Booker T Jones, David Lasley, Dennis Belfield, Jay Graydon, Mike Baird, Rita Coolidge, Steve Forman, The Waters

Love Me Again is a 1978 album by Rita Coolidge and was released on the A&M Records label. “You” was released as the first single. It was previously recorded by Australian recording artist Marcia Hines. Coolidge’s version, in contrast to Hines’, is more mellow in tone and it became a Top 40 hit in both the United States and Canada during the summer of 1978. Despite the song having previously hit in Australia, Coolidge’s version did not chart there. The title track “Love Me Again” was released as a single and then covered and appeared as a single for Patti Austin in 1980.
