Love Me Again is an album by the American musician Rita Coolidge, released in 1978 through A&M Records. "You" was released as the first single. It was previously recorded by Australian recording artist Marcia Hines. Coolidge's version, in contrast to Hines', is more mellow in tone and it became a Top 40 hit in both the United States and Canada during the summer of 1978. Despite the song having previously hit in Australia, Coolidge's version did not chart there. The title track "Love Me Again" was released as a single and then covered and appeared as a single for Patti Austin in 1980.

Critical reception

The Globe and Mail wrote that Coolidge "is at her most effective when the beat is slow and she gets plenty of time to think... 'Slow Dancer', with Booker T. in the background, is the best cut on the album, and a tedious version of 'Bye Bye Love' is the worst." ^[1]
