Template:Music ratings Love, Peace and Happiness is an album by soul artists The Chambers Brothers, released in 1969.[1][2]

The album was released as a double-LP, half studio recordings and half live recordings. The live material was recorded at Bill Graham's Fillmore East.[3]

In "Love, Peace and Happiness", the phrase "That's one small step for a man, a giant leap for mankind" is paraphrased as, "It's a small step for man, but it's a giant leap for all mankind". The song peaked at No. 96 on the Billboard Hot 100.[4] It was covered by Carlos Santana and The Isley Brothers on 2017's Power of Peace.[5]

Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that "the live sides are better, with stronger material, including 'I Can't Turn You Loose' and 'People Get Ready'."[6] Robert Christgau, who had briefly attended the concert at which the live side was recorded, wrote that "now that the evidence is in I know I did the right thing," and called the album "shameful excess."[7]

Reviewing a 2016 reissue, the Lincolnshire Echo called the album "life-enhancing," and praised the "punchy live set."[8]
