Nicolette Larson (July 17, 1952 – December 16, 1997) was perhaps best known for her work in the late 1970s with Neil Young and her 1978 hit single of Young's "Lotta Love", which hit No. 1 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart and No. 8 on the pop singles chart.
By 1985, she shifted her focus to country music, charting six times on the US country singles chart. She died in 1997 of cerebral edema and liver failure.

A great song sung by a talented woman with a soulful, beautiful voice. I remember hearing this on a very wide variety of radio stations back then. Life was so very different; one could tune into a local music station and hear songs that were of themselves works of art, combining soul-stirring melodies with just the right lyrics. And now...
Loved that song. Good production from NY.
