And then I see this. It's not that it was a surprise. Arthur Lee has been cheating death for years. And he was ill. But, man, I love Love.
Still, it felt like he was just beginning to get his full due again; people were starting to give him the love he lost in the seventies. Sad, really. And he owed some of that to "Always See Your Face" being played in High Fidelity at just the right moment. But also he owes a lot to Stew, Baby Lemonade, Shack/Pale Fountains and the other bands who know and supported him and promoted his legacy in this last decade.
Go out and buy Forever Changes today (seriously, everyone should own that one). Or Love Story. You won't be sorry. Trust me.
Love - Listen to My Song
