Arthur Lee died last week of leukemia. If you don't know who he was, he was the leader of a band in the 60s called Love. He convinced Elektra Records to sign The Doors back in 1967, and was a big influence on Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant. Plant performed at a benefit concert to help cover Lee's medical bills earlier this summer. He was 61.
