"Let My Love Open the Door" is a song written and performed by Pete Townshend from his 1980 album ''Empty Glass''. It reached the top ten in the United States in that same year, reaching number nine.〔(Rolling Stone )〕〔(Rolling Stone )〕 ==Background== Although Townshend is a devotee to the religious guru Meher Baba, he claimed in the liner notes of his ''Anthology'' CD that "Jesus sings" on the track.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=8177 )〕 "Let My Love Open the Door" was released as the second single from ''Empty Glass'' in Britain, where it was backed with the non-album tracks "Classified" and "Greyhound Girl." The song was a minor British hit, reaching #46.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.officialcharts.com/artist/_/pete%20townshend/ )〕 The song saw more success when it was released as the debut single from ''Empty Glass'' in America, where the song reached #9.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.billboard.com/artist/328755/pete-townshend/chart?f=379 )〕 It was Pete Townshend's only solo American Top 10 hit, but it charted as high as any single by The Who released in the United States. The Who's song, also written by Townshend, "I Can See For Miles", also hit #9. Initially, Townshend's manager despised the track (due to it "not sounding like Townshend") and wanted it to be removed from ''Empty Glass.''〔 However, upon the song's chart success, his manager called to apologize. Despite the song's critical and commercial success, Pete Townshend did not consider it one of his best songs. He told ''Rolling Stone'' in an interview that the "Let My Love Open the Door" was "just a ditty," also claiming that he preferred his minor US hit "A Little Is Enough" from the same album.〔 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「Let My Love Open the Door」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
