 LET YOUR LOVE FLOW
Written by Larry Williams,
The Bellamy Brothers recording of "Let Your Love Flow" was a #1 Pop hit in the US in 1976. That version was so big in Germany that it was soon followed by a German adaptation by Jürgen Drews [called "Ein Bett Im Kornfeld"] and then a satire version resulting in three versions of the same song charting simultaneously in Germany. "Let Your Love Flow" has received BMI’s Five Million Performance award and is ranked #68 on BMI’s Top 100 Songs Of The Century. Legendary artists such as Ray Charles, Loretta Lynn, Tom Jones, Ziggy Marley and Sister Hazel have all covered the song in many styles.
