Arthur Lee, 1945-2006




The Love frontman died yesterday in Memphis, the result of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. More via Pitchfork.

His solo album "Vindicator" was one king hell album.

Arthur Lee was brilliant--a genius, extraordinarily gifted, clever, funny, a writer of joyous music. He's always deserved more recognition. Thank God he finally got some before he died.
