“Lotta Love” is a song written and originally recorded by Neil Young and released on his 1978 Comes a Time album. “Lotta Love” was also covered by American singer Nicolette Larson in 1978. Larson’s version reached No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 8 on the Cash Box Top 100 in February 1979. It also hit No. 1 on the Easy Listening chart and was a hit in Australia (No. 11) and New Zealand (No. 22).

“Lotta Love” served as the lead single for Larson’s Ted Templeman-produced Nicolette album. Due to a delay in release, Comes a Time was released on the same day — in October 1978 — as Nicolette. The release of a single from the Nicolette album was held off until October 31 when it was clear Young’s version would not have a single release as an A-side (although Young’s “Lotta Love” was released as the B-side of a non-charting “Comes a Time” single).

Much as extended dance versions of hits by the Doobie Brothers — who Templeman also produced — were released, a promotional 12″ single of Larson’s “Lotta Love” was issued, with Jim Burgess performing remixing duties: this disco version differentiated from the album track and 7″ single in its pure “four on the floor” disco drum track (replacing the radio version’s “pop heartbeat” drum rhythm) and a sax solo on the bridge, replacing the 7″ single’s bridge flute solo which was shifted to an extended intro. The track did not heavily impact the club scene. Its meager length for a 12″ single — at 4:20 barely a minute longer than the 7″ — a likely deterrent. The B-side of the 7″ single was “Angels Rejoiced” featuring a harmony vocal by Herb Pedersen while on its 12″ single “Lotta Love” was backed by Larson’s rendition of “You Send Me”.
