"Love Her" is a song written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil which was first a song for the American singing duo The Everly Brothers in 1963 as the b-side to "The Girl Sang the Blues" and was later recorded and released by the American pop group The Walker Brothers as their second single in 1965.
The Walker Brother's version is notable as it is the first single the group recorded with Scott Walker as the lead singer. Previously John Walker has been the dominant vocalist. The song was produced by Nick Venet and arranged by the Phil Spector collaborator Jack Nitzsche, who gave the song a Wall of Sound treatment. "Love Her" became the group's first hit spending thirteen weeks on the UK Singles Chart and peaking at #20 in June.[1]
