If I Could Only Win Your Love

Charlie and Ira Louvin wrote "If I Could Only Win Your Love" and recorded it in August 1958; it is track two of Country Love Ballads, 2:19, produced by Ken Nelson for Capitol. It was never issued as a single by the Louvins and did not chart, and Grunge describes it as an unrequited love ballad. We found no statement from them on its subject. The Topic channel upload is label audio, which we take to be the original studio recording; the page does not say which reissue it comes from.

The song first charted in 1975 through Emmylou Harris. Her version, with Herb Pedersen on banjo and counter-vocal, was the second single from Pieces of the Sky (Reprise, produced by Brian Ahern), released in June 1975 with "Queen of the Silver Dollar" on the B-side at 2:36; it reached number 4 on the US country chart, 58 on the Hot 100 and number 1 on the RPM country chart in Canada, her first solo hit. The band listed was Ray Pohlman on bass, Ron Tutt on drums, James Burton on guitar and Glen Hardin on piano. Charlie Louvin sang it with Harris at the Americana Music Festival in 2010.
