Love singer Arthur Lee RIP

Love singer Arthur Lee dies at 61 :
Arthur Lee, singer and guitarist of 1960s band Love, dies in Memphis after a battle with leukaemia.

I only discovered the band, LOVE, fairly recently, but they rocked in an unusually interesting universe, based on the quirky lyric sense of Arthur Lee. If you've never heard them, go ahead and listen.
