Arthur Lee was born on March 7, 1945 in Memphis, Tennessee, USA. He was a composer, known for Point Break (1991), Gone Baby Gone (2007) and Jojo Rabbit (2019). He was married to Diane. He died on August 3, 2006 in Memphis, Tennessee, USA.
Before he hired Bryan MacLean as a guitarist for Love, the position was
held by none other than Bobby Beausoleil who was later a driving force
in the Charles Manson murders.
Got the inspiration to cover the Hal David / Burt Bacharach song "My
Little Red Book" while watching What's New Pussycat (1965). The
tune was Love's first hit on the charts and also served as the opening
track to their debut album.
In 1966 he and his band Love were the first rock band ever signed to
Elektra Records.
Jimi Hendrix was a big fan of Lee and his band Love. When Hendrix was found deceased, in his record collection was a
copy of Love's second album "Da Capo" from 1967.
