The late and great Nicolette Larson is best known for this Neil Young composition, but Nicolette recorded several albums in the pop and country genres during her working life.Taken from her loved ones and the record buying public way way too soon in 1997, her music is thankfully with us fans for ever. 

I'm not sure what it was about Nicolette that had me hooked with this first single, but her first 4 albums in the pop field are among my favourites of the decade, and the follow up to the self titled set 'In the nick of time' in my all time top 10! Her voice is sweet but not sugary or predictable in how she would use it. Nicolette was adept at interpreting songs from many realms of pop culture, evident on those early lp's. A foray into country music in the mid 80's was of no surprise, as there had been signs early on that she had an affinity with the purity of folk, bluegrass and classic country.

'Lotta Love' is sadly one of just two Top 40 pop entries that bear the name of Nicolette Larson. (the other being the minor hit duet with Michael McDonald on 'Let me go love').'Lotta love' entered the American charts in late 1978, and by early 1979 had reached the Top 10. In Australia, the track just missed; reaching #11 and helping the 'Nicolette' LP go on to be one of the Top 25 best selling albums of 1979.

Here is the extended promo version of the song. More of Nicolette to come....
