But as we reflect on the extraordinary life of the inspiration for Jimi’s song Foxey Lady, I thought it would be more appropriate to keep the focus on Fayne.īorn in 1940, in a small southern Georgia town called Moultrie, she would soon be whisked away to the epicenter of African American culture, 1950’s Harlem. Once again, most of the article focused on the many famous musical men in her life: Little Willie John, Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, Marvin Gaye, Sly Stone, and of course, Jimi Hendrix. The last major article written on her was in 2015 by a British periodical The Guardian. This must have been a real sticking point for Fayne. As the famous saying goes, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. In her later years, she became what some would describe as reclusive, tucked away from most prying eyes in Las Vegas. The lady of many names, some of which are: Fay, Fayne, Faytoe, Faye, Lithofayne, Pridgon, Pridgeon, Pridgnon (correct spelling of her Last name), and Foxey Lady.
