Actually, I'm someone that has never been able to really get into Hendrix's music, either his singing nor his guitar playing. For me his music has always seemed cold and devoid of passsion and feeling. However, I have to agree that Hendrix had a major impact on everyone who picked up the guitar after him. He probably broke more new ground with guitar playing then any other single person. I've also heard that he was very humble about his playing, not like ,say, Eddie Van Halen who is always eager to pat himself on the back.
