"Love Is the Answer" is a song written by the American singer-songwriter Todd Rundgren for his band Utopia. It is the final track on their 1977 album Oops! Wrong Planet.
Although Utopia's version did not reach the music charts, a cover version by England Dan & John Ford Coley reached number ten on the Billboard Hot 100 chart,[1] and spent two weeks atop the Billboard adult contemporary chart in May 1979.[2] John Ford Coley was quoted as saying: "Of all the songs we released as singles, that was my favorite. The song first of all had a classical base, and the middle had a gospel section which I loved."[2]
