Arson, Wrongful Imprisonment, and a Failed Masterpiece | Forever Changes by Love

Today we're discussing the legendary Forever Changes by Love. We're also doing a deep dive into the tragic story of singer and main songwriter Arthur Lee. Forever Changes is widely considered one of the best albums ever made, but it was a massive failure when it released. Later in life, Lee had many run-ins with the law, culminating in his wrongful imprisonment in 1996. He then died at the age of 61 in 2006.
