"Lotta Love" was written and recorded by Neil Young before Nicolette Larson's version was released as the lead single from her 1978 album 'Nicolette' 🎶
Man! What's up? I've been playing this song over and over again the last weeks, after losing track of it the last three decades; It came back in my life big time! And now I see it uploaded everywhere and recommended to me all the time. I guess it's gonna take a lot of love to get out of this duality thinking dominated, evil current times! And it's gonna take a lot of love for me personally as well to watch all the sadness unfolding the coming years I feel. Lots of love to y'all!
If you happen to be over 55, still alive, and with musical memory intact, very few songs will make you miss your teenage and young adult years like this song. RIP Nicolette. 💔
I was 19 on an aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean Sea and when this first hit the ship 10.000 sailor’s stopped in their tracks, It was beautiful then and always will be
Good tune indeed, but I've got to ask; why would Ike have more than double its embarked complement? You must be including the crews of all the escorts? Now I'm picturing all the 1MCs of all the frigates, destroyers & auxiliaries tied in with Ike's & playing this tune- that would be wicked awesome!
Folk like to stereotype. I know plenty of younger folk that like, perform and know good music....regardless of the decade it comes out. It's not all black and white, for sure. 68 here.
My last g/f Heidi passed away from the same thing at 45. She was a drinker and hit the bottle hard after her dad passed. I miss her most out of anyone who I've been romantically involved with.
THE STRINGS, THE FLUTE, THE SAX, AND OF COURSE HER VOICE JUST SAYS IT ALL. JUST A BRILLIANT SONG. HER HAIR AND HER BEAUTIFUL GAP IN HER TEETH, MAN, SHE WAS DYNAMITE!!!!!
I was in the military when this song came out and we were pretty much sure that music had taken a wrong turn and basically sucked... Then this song came out and changed everything ❤
I’m 62. Fond memories of a time warp. This song was originally to be performed by Neil young but he let Nicolette Larson perform it pretty much as a gift. How nice of him
Neil Young did perform this song there is a video of him performing it floating out there and it is awful beyond awful thankfully she did it extremely well, singers do deserve a lot of credit and this is a perfect example
@@charlenemack7040Me too. I was preschooler but I never felt so comfortable in a time than I felt in the late 70s. It was such a warm time. I had babysitters that were teenagers at the time and I remember thinking they were the coolest people I ever knew even till this day.
As i am 59, the 1970's had the best music by far. every genre was amazing with real musicians and not some repetitive musical formula like we have now.
I remember back in 1980 when I was having a bout from moderate depression a lady friend dedicated that song to me on the radio & I happened to hear it...that moment saved me.......
Embora tenha se passado muito tempo é sempre bom ouvir ou ler boas notícias. Espero que continue bem. Algumas pessoas são anjos em nossas vidas. Quem tem um amigo encontrou um tesouro.
This song is still radiating love & positive vibes in 2024! Believe Nicolette would like Rozalla’s cover of this classic, released for Valentine’s Day 2024!
She was such a naturally beautiful woman, inside and out. Her voice was quite unique too. This song still stands the test of time and will continue so...
These songs, which I have had the immense pleasure of listening to for decades, simply transport your soul to another dimension, making these moments divine. May God bless you all immensely.
Yes indeed! Always love this song! Was in high school in Calif. and our local radio played this constantly back in the day like every hour which I don't mind at all. Like you said there is something special about this song. The instrumentation, the melody, the words, Nicolette's singing was just beautiful thru and thru!
Well said Max! I was about to post something along those same lines, but you said it as good or probably better than I ever could! Those days were great weren't they? I miss them.
True, she passed too young, nevertheless, she remains in our hearts, her songs will never die and she´ll always be remembered. Lotta Love to Nicolette Larson!
Better songs, better musicians, better times... 😢 Missing all that... the pure, authentic feeling of the 70s... human beings with real faces and real talent. ❤
I’m 39 and I just know how to recognize timeless music unlike so many of my peers and people older or younger than me can’t relate to these timeless nostalgic classic songs.The 80’s and 90’s have a lot of hits also and from time to time I hear some in these 2000’s
The sound was so good. Better equipment, better musicians, real singers with no autotune artificiality. Im so lucky i was a kid in the 70's. Total gold💛
What a beautiful voice, and beautiful lady. Her hair was her crowning glory too. Just stunning. R.I.P. Nicolette Larson thanks for the music and beauty you brought to the world ..❤❤❤🎵🎶🎧🎤🎹
Neil Young wrote and was the first to record Lotta Love. Nicolette Larson listened to a cassette Young had recorded the song, and she complimented Young how much she loved the song. He told her to keep the tape and the song was hers to cover. The rest is musical history.
I grew up listening to this song since I a teenager. Now that I am 57th years old I still enjoy this song even more. This song brings back so many memories of my youth. It is truly sad she is no longer with us. She had such a beautiful voice.
Right on !...I was a big pharma rep traveling from Iowa back to Illinois when I first heard this great song in 78' and it has always continued to be a favorite ! db
That sax just adds a powerful movement to a wonderful song by extremely talented singer who left us far to soon. What a complete group of talented artists. This song never gets old
@@raccoon874 that definitely adds to the background music. I guess that's how you would say it. It's a great compliment to the song might be a better way to say it.
THIS GIRL HAD SUCH A NATURAL GIFT . PERFECT COMBO OF TIMBRE AND GRIT TO HER BEAUTIFUL VOICE ...SHE DIED WAY WAY TOO YOUNG . SHE AT LEAST IS CAPTURED IN ALL HER GLORY IN THIS BEAUTIFUL POP TUNE FROM THE 1970'S .KIND OF IN LOVE WITH HER VOICE AND EARTHY GOOD LOOKS AS WELL. TED TEMPLETON IS ALSO A GREAT PRODUCER AND THE GREAT MUSICIANS WHO PLAYED ON THIS TIMELESS HIT SHOULDN'T BE OVERLOOKED EITHER ...THIS IS PURE 1970'S GOLD ....THANK YOU NEIL YOUNG FOR WRITING THIS GREAT SONG AND ALLOWING NICOLETTE TO RECORD THIS ....HER VERSION WILL ALWAYS BE ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS ...SO GLAD THIS PRE MTV VIDEO EXIST ...
Coming home from the hospital after my beautiful mom had passed, I sat dazed talking and listening to music with my kids. This special song was randomly playing repeatedly , we didn’t know why , but we fell in love with it and sweet Nicolette. Gone far too soon but in paradise. Love and miss you Mom , so very much ❤
This song, and everything about it, is a masterpiece - Nicolette's voice, her sexiness, the horns that jump in at exactly the right moment! You can tell a song is great, when you never get tired of listening to it. Certainly the case here..... As soon as I hear those horns, it takes me instantly back to the late 70s, when I was in college. I'm still enjoying my life now, but those were good times. For the young people out there, sorry, but we grew up with the best music. No doubt about it. Our bad years were still far better than your good years!
Always liked this song. Reminds me of when my family moved to Long Island from NYC in Feb 1979. It was getting a lot of airplay at that time. I didn't know she had passed. RIP Nicolette
RIP Nicolette Larson, married session drummer RUSS KUNKEL in 1990 and had one daughter, Elsie Mae Larson Kunkel. Nicolette was also a Maid Of Honor in Valerie Bertinelli/ Eddie Van Halen's wedding in 1981. She passed away in 1997 from a brain bleed.
Man! What's up? I've been playing this song over and over again the last weeks, after losing track of it the last three decades; It came back in my life big time!

