Hendrix Jr. was born James Henrik Daniel Sundquist in the October of 1969 nine months after his mother, Eva, hooked up with Hendrix in Stockholm, Sweden, and “had two complete intercourses,” as the Swedish judges put it.

Eva informed Jimi about the pregnancy and the birth of his son. Jimi affirmed that upon his return to Stockholm in 1970, he would meet his son. Although he promised to return to Sweden in order to meet his son, Jimi never got to meet his son before his death. Though James Daniel never had the chance to meet his father, he had the chance to meet his grandfather James Allen Hendrix.

After his father, Jimi’s death in 1970, his grandfather, James Allen Hendrix aka Al, inherited his son’s fortune and excluded other family members from it. The fact that his son had a child, albeit out of wedlock, made no difference to Al.

Armed with a paternity judgment affirmed by Swedish courts, Hendrix Jr. sought to inherit Hendrix’s scattered and bitterly contested estate, estimated to be worth at least $30 million – but possibly more than double that amount. As a result, James Daniel eventually sued his grandfather for failing to include him in his father’s will.

Daniel Sundquist filed a case in Los Angeles Superior Court, claiming that he is the true heir to his father’s fortune rather than his grandfather. This battle dragged on for a long time because, while the court accepted James Daniel as Jimi’s son, no paternity tests were performed to confirm this.

“I’m not angry with Al,” explains James Daniel Sundquist, who says he met his American grandfather on a visit to Seattle with his more when he was 7 years old. “I just feel I’ve been treated unfairly. I want people to know that I am not a fake.” Hendrix Jr. was legally declared to be Hendrix’s son in 1975, even though no sample of the purported father’s blood was available. Today’s DNA-matching methods could decisively prove paternity but would require the exhumation of Hendrix’s body. “It’s a horrible thought,” says James Daniel Sundquist, “but if it’s the only way to find out what’s right or what’s wrong, then it can’t be avoided.”
