Cancon Thursday - A Love Song

Because It's Thursday, I'm sharing a Canadian song with you today.

Today's song is a duet by two of the most beautiful voices to ever sing in Canada or any country, Anne Murray and kd lang.  I believe that the first time that they performed this song together was in 1993 as part of a Juno Awards tribute to our Snowbird songstress, Anne Murray.  There are clips of that performance on YouTube and I'd encourage you to check them out.  The quality is very poor but it's pretty adorable to see a very young kd lang in her overalls singing her heart out with Anne Murray. "A Love Song" was originally recorded in 1973 by Loggins and Messina but Anne's 1974 release of it was a BIG hit in Canada and the US. 

In 2007, Anne released a collection of songs called "Duets: Friends and Legends."  It featured Anne singing with folks like Dusty Springfield, Jann Arden, Emmylou Harris, Carole King, Shelby Lynn and, of course, kd lang.  Today I'm sharing that 2007 version of their duet for "A Love Song."

Enjoy xo