And it's gonna take a lot of love for me personally as well to watch all the sadness unfolding the coming years I feel. Lots of love to y'all!
I would always seem to hear this song during very bad thunderstorms and it was cool as a kid to watch the dark clouds and streaks of lightning as it was playing. Still brings back the memory.
She really was beautiful & this song fit her perfectly. Neil Young should be proud. This really does take me back to those days. May you RIP Nicolette.
That sax, though. Some of the best I've ever heard. You remember that hook and tone the rest of your life. His name was Andrew Love. Sounds so 1970s and yet timeless.
For anyone who was in their "Youth" when this song was on the charts you know exactly what was goin' on- God Bless You Nicolette for bringing so much Joy and Happiness to all of our Lives :)
The lyrics of this song are more relevant today than ever! Wish this type of music was played more often. So uplifting and inspiring! Remembering Nicolette Larson and her lovely interpretation of this song!!
I am 53 years old... my mommy just turned 76, my father just turned 77....this is ALL of our favorite song.....we were so severely upset when we found out she passed!!! I am THRILLED that I got to know her music!!! What a beautiful woman, what a beautiful soul, and WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VOICE!!!!
@@kristivaught2511 @tarst etc COME ON NOW DONT BE A DIP SHITTTT WHY YOU WORRIED ABOUT HER CALLING HER MOTHER MOMMY IS IT BECAUSE YOU CANT 🤔BE NICE OR SHUT UP ‼️ LIKE THE SAYING...,...DONT SAY ANYTHING IF YOU HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY 😁
What a dynamite song sung by a beautiful lady. The opening sax, flute and sax at the bridge, and her voice just gives me goosebumps and such a good feeling. How I love this song! ❤️ RIP sweetheart. 🙏😢💔
i listen to a variety of music. mainly 60s to early 90s. most of my time on my 70's playlist of about 150 faves from that decade. this is probably easily the most played. it never gets old. takes me back to those wonderful summers of youth. a timeless classic. RIP Nicolette
25 years later it's still a crushing blow after hearing that Nicolette passed away at just 45 years of age. This is one of those song that's stands out today. I remember late 1978 like yesterday. Nicolette looks so happy here (of course anyone would be if their song was a national hit)
The quintessential sound of 1978. What a great song and it takes me home to those amazing 1970s. Nicoleete, you were so talented and so beautiful. You will never be forgotten!!!
I’m an old guy. This is just one of hundreds of great pieces of music from my younger memories. Music was such a great thing back then. She was great! I had a huge crush on her roommate, Linda Ronstadt.
Just an amazing rendition! From the raspy soulful voice of Nicole, to the impeccable flute to the saxophone. This is one of the top tunes of the 70s. So was so beautiful too!

