From the article: "Former bandmates Bryan MacLean and Ken Forssi both died while Lee was incarcerated, forever ending any speculation as to a full-fledged Love reunion."
That bizarre notion is funny, damn funny... but is it OK to make fun like that in a wiki article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.237.250.75 ( talk) 06:35, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
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.
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.
I have to agree Martyn. Foreverchanges1167 ( talk) 14:18, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
Isn't there an image of Mr. Lee where you can see his actual face? Wencer 03:42, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
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)
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.

I don't know, there are several pages on Love and Arthur Lee and they seem quite one sided and opinionated to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tidm ( talk • contribs) 01:46, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
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.

I've removed the following contribution from the article page:
It should be recognized that Dave Chapple, Mike Randle, David Daddyo Green & Rusty Squeezbox (aka David Ramsey, performed with Arthur as the LOVE band for more years than any other musicians. Arthur knew he could rely on them & he could simply go out there to do what he loved to do, make music. They were a team. Two weeks before Arthur's passing he asked me to be sure to tell each one he loved them all. Things happen in life we don't always understand at the time. This is not to take away Arthur's respect for any of the other band members or not recognize the friendship Arthur had with Johnny Echols or how much he respected Johnny's musicianship or Don Conka or Bryan MacLean or Michael Stuart or the list goes on & on with all of the following musicians throughout the years whoever performed with Arthur Lee. This is only said to recognize & draw attention to a great group of guys. Yes things happened in 2005 due to unknown illness and Arthur would attempt to move on musically until the illness stopped him but that does not take away from what was a great musical unit. Thanks for allowing me to write this addendum Diane Lee.
Sorry, but whether this is true or not (and it may well be), this is commentary which shouldn't be in the article itself - unless it has already been published elsewhere, and a source provided. The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth — whether readers can check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true.
