Room full of Mirrors was quite nice (iirc), by looking at the published books it seems that anyone wrote his/her own version: his father, his stepmother, Noel Redding (bassist), his brother Leon (which is the sole whose didn't took a cent from the inerhitance), Kurtis Knight (whose took a legal dispute for copyrights pretending any album from Jimi would had to be his); Mitch Mitchell (the drummer), I'd liked the most one from Sharon Lawrence.

The Jimi Hendrix legend has lived on longer than the man, who died in 1970 at the age of twenty-seven. More than thirty years later, what the world knows about him has become deeply distorted. Now Sharon Lawrence, a trusted friend of Jimi's in the final years of his astonishing life, has written a serious exploration of his life, death, and enduring legacy, based partly on the author's never-before-heard recorded interviews with the late musician.
Jimi Hendrix: The Man, The Magic, The Truth contains new and rare material about Hendrix, with major insights from sources who have previously kept their silence -- from childhood neighbors to rock stars and musicians, to music-industry insiders. This book corrects years of false information, reveals key truths, and supplies facts previously known to only a precious few. It also chronicles the years of mind-boggling legal battles over his estate and legacy.

Sam Cooke was also one of his favorite singers.
