[edit] Post-Love
Anyone want to add a "Post-Love" section, with his recent album release, etc? I'm afraid I lack the knowledge of Arthur Lee's history needed to write about it.
[edit] Prison
This article omits Lee's entire prison period; someone want to rectify that? Seems like a pretty important part of the story to me (which I don't know enough about to write, and am not about to go fishing around on the Web to piece it together).--66.52.186.158 05:35, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
This article has a lot of problems as far as I can tell. There's nothing about Lee's role in getting the Doors signed to Elektra records - he personally recommended them to label head Jac Holtzman. The author discounts all of Love's work from the fourth album (Four Sail) on; there's nothing about Lee's solo releases; there's nothing about Lee's collaboration with Hendrix, "The Everlasting First"; nothing about the many re-formations of Love throughout the '70s and '80s; nothing about Lee's lengthy jail term in the mid-90's....It sounds like it was written by a semi-well-informed fan, but this article needs more meat.
"psychedelic black man archetype"? I'm not getting offended or 'right on' but that could be worded a bit better lol.
[edit] Death
- First Syd and now Arthur. What a terrible last four weeks it's been :-( Martyn Smith 18:33, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Picture
Isn't there an image of Mr. Lee where you can see his actual face? Wencer 03:42, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Birth name
Arthur Taylor Porter seems to be the more favoured (rather than Arthur Lee Porter). Can we clear up the difference of opinion on the main article page - particularly now that Mr Lee is sadly no more ? Derek R Bullamore 13:08, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- According to Barney Hoskyns, Arthur Lee - Alone Again Or, 2001, ISBN 1-84195-085-5, the full name on his birth certificate was Arthur Porter Taylor. Hoskyns quotes Arthur's mother as stating that he was nicknamed "Po" as a child, as an abbreviation of Porter. This seems quite authoritative, but when I first added this information, it was reverted by another user. If there is evidence that his birth name was NOT Arthur Porter Taylor, can it please be set out. (Great man, by the way, and I'm proud to say I once shook his hand !)

[edit] Citations regarding criminal records
It may be useful (especially for those with a strong position on three-strikes laws) to provide citation on the criminal record and resulting prison term.

[edit] One sided
I don't know, there are several pages on Love and Arthur Lee and they seem quite one sided and opinionated to me.
[edit] The Make-Up's "Free Arthur Lee"
I didn't actually know who Arthur Lee was until I decided to look him up based on The Make-Up song "Free Arthur Lee." Can we include this tidbit somewhere - that they wrote a song for him?
Thanks.
