Let's Love is an album by jazz singer Peggy Lee that was released in 1974. It was her first for Atlantic Records after many years with Capitol. The title track was written, arranged, produced by Paul McCartney. ^[1]

This title song came about when Peggy Lee was in London performing at the Royal Albert Hall in 1974. She invited Paul McCartney and his wife Linda to dinner at The Dorchester. McCartney brought a gift for Lee which was a song he had written with Linda called "Let's Love". Arrangements were made for the song to be recorded in June 1974 at the Record Plant in Los Angeles with McCartney producing. ^[2]
