Nicolette Larson Covers 'Lotta Love' on YouTube
Nicolette Larson
Nicolette Larson's 1979 cover of Neil Young's "Lotta Love" was a #1 hit and launched her musical career.
Regarding the song "Lotta Love", she said "I got that song off a tape I found lying on the floor of Neil's car. I popped it in the tape player and commented on what a great song it was. Neil said: 'You want it? It's yours.' " Larson sang much of the backing vocals on Neil Young's "Comes a Time" and "Harvest" albums, and duets on the song "Motorcycle Mama". Sadly, Larson died at the age of 45 in 1997.

is a nice tribute to Nicolette featuring Crosby, Stills & Nash on "In My Life" and "Southern Cross", Jackson Browne on "Running on Empty" and Emmylou Harris on "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues". From the CD's liner notes: "Neil Young, urged by Emmylou and her producer-husband, Brian Ahern, ambled down Malibu's Broad Beach to play some tunes for Linda and found her harmonizing with Nicolette. So were born the Bullets on American Stars'n Bars."
Also, from the liner notes: "Neil Young sent a bouquet of roses as big as the audience. He could only attend in spirit on the group encore of 'Lotta Love'".
More on the Nicolette Larson Tribute: The "Lotta Love Concert", Feb. 21-22, 1998, at the Santa Monica, CA Civic Auditorium. Also, Nicolette Larson's "Lotta Love" & Neil Young.
And congratulations to Roel and Roos on their marriage!
It does take a lotta love.
