"Love, Peace and Happiness" is a 1970 song by American psychedelic soul band, the Chambers Brothers. It appeared on the album of the same name, and was a hit in 1970.
The single was released on Columbia (4-45088), backed with a Spyder Turner composition, "If You Want Me To".[1] It was released in the UK on Direction (No. 58-4846).[2] Following the formula of their earlier hit, "Time Has Come Today" with its longer album version and the shorter single version, "Love Peace And Happiness" did the same.[3]
It peaked in the US at number 96 in February 1970.[4]
In Dewey Starbuck's Secret of the Skulls: Eyes of Time, Volume 2, the song was referred to as having cool words and great rhythm.[5]
The song is commonly interpolated by members of the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) to express passion for their respective organizations. Most prominently, members of Alpha Phi Alpha sing the words "All of my love, my peace and happiness, I'm gonna give it to Alpha" to the popular first verse.
