Prison, Love & Deadly Fire - The Downfall of Arthur Lee | Rock 'N' Roll Mysteries #43

His band was called 'Love', but one journalist said they should have been called 'Fist'. No one encapsulated the darkside of the summer of Love better than Arthur Lee. Lost, forgotten and yet utterly brilliant, his final downfall was harder and more brutal than you'll ever believe. Well, it's time to kick back, relax and get deep into another strange and mysterious musical life in this full-length music documentary.
