Alvin Lee (born Graham Anthony Barnes; 19 December 1944 – 6 March 2013) was an English singer and guitarist, best known as the lead vocalist and lead guitarist of the blues rock band Ten Years After.
He was born in Nottingham and attended the Margaret Glen-Bott School in Wollaton which was a precursor to Comprehensive Schools with grammar and secondary modern streams. He began playing guitar at the age of 13. In 1960, Lee along with Leo Lyons formed the core of the band Ten Years After. Influenced by his parents' collection of jazz and blues records, it was the advent of rock and roll that sparked his interest.
Lee's performance at the Woodstock Festival was captured on film in the documentary of the event, and his 'lightning-fast' playing helped catapult him to stardom. Soon the band was playing arenas and stadiums around the globe. The film brought Lee's music to a worldwide audience, although he later lamented that he missed the lost freedom and spiritual dedication with his earlier public.
Alvin Lee is a comic book artist known for his manga-styled art. Lee is the co-creator, along with writer Gail Simone of the character Agent X.

In 2001, Lee joined UDON as a lead artist with the revival of Capcom's Street Fighter comic books and Darkstalkers comic books. His talent has also led to the game art of two Capcom video game titles, Capcom Fighting Evolution and the re-release of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix.

Have Mercy may refer to:
Have Mercy is an album by rock band The Mooney Suzuki.
After the band finished touring for Alive and Amplified, they had some troubles. Founder guitarist Graham Tyler's father died, a strong supporter of the band from its early days, and Graham left to tend to his family. Then, the rhythm section dropped out. Sammy James Jr., guitarist and singer, wrote many of these songs during the troubled time. When he finally got around to recording them, Graham had rejoined, along with original drummer Will Rockwell-Scott.
Current bass player Reno Bo and ex-bass player Michael Bangs are both credited with backing vocals in the liner notes. Ironically, neither of them actually plays bass, Sammy James Jr. covers that.
After all of this, the band eyed an August 2006 release. However, their label V2 Records instead changed it to January 2007 for a better publicity push. Then, V2 folded, and the band spent 5 months looking for a way to release the album. It finally came out in June 2007 with bonus tracks on Elixiia Records/Templar Label Group.
Have Mercy is an American rock band from Baltimore, Maryland.
Have Mercy began in the year 2011. Since then, they have released two albums, one EP, and two splits. Their debut album, titled The Earth Pushed Back, was released in 2011 via Topshelf Records. Their sophomore album, titled A Place Of Our Own, was released in 2014 via Hopeless Records.