Marc Jacobs (continued) I’m 50 now . My son is grow 34. I sit tell my hubby. 35 yrs went fast. Before I know my grandsons will be 34.. don’t blink.
Songs like this remind me of long summer days with no responsibilities. Before all the adulting started.
You nailed it!
Yeah 🎉
Fuck a bunch of adulting LOL
I’m 67 and I didn’t have responsibilities. Our music was fantastic and after 35 years of working I’m retired
Yes, it brings back GOOD and wistful memories!⭐❤❤👍
If you happen to be over 55, still alive, and with musical memory intact, very few songs will make you miss your teenage and young adult years like this song. RIP Nicolette. 💔
53, remember ❤️
Im 61, I do remember her and sad to say I never got to see her in live concert form. Such a BEAUTIFUL person inside and out.
@@user-lu1xp4ze8w I'm 56. I remember her. Just bought her LP.
Amen to that. It is forever!!! I love her!!
I'm 71 still going strong and loving it
I was 19 on an aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean Sea and when this first hit the ship 10.000 sailor’s stopped in their tracks, It was beautiful then and always will be
Good tune indeed, but I've got to ask; why would Ike have more than double its embarked complement? You must be including the crews of all the escorts? Now I'm picturing all the 1MCs of all the frigates, destroyers & auxiliaries tied in with Ike's & playing this tune- that would be wicked awesome!
I was stationed at Schofield Barracks Hawaii when I 1st heard it...
I was a squid too. Thanks for your service and sacrifices, shipmate!
humm...19 and you decided NOT to think with your own brain. Hope you changed.
Folk like to stereotype. I know plenty of younger folk that like, perform and know good music....regardless of the decade it comes out. It's not all black and white, for sure. 68 here.
Those of us blessed to experience the 70s doesn’t this song just take you back?
It most certainly does deacon!!!
I had forgotten how beautiful she was/is, and that hair. Just awesome. I just found out that she had died. I am sure she is missed. 😢
Oh yeah 😂
素晴らしい曲✨当時からこれからもずっと大好き💖ニコレットありがとう💐RIP😭70年代から80年前半の曲と出会えて、本当に幸せでした✨
She passed away at 45 from liver failure. That's so awful. What a beautiful and talented lady.
Yup, sad. Chronic overuse of Tylenol and Valium
Oh wow I didn’t know that
My last g/f Heidi passed away from the same thing at 45. She was a drinker and hit the bottle hard after her dad passed. I miss her most out of anyone who I've been romantically involved with.
@@CodeBleu724sorry man.i lost my ex gf a year and a half ago, to alcohol. It's horrible. Hope you heal man.
Great mistake that Neil Young didn't continue co-operation with this talented and beautiful vocalist.
Another example of why the 1970s were the best decade in the history of American pop music.
Best decade in the history of America. Period. And quite possibly the best in all human history. YOU'RE Lucky ppl
Best decade for everything!😅
No other decade compares.
80's is pretty awesome too. 2 great decades that may never be surpassed. Loads of remakes and not much good original music in past 30 years
not only American please with great respect to American pop music
Whose listening to this gem still in 2024⁉️❤️❤️ Growing up in the 70s and 80s……We have the best music‼️❤️🙌🏼
👍
What a great Song,ITS a Diamond!!!! ❤
Love and peace from Istanbul -Türkiye🇹🇷 to all People WHO listen this ❤

I'm a 60 year old man and this song still brings tears to my eyes. Love This song.
I forgot all about this girl. Memories!
I'm 54, I was 11 years old in 1978 when this song came out.
Me too, except I'm 51. So glad to have grown up with this music.
Amen to that from a 55 year old man .
ADORO essa música!!QUE saudade da Nicolette Larson, que se foi bem jovem infelizmente.!!😪

