Chas Chandler
Based on the recommendation of folk singer Richie Havens, Roth hired Jimi Hendrix as a recurring performer in 1966. Billed as "Jimmy James and the Blue Flames", he played five sets a night, six nights a week. Chas Chandler, the bassist for The Animals, discovered Hendrix at Cafe Wha? and brought him to England to promote his career.
