Live/Living Songs: I Wouldn’t Want to Live If You Didn’t Love Me

Ah, that magical time of year…turn the A/C on at 4 and the furnace on at 6. Not just here, either: I was listening to the Chicago weather radio and they were having severe weather with a forecast of snow showers later in the evening. Life in the springtime! Speaking of life, let’s live with more songs with “live” in the title. Here’s today’s song. I Wouldn’t Want to Live If You Didn’t Love Me - Don Williams Sometimes it’s hard to remember these songs are that old. This was country crooner Don Williams’ first #1 song…in 1974. Dang, that was fifty years ago! Oh, I remember first hearing that smooth, mellow voice of his. I fell in love immediately. Not as good as Jim Reeves, but darn close. Here’s a little trivia for you: Williams started out in a folk group, the Pozo-Seco Singers. From there he moved to country, becoming one of the biggest stars of the 70s and 80s. Enjoy one of the sweetest voices in country music. (PS: Linda? Maybe. It doesn’t have steel guitar until the fade-out. ) I Wouldn’t Want to Live If You Didn’t Love Me Written by Al Turney Recorded by Don Williams From Don Williams Vol. III, 1974 Granted, sometimes maybe I do:
