Andmoreagain: Rhino Marks 50th Anniversary of Love's "Forever Changes" with Massive Box Set
Released just months after the so-called Summer of Love, Forever Changes was the third studio album by the group simply and boldly called Love. But more than just that four-letter word was on the mind of bandleader/songwriter Arthur Lee, who saw beyond sunshine and flowers that summer. Love traded in the punchy electric guitar sound of the group's first two albums (and successful singles like "7 and 7 Is" and a cover of Burt Bacharach and Hal David's "My Little Red Book") for a denser, more

Simone (1933-2003) played by her own rules in life and art, recording some of the most electric and eclectic music imaginable in any genre.

This April, she will enter the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, though she preferred to call her singular fusion of

In the last year alone, he's donated his personal archives to the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, and has endowed The Sonny Rollins Jazz Ensemble Fund at Oberlin College. Touchingly, he revealed to an interviewer
