Arthur
Lee, who was originally from Memphis, Tennessee, but had lived in Los
Angeles since he was five, had been recording since 1963 with his bands,
the LAG's and Lee's American Four. He had written and also produced the
single "My Diary" for Rosa Lee Brooks in 1964 which featured Jimi
Hendrix on guitar. A garage outfit, The Sons Of Adam, which included
future Love drummer Michael Stuart, also recorded a Lee composition,
"Feathered Fish". However, after viewing a performance by the Byrds, Lee
became determined to form a group that joined the newly minted
folk-rock sound of the Byrds to his primarily rhythm and blues style.
Singer-songwriter
and guitarist Bryan MacLean, whom Lee had met when he was working as a
roadie for the Byrds, joined the band just before they changed their
name from the Grass Roots to Love, spurred by the release of a single by
another group called the Grass Roots. MacLean had also been playing
guitar in bands since about 1963 but picked up music early. Neighbor
Frederick Loewe, of the composers Lerner & Loewe, recognized him as a
"melodic genius" at the age of three as he doodled on the piano. Also
joining the band was another Memphis native, lead guitarist Johnny
Echols. From L.A. was drummer Don Conka. A short time later, Conka was
replaced by Alban "Snoopy" Pfisterer. Love's first bassist, Johnny
Fleckenstein, went on to join the Standells in 1967. Fleckenstein was
replaced by Ken Forssi (formerly of a post-"Wipe Out" lineup of the
Surfaris).
