Love singer Arthur Lee dies at 61
Arthur Lee, singer and guitarist of the influential 1960s band Love, has died in Memphis at the age of 61 following a battle with acute myeloid leukaemia.
The multiracial band recorded three groundbreaking albums that fused rock, blues and psychedlia - the self-titled Love, Da Capo and Forever Changes.
A really sad day- these are some of my favourite albums ever! Ben Leyden told me a friend of his used to listen to 'Forever changes' every morning for 6 years. One of the best albums ever made. I'm listening to 'Da Capo' right now.
I've just been reminded that i hung out with him for a bit in Edinburgh. Serious ruler.....
His voice is loud in the shop right now...RIP brother.
