	WFMU's Beware of the Blog: Goodnight, Sweet Arthur
		In my 10-or-so strange, wondrous years working as an "underground musician," one of the strangest and most wondrous experiences I had was sharing the stage with the late Arthur Lee (aka Arthurly), notorious singer and songwriter for the legendary L.A. band Love.
		To say that Arthur Lee had a bit of the schizophrenic about him is to make a complimentary understatement, but the minimal practice time the band shared with him was bizarre and memorable for many reasons.
		Just this year, Arthur was diagnosed with lymphoma, and after a brief struggle with the disease, passed away in his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, on August 3 at the age of 61.

		Lee was perfectly satisfied of the disservice introduced by Carts and plows and really the impossibility of their doing any service....
		Philip Ludwell Lee's ledger records that he hired out joiners and carpenters; it may be that when he could not keep them busy with his own tasks, their time was leased to neighbors eager to pay for their services.
		Once Philip Ludwell Lee learned that the inspection warehouse would not be replaced, he may have decided against the investment needed for the restoration of a commercial mill and reverted to a more simplistic operation designed to serve his plantation and neighboring farms.

	BBC - Tyne Music - Arthur Lee and Love
		Arthur Lee was born in Memphis, Tennessee in 1944.
		No 1960s casualty, Lee and his music seem to have blossomed over the decades, with the legend in robust good health and performing at the peak of his considerable powers, his dynamic guitar and harmonica playing just the icing on the cake.
		In the interim Lee fans will be hoping that his management company has the sense to bring out a live album of his blistering 2002 UK performances.

	Love Connection
		Arthur Lee leans over a plate of tacos and beans and starts to wave his arms angrily, taking care not to disturb the great pink concoction in front of him that could be the Lake Superior of mixed drinks.
		Lee kept Love going with new musicians, but his songwriting faltered in the '70s, and by the middle of the decade he had joined the where-are-they-now brigade of former contenders who slip quietly out of the public eye.
		Lee says he was needed at home because his stepfather was ailing with terminal cancer, and he wanted to help his aging mother care for him.

	Love Story 1966–1972 - liners
		Arthur Lee was born March 7, 1945, in Memphis and moved to Los Angeles at the age of five.
		Lee fills the ballad with the niceties of romance--hearing his heart beating, to name one--but stays true to himself in the bridge by stating that he is still "wrapped in my armor." "'Andmoreagain,'" Lee says, is "a creature," one of the people he saw from his Sunset Boulevard apartment.
		Lee ironically pairs the sweetness associated with Crosby, Stills and Nash with a darker lyric set "down in the middle of a nightmare daydream." And Lee's delivery is dazzling, one of his finest recorded vocal performances.

		Arthur's new 13-song CD Dragonfly is produced by Grammy Award Nominated songwriter and producer Wendy Waldman (Save The Best For Last, John Cowan, New Grass Revival) and features songs co-written with his wife and lyricist Carol Lee.
		Arthur is a treat to listen and to see perform....in my eyes he has more talent then his rival Keller Williams.....his genere is unique and his sound is cutting edge.
		Arthur's special blend of bluegrass, his guitar virtuosity, the ace musicians that play on this album, well-written songs with beautiful harmonies...not to mention the spiritual jewels sprinkled throughout...are guaranteed to open your heart.

	Arthur Lee and Love and also Me
		Arthur was in great form all night, his singing got a bit stronger with each song, and he was grinning and mugging and putting on a great show.
		Arthur made another advance toward the lip, like he was actually gonna jump out on the floor and feed the guy his own camera.....but something must have gone off in his head (wisely) which said "Oh yeah, that's right, I forgot.
		Arthur remembered me and said softly "Hello sir, how are you?" He had a cane, which he was relying on heavily, having hurt his foot several days earlier.

	Chinese American brother, sister square off
		Lee's two-character play explores the unusual relationship between Arthur, the once proud first born son who has sunk into poverty as a result of his addiction to drink and gambling, and Leila, the elegant and rich president of the Asian Cultural Exchange Society.
		He told Lee that after seeing her at age 12 in a dance number combining classical and boogie-woogie music in the film "Donovan's Reef," he was inspired to become a musician.
		Lee is quick to emphasize that she is making no judgements about her character's "choices" --Leila's to forsake part of her heritage for the good life or Arthur's to cling to the past at the expense of the present.

		Arthur Lee is one of the most notorious and enigmatic characters in music.
		When Love was on the rise in the mid-60s Lee was a true original - one of the first LA hippies, part-hustler, part-psychedelic dandy - a fl man brought up on RandB but equally inspired by the likes of Roger McGuinn, the Beatles and the Stones.
		Lee is set to tour Australia and perform it in its entirety with a backing band complete with string and horn sections.

	A whole lotta Love
		Lee's failure to produce much worthwhile music after '68 has prompted some critics to put him in a class with Syd Barrett, Brian Wilson and Roky Erickson, notorious acid casualties of the Summer of Love.
		Performing a mix of new and older material, Lee is back and calling his current band Love, though this is somewhat unfair to his former partner, the late Bryan Maclean, who wrote some of the band's best songs.
		The musician's last performance here in the early '90s was underwhelming--fans cheered wildly for the vintage Love songs and politely endured the more recent material.

	Arthur Lee and Love / June 5, 2003 / New York (Town Hall)
		The only connection, in fact, is that the melancholy 22-year-old clutching a broken flower pot on the record's back cover was the same Arthur Lee as the man of 58 who stood at center stage in cowboy hat and fringe, directing a band composed of relative youngsters.
		Lee, the mastermind behind Love's many incarnations, presided over a two-hour performance that brought Love to life -- and life to Love -- regardless of the bridge of years since the band's heyday.
		He was also battling a leg injury, trying in vain all night to repress the urge to jump around or bang a tambourine against the damaged limb.

	Adrian's Album Reviews : Love
		But you can tell that Lee and his cohorts were true freaks, because the lyrical content of the original tunes was almost the stuff of true daring at the time.
		Arthur Lee had so little faith in his band he got a team of top L.A session musicians to record two songs proposed for 'Forever Changes', bypassing his group altogether.
		Arthur Lee decided that Love couldn't compete sonically with the likes of The Who or Jimi Hendrix.

		Lee, in fact, was so convinced of the Doors’ potential for stardom that he’s said to have persuaded the head of Love’s label, Elektra president Jac Holzman, to check out a Doors gig.
		Although Lee — who is currently in prison serving an eight-year sentence on weapons-related charges — has groused over the years that the album didn’t turn out the way he wanted it to, the material on Forever Changes bears out Holzman’s assessment of his special gifts as a songwriter and musician.
		Meanwhile, Lee’s fever-dream imagination manifests itself in peculiar and frequently deranged lyrics that veer from tender to ominous in the span of a couplet.

		Lee sings, or rather shouts, the lyrics to this one.
		I say 'interpreted' because the whole point of Arthur Lee's lyrics: they're not meant to be understood or discerned, they're just meant to be interpreted by the individual.
		Two musicians who played on this album and left before the recording of 'that next album' really add a jazzy and classical dimension to the sound.
