GREG LAKE - Love You Too Much (Live)
Well here you are, direct from the horses mouth Greg wrote the song with Mr D. However, I have quoted the following how he appeared to have come by the track :
"I wanted to do a Bob Dylan song on an album because I respect him a lot as a writer and as a performer, and I had a friend who used to be his tour manager," Greg explained. "I didn't want to do one of the regular songs of Bob's that people cover. I wanted to see if I could get something unusual to sing, maybe something that he had not released."
"He gave me a half-finished song, and he said, 'If you can finish it, then that might be the best solution,' so that's what happened."
Greg Lake first released the song with amended lyrics on his album "Greg" (1981), and also on a 7" single, below. Wow! it has all the hallmarks of 'ELP'.
