Jimi Hendrix wrote Voodoo Child (Slight Return) and it was recorded by him in 1968.

That's chile, not child. He most definitely was using voodoo to coax the sounds he made out of the equipment he used. He was a "magic boy" who could play remembered jazz and R&B lines note for note. He was "Experienced", "not necessarily stoned, but beautiful". He burned his already on fire guitar as sacrifice to the music he loved. If that ain't voodoo, than what is? ( In the blues version it is Chile. The rockin' "Slight Return" it's Child)
Voodoo Child is a fairly slow blues song. "on the night i was born...the moon ita turned a fire red." vs. Voodoo Chile (light return) is the popular "Well I stand up next to a mountain and I chop it down with the edge of my hand."
only one-all along the watchtower reached number 20 in 1968 Hard to believe, isn't it?

Same guitar as almost always. A right handed cream colored fender strat strung backwards.
Slight Return was created in 1996.

I felt a slight stiffness in my upper lip.
Purple Haze, The Wind Cries Mary, Can You See ME?, Voodoo Chile(Slight Return), Little Wing, Angel, Castles Made Of Sand, Crosstown Traffic, Gypsy Eyes, Roomful Of Mirrors, Remember, Red House, UP from the skies, Pali Gap(Instrumental), & Highway Chile.
Mostly Fender Stratocasters, but he also used others like the Epiphone Wiltshire, Fender Jazzmaster, Fender Duo-Sonic, Gibson Flying V, Washburn Acoustin, Epiphone Acoustic, Gibson Les Paul custom, Gibson ES-335, Epiphone Casino, Fender Mustang, and Gibson Acoustic J-200.
The only two similarities are that both songs are by the "Jimi Hendrix Experience" and are both off the "Electric Ladyland" album. "Voodoo Chile" goes for about 15 minutes and is very laid back and bluesy. "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" has completely different lyrics, has a much more hard rock feel to it and features Steve Winwood on organ and goes for about 5 minutes. The book "Jimi Hendrix - Electric Gypsy" gives lengthy explanations of both songs.
