"Loving Arms" is a song written by Tom Jans and first recorded and released by Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge as a duet in 1973.[1]

It was later covered by Dobie Gray and by Elvis Presley in 1974.

History

"Loving Arms" was written by Tom Jans.[2] Jans recorded the song himself and released his version on his 1974 self-titled album.[3]

Dobie Gray's version of the song peaked at number 61 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week of October 6, 1973.[4][4]

Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge's version was released as a single in late 1973, and became a minor Billboard Hot 100 hit in the spring of 1974.[5][7] The song first appeared on their 1973 duet album Full Moon.

Elvis Presley's version was first released on his 1974 album Good Times. In 1975, it was included as a B-side on some editions of his "My Boy" single. In 1981, it appeared on Presley's posthumous album Guitar Man and was released as the second single from it, with "You Asked Me To" on side B.[6] In the UK, the song spent 6 weeks on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 47 for the week of April 14.[9] In the United States, the single charted as a double A-side ("Lovin' Arms"/"You Asked Me To") on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart, peaking at number 8 on the week of June 20. In March 1977 the song turned up in an episode of the TV show Starsky and Hutch (Season 2, "Long Walk Down a Short Dirt Road") when David Soul as "Hutch" performed it with guest star Lynn Anderson in the show's tag.

In total, the song has been covered over 50 times.[2] Other notable covers include ones by Etta James[2] and The Dixie Chicks.[4] French singer and actor Johnny Hallyday covered it in French (under the title "J'ai pleuré sur ma guitare") on his 17th studio album Je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime (1974).[7]
