Jim Marshall Dies

JIM MARSHALL, 88, who helped shape the sound of rock and roll with his groundbreaking amplifier designs, died in a hospice in England after suffering from cancer and several severe strokes. Marshall was known throughout the music world for founding Marshall Amplification, which produced the amplifiers that rocked music halls and arenas after their introduction in 1960. Many of rock's most illustrious guitarists were photographed in front of stacks of Marshall amplifiers, including Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townshend and Jimmy Page, among others, who were drawn to the rough, loud sound produced by the English-made amps.
