What a great version of this song.

Nazareth - Love Hurts (with Munich Philharmonic Orchestra)


"Love Hurts" was written and composed by Boudleaux Bryant and first recorded by The Everly Brothers in July 1960 and recorded by Roy Orbison and many others but Nazareth had the biggest hit with it.
 
But they also utterly ruined that song. As Emmylou Harris (who sang harmonies on the BEST version of, the one by Gram Parsons) said, "yeah, love hurts, but it's not terminal!

Sorry, I just hate Nazareth's overly pained vocals on that one- sorta like the obnoxious Michael Bolton approach, or the way Eddie Vedder sounds at his worst histronic wailing.
