Love Story 14 - Arthur Lee on Jimi Hendix

[@mtzimm]

Thanks for the Love Clips! Arthur Lee was Soooo ahead of the times back then. His music still sounds great!

[@SrServ]

I truly love both. Then and now.

[@jazmaan]

The Curtis Mayfield tune Arthur is referring to is "Gypsy Woman". The guitar technique is sometimes called "waterfall" and is based on "hammer-ons and pull-offs". The reason Arthur says so emphatically that "I wrote the song" is because in later years Rosa Lee Brooks would claim that SHE wrote it. She also claims that Jimi was her true love and showed me unpublished pictures of them in swimsuits at Santa Monica beach in 1964. But I have no doubt that Arthur wrote the song.

[@curbozerboomer1773]

Ms. Brooks was attractive, and both Jimi and Arthur had a thing for her. Jimi won out, for awhile!

[@HistoryofTek]

man this is great....thanks for the post...

[@Bopalena]

If you can find the LOVE album "Out Here" from late 1969 check out the tune "Love is More Than Words". Amazing jam and it still sounds futuristic! The whole double album is great! God bless Arthur Lee.

[@jala1081]

Spotify has it.

[@flabdabit]

God bless Arthure Lee ..........

Arthur's funny. "He (Jimi) stole my dress attire. I don't appreciate that shit."

[@keithmccaslyn2527]

I totally disagree on the 'dress attire' thing, Jimi didnt steal a damn thang from Arthor's ass, if anyting Jimi put together a 'collage' of his own some from Little Richard,some from James Brown ,plus his 'own thing' which he had together well before he ever met Arthor and his band,then when Jimi went to england,he REALLY got it together and did 'his thing',I do NOT for one second believe Jimi stole his shit, the other way round,yeah,probably! it easier to say some shit like that 40 some years later about a dead Man. geez Arthor have some class and couth. U werent all that,by the way.

[@jamesfitzgerald6636]

Jimmy didn’t nick from Arthur! He wasn’t famous till he went to England and then dressed like people in London dressed and nicked The Who’s act! Smashing guitar and such!

[@curbozerboomer1773]

@@keithmccaslyn2527 Lee was jealous of Jimi's style, as well as his incredible guitar playing.

[@GuitarExplicit]

@@curbozerboomer1773Dude, they were friends. And they definitely appreciated each others talents, Arthur’s just poking a bit of fun at his friend here

[@alphabravo431]

@barrtarr Agreed about Hendrix, and like Arthur was mainly a songwriter with a backing band. All 4 co-wrote almost everything with Zep. Page a session guitarist and recording engineer, Plant mainly wrote vocals and vocal melodies after the others had a groove underway and often lead by bonzo. Jones did most of the serious arranging and Page was a master of writing those great riffs. 4 people so talented that together they created a 5th element.

[@Michael69]

You forgot the part where Plant and Page stole from other artists

[@bassesatta9235]

Michael lmao they dont wanna hear it

[@RastafariPoet]

Once he said Jimi Hendrix, his face lit up lol

[@DWatson_lagcc]

great . clip !!!!.. and now to be pissy with some details .. JIMi had already recorded by 63, and his year with Little Richard did a lot for his dress sense!!!

[@mungous1000]

This guy is flying. How appropriate that he's sitting at a bar. After how many drinks was this interview done?

[@Kriskazam]

Jimi jacked Lee's style like how ASAP took SGP/Raider Klan style. The major difference is that only one of them are beefing about it like children

[@caribman10]

Yeah, no. Good posit, though.

[@jala1081]

Asap rocky crew, the rapper? If so i should check out sgp/raider klan, never heard of them. I like rocky.

[@captpogossian]

If this was uploaded in 2007 - raw offline footage with burned-in timecode from an analogue VTR, shot off the monitor - and the myspace link is anything to go by, the documentary has never been completed. I have no idea what the original masters look like but as far as I can tell from these clips it's pretty rough. Anyone know more?

[@23longy]

It's on Amazon available to buy. Definitely worth a watch, a really good documentary and much better quality than the above video.

[@tophtml1]

Pan oRoya The timecode says it was shot at 24 FPS (standard for then). PS: GOD bless Arthur Lee and Love, one of my favorites. Reminds me of the good times in the '60s.

[@KathleenMcCormickLCSWMPH]

It’s also on KZbin now.

[@7125Mhz]

that's the man! oh yes!

[@deedevlin3934]

He think Arthur had a few before this interview?

[@LisaRichards_123]

All you have to do is listen to to the song, and you can tell Jimi wrote it

[@LucidDream]

Jimi did kinda take Arthur's style...though I think even Arthur knew that it was kinda silly to complain about it. Style is not meant to be for one person only. Besides we all know Jimi is a great too. Though I have to say I like Arthur Lee way more...he was born in my state, shares a somewhat similar outlook as me, and both of our middle names are Taylor. :) I love Arthur.

[@alphabravo431]

@bloderme Thanks for the info. I will have a look at some of it, cheers.

[@mattrech0]

Danny Brown knows his history.

[@Shortm0vie]

Definately Hendrix is the best guitarist ever! and the guy who posted this video spelt Hendrix wrong!

There are many guitar players more talented than Jimi Hendrix.

[@barpypardlo]

true!

[@scottschweiger2157]

Genius

[@Phil_Trujeque]

Arthur Lee didn't do heroin. That wasn't his deal.

[@sammyscotch9945]

Yeah he did. That actually was his deal

[@luckypigballs]

and Madonna apparently!! Austin Powers track

[@aboutdafunk]

Arthur was great but dayum he's high as a kite!!

[@scottgolden2766]

aboutdafunk I was wondering if he was buzzed on something to. Be thankful it's better than nothing

[@sammyscotch9945]

I noticed right away. Hes so high its uncomfortable to see

[@pranky4]

Man was dying of leukaemia at this point.

[@KamoHaze]

Damn that's cool Danny Brown knows his music. Grow w/ Kamo. check out my youtube channel kamo haze

[@mjrg2]

Danny Brown/A$AP Rocky/Noisey brought me here lol.

[@majordrill]

looks like Danny Brown has brought quite a few ppl here. lol

[@ObeyTheMuse]

Hendrix snitch in...fuck it mean he the mob

[@derekjohnsonyoutubechannel7322]

Rosa Lee Brooks and Jimi Hendrix wrote the song after making ❤ this guy is a thief.. I pity the...fool..

[@RadicalSharkRS]

Wait did they really do that?

[@LisaRichards_123]

Really bad imitation of what little Richard would have said

[@sammyscotch9945]

[@davidshields948]

God bless Arthur Lee
