About She Comes in Colors

"She Comes in Colors" is a song written by Arthur Lee and released by Love as a single in 1966 and on their 1967 album Da Capo. It was also included on a number of Love compilation albums, including Love Revisited and Best of Love and on the multi-artist compilation album Forever Changing: The Golden Age of Elektra 1963–1973. Although modern critics have praised the song as being "sublime", or a "timeless jewel" or as possibly the best song Lee ever wrote, at the time of its release as a single it failed to make the Billboard Hot 100. Lee and some music critics believed that "She Comes in Colors" was a source for the Rolling Stones' song "She's a Rainbow", and several music critics and record company executives also believe that it influenced Madonna's "Beautiful Stranger", although Madonna has denied this. The song was also covered by several artists, including the Hooters. more »
