Jimi Hendrix - Amazing musician, not that much of a singer...Discuss

Do you like Hendrix primarily for his singing? What about his songwriting? Listening to other musicians cover a Hendrix original is often a highlight.

I know a number of great guitarists that, at best adequate vocals. Being good at both is not a requirement. Hendrix was a blues musician at his roots, for that genre he was better than average singer.
