Inspired by a phrase said at a party by Billy Preston, "Love the One Your With" is a song, according to Stephen Stills, that has been "very, very good to me." Aside from Neil Young tracks, such as "Heart of Gold," this song is indeed the biggest post CSN&Y-related recording. A suburb acoustic guitar riff and an infectious overall feel that has nonstop momentum propel a cross between upbeat folk-rock and heavy Latin stylings. Stills underpins this with some tasteful, funky steel drums, giving the track an unusual, Caribbean flavor. Lyrically, it's a simple yet effective karmic message of taking a chance on love, wherever you find it. If the harmonies on the track sound familiar, it indeed is CSN, plus Cass Elliot and others, creating a great gospel feel. The song has been used on many television commercials and films, and was also covered in great soul style by the O'Jay's in the early '70s.
