before there was jimi hendrix there was arthur lee. everybody ripped him off, including the doors and jimi

[neduddgi]

Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison were avowed fans of Love's Arthur Lee.

[Nikoline95]

guess this is without Love??

[neduddgi]

Yes, this is solo album, the Vindicator, 1972.

[greta1643]

Arthur Lee was a major and totally underrated musician.

we miss him !

@slimturnpike

That's probably true, but if nothing else this record speaks to the breadth of Lee's genius and versatility... I mean, who would believe that the guy who did this is the same guy who wrote and sang on "You Set the Scene" (one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded) and, before that, something as trippy as "She Comes in Colors"?

[slimturnpike]

@MePJtheDJ yeah he's right. i was around then, listened to love, the hendrix and altho there was some back and forth byt this point, and particularly in this song, Lee is copying Hendrix more than Hendrix ever was influenced by Lee.

@newcrate1

say what you feel - he's copying Jimi here NOT the other way around friend..! 1972 was few years beyond Jimi's appearance on the scene

note: it sounds nothing like LOVE

[pbstratocaster]

This is NOT the version from the Vindicator album !!!!!!!!!!!!

[shaneshakyid]

add the stones to that! their song she`s a rainbow was ripped off from she comes in colours!
