Today I was thinking about another post on Arthur Lee. Before the incarnation of Led Zepplin Robert Plant was in a cover band that did the music of Arthur Lee and Love. Robert Plant performed some covers at a recent benefit concert for Arthur Lee shortly before his death in 2006.

There is a documentary about the life of Arthur Lee coming out on August 5 2008 and will cover his life story. Some of the original members have passed on such as Bryan MacLean and Ken Forssi.

The band love was a rather short lived band in the original form it lasted from 1966 to 1968 but has had a lasting impact on music. Bryan MacLean wrote several of the tunes for the band. When the band broke up he became a Christian musician and worked with his half sister Maria McKee.

Maria Mckee was in acclaimed cow punk band Lone Justice and performed songs written by Tom Petty. She also wrote 1985 Feargal Sharkey's "A Good Heart" which hit #1 on the UK charts.



The band has a lot history and is well worth checking out. Remember they are endorsed by the lead singer of led Zepplin!
