With Love is a studio album by Rosemary Clooney. It was released in 1980 on Concord Records. Unlike many of her Concord albums, it mixes contemporary pop (from writers like Billy Joel, Melissa Manchester and Marvin Hamlisch) with traditional pop standards. On LP, the A side featured four contemporary pop songs, while the B side was a more typical jazz and cabaret set featuring a bossa nova, two Broadway theater standards, and two 1940s pop standards.
