Game of Thrones final season [spoilers]

Jimi was not the first black musician who had white youth for fans.

In your early glory days of Elvis there were many black singing groups who had white kids dancing their legs off.  The Platters, The Temptations, The Four Tops, to name a few. My mom is 17 years older than I am.  I clearly remember her watching American Bandstand when I was a kid and dancing around to the music.  She loved the groups that were part of the Detroit/Motown sound, which is where I got my love for that music.  She loved Johnny Mathis...dad and I didn't like him much.  Mom and dad had the soundtrack to Goldfinger with Shirley Bassey belting out the title tune.  These are memories from pre 1966 when we moved from the town where dad went to college.  

You are reaching...and from what I can find, Elvis respected Hendrix because of his military service more than anything else.

The people who were into Shag dancing and the Motown sound weren't into the Woodstock sound which was not highly stylized and choreographed but was more freeform and jam in nature.

1. Yes I know but none of the were the kind of counter culture the Hendrix was 

2. He also respected him as a guitarist 

3. Once again they were concerned with the color of Hendrix fans (white)

Who is 'they'?

Black groups were hugely popular with white youth.  

Why was Hendrix a supposed threat?

The counterculture embraced Jimi.  Have you ever watched Woodstock?
