Love the One You're With

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Love the One You're With" is a 1970 single by folk rocker Stephen Stills. The first release off his self-titled solo album, it rose to the top ten of the pop singles chart.

Several acts have since covered it including live versions by Aretha Franklin (from her Live at Fillmore West album), The Jackson 5, and Luther Vandross. Bucks Fizz covered the single in 1986 reaching UK #47. Will Young also recorded a version for his second album, Friday's Child. The most notable cover, however, came from The Isley Brothers, whose unique gospel-driven cover of the song sent it to the charts again reaching number three R&B and number eighteen pop giving the group their fifth Top 40 pop single. In 2006, Dennis Rollins produced a further cover on the album "Big Night Out!".
