A singer and multi-instrumentalist whose influence upon todays music scene is tremendously unrecognized, Arthur Lee of the band Love has passed away from leukemia.
Formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, Love was one of the first interracial rock bands and frontman Lee often billed himself as the "first black hippie". Lee's music has influenced thousands of musicians over the years, both directly and indirectly. Jim Morrison was said to have considered Love his favorite band and their songs have been covered by everyone from Alice Cooper's "Seven and Seven Is" to the Velvet Undergrounds cover of "She Comes In Colors".
