1965 and recorded with them.

A 1965 Isley Brother's tune remixed and rereleased in the 70s to make it sound more psychadelic -- Jimi's guitar brought very much forward in the mix



Same tune with JImi in the background -- more of a Soul R&B mix.

"It's Your Thing" was a big hit on AM Top 40 radio when I was a kid.

And here is a live performance from 1972 or 1973 of "Pop That Thang"
