Love and Affection is a song by Joan Armatrading. Her fourth single, and her third for A&M Records, it was her first chart success. It reached the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart in November 1976, peaking at #10. One of her best known recordings, it has been described as a "deceptively feisty ballad... an instant classic."[1] It also appeared on her eponymous third album and has twice been used as the title track of compilation albums, for 1999's Love and Affection:The Best of Joan Armatrading and 2003's Love and Affection:Classics 1975-1983.
