Randy California
Randy California (born Randy Craig Wolfe; February 201951 –  January 21997) was a guitaristsinger and songwriter and one of the original members of the rock group Spirit, formed in 1967. Randy was born into a musical family in Los Angeles, and spent his early years studying varied styles at the family's Hollywood nightclub, the Ash Grove. He was fifteen years old when they moved to New York and he met Jimi Hendrix in 1966. He played in Hendrix's band Jimmy James & the Blue Flames that summer. The stage name "Randy California" was given to him by Hendrix to distinguish him from another Randy in the band (who Hendrix dubbed "Randy Texas"). When Hendrix was invited to come to England by Chas Chandler, Randy was not allowed to go (by his parents) and so missed out on what became the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Randy California
Biografia Inizia a suonare la chitarra giovanissimo dimostrando subito un notevole talento. All'età di 15 anni, entrando in un negozio di dischi di New York, conosce Jimi Hendrix. Tra i due chitarristi nasce una buona amicizia tanto che Hendrix lo invita a suonare nella sua band Jimmy James & the Blue Flames che a quel tempo si esibiva al Cafe Wha?. Questa collaborazione influenzerà notevolmente lo stile di Randy Wolfe. Il nomignolo "California" pare sia stato attribuito da Hendrix stesso per non confonderlo con un altro Randy presente nel suo gruppo. La collaborazione si interrompe quando Hendrix parte per l'Inghilterra dove formerà gli Experience. Randy essendo troppo giovane non potrà seguirlo.
