The Sound (LA), 4/13/09: 1975

Nazareth takes Gram Parsons to the Top 10. Love Hurts.

(This may be from the wrong year depending on what rule they're using--it entered the charts on January 3, so it was probably out in '75 but didn't chart til the following year.)

I adore this version (thanks to my K-Tel Dynomite LP, which included a ~two minute edit of Love Hurts), but it still cannot touch the Everly Brothers' original.

Indeed--I stand corrected. Always thought Gram Parsons wrote that one--how could I have missed the Everlys?

actually, I think the Bryants wrote it, no?  But the Everlys recorded it first and then many many covers followed.
