Anne Murray / Glen Campbell is an album by American singer Glen Campbell and the sixth studio album by Canadian singer Anne Murray, released in 1971 (see 1971 in music). The album contained both new material, and duet versions of songs each artist had recorded individually (Campbell's "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" and Murray's "Bring Back the Love"), as well as an early version of "You're Easy to Love", which later became a hit for Hank Snow, the standard "Canadian Sunset", and Brotherhood of Man's 1970 hit "United We Stand".
The first single released from the album was a medley of "By The Time I get to Phoenix" (sung by Campbell) and "I Say a Little Prayer" (sung by Murray). The album peaked at No.12 on the Canadian RPM album chart on 18 March 1972.
