Arthur Lee Harper

Singer and songwriter Arthur Lee Harper billed himself simply as Arthur (no last name) on his first album, 1968's Dreams and Images, and then as Arthur Lee Harper on his second and last, 1969's Love Is the Revolution. It's the same guy who did both records, and he most assuredly has no connection with the famous Arthur Lee who led the group Love. Arthur, or Arthur Lee Harper, was as mild-mannered a folk-rock singer/songwriter as there was in the late '60s, singing sad songs that emanated fearful uncertainty, as well as slight airs of self-pity and disengagement. Arthur is a relatively obscure artist from the US who recorded two albums in the late 1960s and then one more in the mid 1970s. Sadly, Arthur Lee Harper died of a heart attack on January 10th, 2002 the same night his wife was killed in a car accident.
