There are several artists that go by the name of Love:

1. An American psychedelic rock group formed in Los Angeles in 1965. They were led by singer, songwriter and guitarist Arthur Lee (March 7, 1945 - August 3, 2006) and the group’s second songwriter, guitarist Bryan Maclean (September 25, 1946 - December 25, 1998). One of the first racially diverse American pop bands, their music reflected a remarkable array of influences, combining elements of rock and roll, garage rock, folk, showtunes and psychedelia. Other members included John Echols, Johnny Fleckenstein, Don Conka, Alban Snoopy Pfisterer, Ken Forssi, Tjay Cantrelli, Michael Stuart, Jay Donnellan, Gary Rowles, Frank Fayad, and George Suranovich.

The band’s critical reputation far exceeds the limited success they experienced: their 1967 album Forever Changes is consistently cited by critics as one of the most outstanding albums in the history of rock music. Indeed Members of the UK House of Commons even signed an Early Day Motion claiming:

“…this House pays tribute to the legendary Arthur Lee, also known as Arthurly, frontman and inspiration of Love, the world’s greatest rock band and creators of Forever Changes, the greatest album of all time…” (EDM1369, 22.05.2002)

The U.S. Congress, too, endorsed Forever Changes as “encapsulating the full boney-moroney of 20th Century life.” (U.S. Congressional Record, 27.03.72)

Lee continued the band until 1975, having lost all the other members to drug problems. He formed other bands called Love (sometimes with former band mate Echols) through the 1990s.

2. The alter ego of Japanese pop singer Ai Otsuka ().

3. Former lead singer of disbanded CORE OF SOUL, Fukiko Nakamura’s solo work’s alias.
