Hendrix. It would have been interesting to see where his music would of gone given 20-30 more years.
 
All great choices but mine's Mozart. :) What Christian said. Mozart died at 35 and had already composed over 600 pieces that set the world on end. Would be fascinating to see what he would compose nowadays.
 
My mom. She played violin. I lost her when I was six. Would be nice to get to know her. (And two, my great great uncle Antonin Dvorak. It would be interesting to know him as well.)

Tom Lehrer's old joke "When Mozart was my age, he was dead." Now in 3 months I can say "When Mozart was my daughter's age, he was dead."

Hendrix is taken so I will say A man who put out a first album before any Electronic wizardry of solid hits I have a first pressing of a great album by Buddy Holly
who else put out a album this good on the first try.

Honorable mentions Ruggiero Ricci, Jonny Cash , Marc Bolan , Son House Rory Gallagher and Roy Buchanan .
 
I have to go with Hendrix too. As much as I love Lennon, I think his best years were behind him musically before he died. I really think he needed McCartney to bring the best out of him. Anybody see the video of Hendrix in England playing a cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band two weeks after it was released in front of the Beatles and the rest of the British rock royalty?
 
Since we are talking about reincarnation and time travel, or at least time displacements - Mozart or Hendrix now, not just living longer in their own time periods, there is an interesting musical spatial coincidence with a big time displacement involving Mr. Hendrix. About 6 blocks down the street where we have our timeshare in London is the house where both George Friedrich Handel and Jimmi Hendrix were spatial next door neighbors. It is now the Handel House Museum (on Brook Street) and sometimes they open up the flat where Hendrix lived just a year or so before his death. It is said that Hendrix got quite interested when he found out he was living next to Handel's long time residence.

So now you know the answer to the question of what Handel and Hendrix have in common, besides the first letter of their last name.
 
Buddy Holly

He was 22 when he died. Imagine what sort of artist he may have been if he lived for another 20 years.
 
I remember as a kid Freddy Mercury used to make my Polish grandmother get into song. She thought the gay moustache thing, lipstick & stockings was very funny too.
