 Arthur Lee and Love
Arthur Lee (born Arthur Taylor Porter, Memphis, 3/7/45; some sources say 1944) formed LOVE in 1965 with himself (lead vocals, harmonica, occasional guitar/bass/piano/drums) and Bryan Maclean (rhythm guitar, occasional lead vocals; also half-brother of Lone Justice's Maria McKee)...

 Boston.com / News / Boston Globe / Living / Arts / Arthur Lee is back and all about the Love
In 1967 Lee, a 22-year-old fl man, stormed the crystal towers of highest, whitest LA hippiedom with his band Love's "Forever Changes." Chamber-pop, folk-baroque, psycho-troubadour.
This is the lineup he plays with today; absent the inconvenience of a six-year stretch for firearms possession (he was released in late 2001), he would have been playing with them for 10 years.
Lee's 30-year-old music is undebauched by time, its delicate, immaterial boogie intact.

 Personal reflections on Arthur Lee of Love   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Lee earned a reputation for being one of the first people to be constantly tripping on LSD while rumours of hard drug use circled around the band; this all being during a time when most of the sub-culture had barely discovered pot.
Lee was sometimes derided, even within his own band, for being too abstract in his lyrics, but though they may not always seem to be literal in their meaning, there is plenty of vivid imagery and hidden meaning to find between the lines.
Arthur Lee continued to front various bands called Love off and on sporadically through the rest of the 60's and into the 70's, but both his erratic behaviour and growing public indifference kept him from making any sort of a substantive comeback.

Thirty-six years since the album's release and after a world of trouble (last year, Lee finished serving six years for discharging a firearm during a dispute with a neighbor), the once-reclusive, doomsaying Lee was at New York City's Town Hall to perform his reawakened masterwork.
Lee announced that he was going to bypass the rousing tenth track, "Bummer in the Summer," because "my leg can't take it." But he made the most of his limited mobility, windmilling his tambourine and maracas, conducting the makeshift orchestra, and, perhaps ill-advisedly, punctuating his lyrical deliveries with machinegun and handgun gestures.
Before Lee exited the stage for good he demanded of the crowd one favor, "Love one another," and then grinned his devilish grin.
