In this exclusive clip, two of Hendrix's ex girlfriends -- Colette Harron and Linda Keith -- talk about the his voracious sexual appetite, while his cousin Bob Hendrix, and friend/musician Paul Caruso expound on his down-to-earth, easygoing nature.

Keith said Hendrix didn't really show much interest in any hobbies or sports, but was focused completely on his music and female pursuits. "He really had no interest for anything other than music and women," she said. "So Jimmy had two areas of expertise: He had his guitar playing, and then he had an immaculate and intense sexuality."
