Nicolette Larson
July 17, 1952 – December 16, 1997
Nicolette Larson was a country and pop singer who is perhaps best remembered for her 1978 hit single, “Lotta Love,” a cover of the Neil Young song. Larson’s angelic voice lead to numerous vocal sessions over the years. She can be heard singing back-up on records by the likes of Commander Cody, Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell, Linda Ronstadt, Neil Young and the Doobie Brothers. In 1978, Larson released her debut album, Nicolette, which prompted Rolling Stone magazine to cite her as the best female vocalist of 1978. Larson’s last hit single was a country one, 1985’s duet with Steve Wariner, on “That’s How You Know When Love is Right.” Later vocal credits include records by Dolly Parton, Weird Al Yankovic, and Jimmy Buffett. Nicolette Larson was 45 when she died on December 16, 1997 from complications of cerebral edema.
