"A Love Song" is a song written by Kenny Loggins and Dona Lyn George, first released by the folk-rock duo Loggins & Messina in 1973 on their album ''Full Sail''. Country artist Anne Murray covered the song later that year for her album of the same name. Released in December 1973, Murray's version became a major crossover hit early in 1974. In her native Canada, it topped all three singles charts: the overall Top Singles chart, the Country Tracks chart and the Adult Contemporary chart. In the United States, the song peaked at No. 5 on the ''Billboard magazine'' Hot Country Singles chart and just missed the Top 10 of the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, peaking at No. 12. The song fared even better there in the adult contemporary market — it became Murray's third chart-topper on ''Billboards American Hot Adult Contemporary Singles chart. (In Canada, it was her seventh No. 1 on both the country and adult contemporary charts.) This was Murray's second Loggins & Messina cover, having charted with her version of their "Danny's Song" the previous year. Later cover versions include Dar Williams, Jonathan Rayson and Kenny Loggins. ==Personnel on Loggins & Messina version== * Kenny Loggins – lead vocals, classical acoustic guitar * Jim Messina – harmony vocals, acoustic guitar, banjo * Jon Clarke – bass flute, alto flute * Al Garth – recorder * Larry Sims – bass, backing vocals * Merel Bregante – drums, backing vocals * Michael Omartian – piano * Milt Holland – shakers, triangle, congas, chocalho 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Love Song (Loggins and Messina song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
