Love

Love, a pioneering West Coast folk-rock/psychedelic band led by the enigmatic Arthur Lee, blended influences from folk-rock, hard rock, blues, jazz, and more to create a unique sound during the '60s. Despite critical acclaim and influence on bands like the Doors, Love's refusal to tour hindered their commercial success, as they never landed a hit single or album. Their masterpiece, "Forever Changes," is regarded as one of the finest rock albums of all time, showcasing captivating lyrics and intricate arrangements.

After Love's breakup in the late '60s, Arthur Lee continued to release music under the Love moniker, but subsequent albums lacked the magic of the original lineup. Lee's personal struggles, legal issues, and declining songwriting led to a turbulent career with sporadic releases and performances. However, a resurgence in interest in the early 2000s, fueled by reissues and legal battles, saw Lee touring again with a new Love lineup before his untimely passing in 2006. Despite challenges, Love's legacy endures as a groundbreaking force in the '60s music scene.
