"Echoes of Love" is a song by the American rock band The Doobie Brothers. The song was written by band member Patrick Simmons in collaboration with Willie Mitchell and Earl Randle. This song served as the second single from their seventh studio album Livin' on the Fault Line.
Simmons had originally intended the song for Al Green, with whom both Mitchell and Randle had worked in the past. After the three of them completed the track, Green opted not to use it, resulting in Simmons keeping it for the Doobies' next album.[1]
Cash Box said that "an unusual, synthesized introduction instantly lends a warm feeling" and that it contains "deep layers of vocal harmony."[2] Record World said that the song "emphasizes synthesizer work and vocal harmonies, and bears [the Doobie Brothers'] melodic trademarks."[3]
