Full article:

Albert Goldman (journalist) : On the seventeenth floor, where Mr Hendrix had his suite, the mood was Oriental pleasure dome. When I arrived, mini-skirted cup-bearers were charging chalices with sparkling wine. Hendrix was flitting about like an emperor moth. Dressed in blue velvet bell-bottoms, an open island shirt and no shoes, his famous fright-wig at half-mast, he looked about half as big and as old as he did in his pictures. Far from being a cross between Genghis Khan and Anthony Quinn, Hendrix's offstage appearance is almost girlish.
