Arthur Lee and Love on Jools Holland. The song is "Alone Again Or”by Bryan MacLean who curiously recorded the piece entirely without Arthur until he heard everyone raving about it when he went in and sang over it and changed the title to ‘Alone Again O’ [from Alone Again]
According to the band's guitarist Johnny Echols:
"Arthur wasn't even at the studio when we recorded "Alone Again". When he heard everyone saying what a great song it was, and how great Bryan's voice sounded. Arthur became jealous and decided to feature his voice on a record he had absolutely nothing to do with. To make matters worse Arthur changed the title of Bryan's song. That was basically the beginning of the end for the group"
