Release
edit"Love Is Easy" is the third track on the 1974 Badfinger album. It was previously released in October 1973 as a single in Britain (as well as in Germany, New Zealand, South Africa and Uruguay), backed with another album track, the Mike Gibbins-written "My Heart Goes Out". It was a commercial failure, however, not charting in the UK. A second single from Badfinger, "I Miss You," was released in America and Japan, but that single still did not garner any commercial appeal.
A live version of the song also appeared on the live album BBC in Concert 1972–1973.
Reception
editStephen Thomas Erlewine, a critic from the company AllMusic, said in his review of the Badfinger album that "Love Is Easy" "has a pleasing pop hook."[1]
