Looking Back with Love is the debut album by American musician Mike Love of the Beach Boys, released in 1981 by Boardwalk Records. [5] Produced by Curt Boettcher, the album includes a mix of covers and originals.
The lyrics to the title track were written by Love's manager, Dan Parker. [6]
" On and On and On" is a cover of an ABBA song which was itself influenced by the 1968 Beach Boys song " Do It Again".[ citation needed]
Love's cover of " Be My Baby" originates from July 1980 sessions produced by his Beach Boys bandmate and cousin Brian Wilson. [7] However, the released track features additional overdubs and production completed without Wilson, and Curt Boettcher receives the sole production credit.[ citation needed]
The Rolling Stone Album Guide called the album "notable only for its title track: an egregious 'salute' to those crazy ol' '60s that would probably make a dandy Republican campaign jingle." [4]