An all time favorite!
She was a beautiful soul
Yes, she was gorgeous!
The '70s cool - it wasn't all cringe - is so awesome in this video.
Every time I hear this it takes me back to many fantastic memories of being young and carefree. I’m now 67. RIP Nicolette.
65…man are you right
Awesome ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm 48 & clearly remember hearing it on the radio in my mom & dad's Cutlass Supreme. Instant flash back to better times

God needed her for the Choir of Angels.
I wish I was back in 1978... Music was great. Just waiting for songs to come on the radio.
Me too

This song by Nicolette Larson is one of my favorites. A timeles classic.
If this song doesn't take you back to the 70's....then nothing will.
Com certeza! 😅😅
I've never seen anyone look so happy singing a song. We lost her way too early.
That's my view too,a beautiful moment in time
She looked Soooo Happy That For The First Time In Many,Many,Many Years I Felt Some Happiness 😊 ❤😇🙏🏼🌞
Can we wave in magic wand and go back to the way it used to be in the 70s? I wish.
I grew up with this song

Hell yeah remember this song back in 78 , I was in elementary school , had a crush on my teacher , Mrs Ramos . LoL .
Most songs from those times had something magical!
She left us too young too soon. Small in stature but a giant in talent and charisma. R.I.P.
This song never gets old. Wonderful singer. She left us too soon .
Yes indeed
1997. & we still miss you
True, she passed too young, nevertheless, she remains in our hearts, her songs will never die and she´ll always be remembered. Lotta Love to Nicolette Larson!
YESSSS AMEN TO THAT
No bad words, just good music. People nowadays have no clue
Better songs, better musicians, better times... 😢 Missing all that... the pure, authentic feeling of the 70s... human beings with real faces and real talent. ❤
You totally hit the mark on that…… I so miss that time in my life
I have the privilege of being born in the early sixties and lived the passage of so glamorous times.

I'm over forty can still sing this song. In many voices Spanish & English.
Amen to that !!
I was 11 years old in 1978 when this song came out.

Brings back fond memories of a lost love and I start crying like a lost child.

RIP Nicolette Larson, married session drummer RUSS KUNKEL in 1990 and had one daughter, Elsie Mae Larson Kunkel. Nicolette was also a Maid Of Honor in Valerie Bertinelli/ Eddie Van Halen's wedding in 1981. She passed away in 1997 from a brain bleed.
😭
thanks for the history Rhonda
That's sad for some great musicians.
😭
Man! What's up? I've been playing this song over and over again the last weeks, after losing track of it the last three decades; It came back in my life big time!
And now I see it uploaded everywhere and recommended to me all the time.
I guess it's gonna take a lot of love to get out of this duality thinking dominated, evil current times!
And it's gonna take a lot of love for me personally as well to watch all the sadness unfolding the coming years I feel.
Lots of love to y'all!
She has a wonderful, powerful voice. Reminds me of being 16 young and free. This era of music is the best and wish it could be composed today.
I would always seem to hear this song during very bad thunderstorms and it was cool as a kid to watch the dark clouds and streaks of lightning as it was playing. Still brings back the memory.
My favorite 70's song ever! I remember this song play on all the major radio stations 💗 RIP Nicolette Larson
I grew up with this song. Her voice is so beautiful, powerful, soulful and haunting.
Me too!
A beautiful woman with a beautiful voice and incredibly beautiful song !
She really was beautiful & this song fit her perfectly. Neil Young should be proud.
This really does take me back to those days. May you RIP Nicolette.
That sax, though. Some of the best I've ever heard. You remember that hook and tone the rest of your life. His name was Andrew Love. Sounds so 1970s and yet timeless.
For anyone who was in their "Youth" when this song was on the charts you know exactly what was goin' on-
God Bless You Nicolette for bringing so much Joy and Happiness to all of our Lives :)
I'm 65 we grew up in the most perfect chapter of this world
This is one of the smoothest songs I've ever heard. Very relaxing to just lay back and listen to this deep into the night.
Written by Neil Young
I love how she connects to her band perfectly. They play as they are the best of their time
Still hum this to myself once in a while. Nicolette..What a voice. Singing with the Angels now
I got to play this song on the air back when it hit the charts. My gosh, it's been that long...what a beautiful song. Thank you, Nicolette .
The lyrics of this song are more relevant today than ever! Wish this type of music was played more often. So uplifting and inspiring! Remembering Nicolette Larson and her lovely interpretation of this song!!
Thank you so much, Nicolette, for this powerfully beautiful and special song. R.I.P. 💖
Love this song especially the instrumental in the background Beautiful!!!
I am 53 years old... my mommy just turned 76, my father just turned 77....this is ALL of our favorite song.....we were so severely upset when we found out she passed!!! I am THRILLED that I got to know her music!!! What a beautiful woman, what a beautiful soul, and WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VOICE!!!!
YOU AND I ARE VERY CLOSE IN AGE AND OUR PARENTS BUT MY MOMMY IS 74❤❤❤
You being a 53 year old calling your mother mommy is probably why you have inappropriate responses to a complete and total stranger dying.

