Self-styled “first so-called black hippie” dead at 61 after a battle with leukemia. (BBC) Lee was the founder and frontman of the short-lived but compelling ’60’s West Coast progressive rock’ band Love, which, apart from a small number of aficionados, never received the recognition it deserved. Forever Changes, the band’s third album, is one of the greatest albums of all time, certainly still as fresh and listenable whenever I put it on as it was when I bought it upon initial release. Here (BBC) is a more extensive profile of his musical career. Sad news indeed, I’ll miss him; going off now to listen to Forever Changes.
