- Before he hired Bryan MacLean as a guitarist for Love, the position was held by none other than Bobby Beausoleil who was later a driving force in the Charles Manson murders.
- Got the inspiration to cover the Hal David / Burt Bacharach song "My Little Red Book" while watching What's New Pussycat (1965). The tune was Love's first hit on the charts and also served as the opening track to their debut album.
- In 1966 he and his band Love were the first rock band ever signed to Elektra Records.
- Jimi Hendrix was a big fan of Lee and his band Love. When Hendrix was found deceased, in his record collection was a copy of Love's second album "Da Capo" from 1967.
- Was to form a group called Band-Aid in 1971 with Jimi Hendrix, Steve Winwood and African percussionist Rebop Kwakabooah. Hendrix's death scuttled those plans.