@tarst etc
COME ON NOW DONT BE A DIP SHITTTT WHY YOU WORRIED ABOUT HER CALLING HER MOTHER MOMMY IS IT BECAUSE YOU CANT 🤔BE NICE OR SHUT UP ‼️
LIKE THE SAYING...,...DONT SAY ANYTHING IF YOU HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY 😁
This song transports me back in time. I always loved this song, such a classic.
I'll be 70 this year. I love this song forever
My God...Her hair is so long and glorious! And her voice and attitude are so uplifting!
Yes 👍 agree
🎯 ooh totally agree...
Would love to have her hair 😍
Yes, and when she had a make over, I thought it took away from her natural beauty!
She is rocking everything.
The only other singer I saw with long hair like that was Crystal Gayle.
The level of power and crystal clear clarity is outstanding. Hard to find now or then.
No naked people, no bad words. Only music, musicality and talent.
No one grabbing their crotch either.
Never get tired of this classic.
When music was musical. Inspired by love....not hubris.
Bingo!
😂
What a dynamite song sung by a beautiful lady. The opening sax, flute and sax at the bridge, and her voice just gives me goosebumps and such a good feeling. How I love this song! ❤️ RIP sweetheart. 🙏😢💔
Those that grew up in the 70s are the last generation to know what truly good music is!
This song reminds me of long time teenage gf from Depew NY Jill Nowak ! Any relation ? Always wonder how she is ❤
No make-up, modest clothing, sincerity, real femininity, excellent singing, beautiful variety of wind instruments...how refreshing!
So observant!
So much natural beauty.
The way the LORD intended.
and best of all...no autotune.
Agree! naturally beautiful and authentic
RIP Nicolette! What a great song, it holds up over all these years!
i listen to a variety of music. mainly 60s to early 90s. most of my time on my 70's playlist of about 150 faves from that decade. this is probably easily the most played. it never gets old. takes me back to those wonderful summers of youth. a timeless classic. RIP Nicolette
Amazing song outta the 70's!!!!!!!
In 1982 I loved loved loved this song! I was working at Seattle Childrens Hospital when I heard she passed away. RIP Nicolette! God bless you!
1970’s - best decade of music ever!!❤❤
25 years later it's still a crushing blow after hearing that Nicolette passed away at just 45 years of age. This is one of those song that's stands out today. I remember late 1978 like yesterday. Nicolette looks so happy here (of course anyone would be if their song was a national hit)
The saxophone is a very underrated instrument!
I love this era!
The quintessential sound of 1978. What a great song and it takes me home to those amazing 1970s. Nicoleete, you were so talented and so beautiful. You will never be forgotten!!!
I'm 55 now and still sounds so good and even appreciate it more than when I first heard it in my mid teens.
@ Roger…. I vividly recall this from ‘78…. I was only 8, but some things you never forget! 😉
as well am i thank you
I feel that way too! Also with the song “Only The Lonely” by The Motels. It just hits different as a grown up
1978.....my first year on high school, me and my friends we were fan of nicolette larson and this song is a gift for me, thank you ❤
When I was been bus,heard this song as a 6th grader. Time flies
How did you watch porn back then? Sneak into adult theaters or just magazines?
1979 I graduated from high school and remember this tune real well.
Nothing like a high school dances and making out at the submarine races. LOL best times of my life.
@@StopFear bro what typa question is that 💀
This Song Is in my ❤️ since 1978...
Love moments of my 20s..
C from Rome ..
Got a lot a love !!!
I’m an old guy. This is just one of hundreds of great pieces of music from my younger memories. Music was such a great thing back then. She was great! I had a huge crush on her roommate, Linda Ronstadt.
One of the most beautiful songs in the world
in one of the most beautiful voices in the universe.
Enchanting!
Just an amazing rendition! From the raspy soulful voice of Nicole, to the impeccable flute to the saxophone. This is one of the top tunes of the 70s. So was so beautiful too!
Great song. May Nicolette rest in peace, God Bless her!
