Nicolette Larson Tribute

Nicolette Larson: 1952 - 1997

Nicolette Larson is best remembered for her 1979 cover of Neil Young's "Lotta Love". Sadly, Larson died in 1997 at the age of 45 after suffering a cerebral edema.

Last August, during the Neil Young's Nashville Ryman concerts, "he referred repeatedly to the late singer Nicolette Larson" among the personal losses Young has experienced.

Now, Rhino Records is releasing a Tribute to Nicolette Larson.

The "Lotta Love Concert," a tribute to late vocalist Nicolette Larson was staged Feb. 21-22, 1998, at the Santa Monica, CA Civic Auditorium.

The event featured performances from Dan Fogelberg, Joe Walsh, Jackson Browne, Emmylou Harris, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Jimmy Buffet, Carole King, Linda Ronstadt and Little Feat with Bonnie Raitt, a number of whom Larson recorded with in her lifetime.
