The ways in which Arthur Lee's style influenced Jim Morrison

[StrangeNightOfStone]

I think Arthur Lee had a *huge* influence of Jim Morrison's style of singing, and onstage mannerisms.
When i saw Arthur live, he cupped his ear with one hand and sang with his eyes closed-Things Jim did in concert!
I think Arthur noticed this too, as he lamented to me that Jim 'stole his act'.

I think these are Athur Lee mannerisms Jim copied and made his own-What do you think?

I think Jim did copy things from Arthur. All Doors looked up to LOVE, remember Jim's words: "If we could only be as big as LOVE"

But then again, Arthur also claimed that Jimi Hendrix's clothing style came from him AND the use of the Wah Wah pedal came from LOVE also, here's what LOVE lead guitar player Johhny Echols wrote about it for my site:http://thefreedomman.com/love/Johnny6.htm

Good points- Little Richard also claimed Jimi stole his own clothing style- I think Little Richard was unnerved that Jimi could steal his spotlight

Little Richard said the same thing of Jimi Hendrix. I don't like Little Richard

Little Richard was HUGE influence on tons of artists but his ego is just as
HUGE!



The reverend Little Richard can be a bit off-the-wall......one sandwich short of a picnic!
