This is intended to be a homage to very many musicians I've loved since I started listening to music. My intention is to tell what I know about them, hoping that those people who like them too, will help me fill numerous gaps, which I may have in their careers and discographies. Sorry, but there are no MP3 audio files here at all, just info (and love for the musicians).

BIOGRAPHY:

This page will be shorter than usual, as I haven´t too much info on Robert Rozelle, but Love was a great band and every one of his members deserves to be remembered.


LOVE


This was the lineup for Love circa 1972:

LOVE #?

Arthur Lee

Melvan Whittington

This was one of the most stable incarnations of this band, and stayed together for a long time, probably until 1974.


AND THEN...


I don´t know more details about him, except for an album where he appears.

This was the new lineup for Arthur Lee & Love at the end of 1992:
