"For the song by Nelson, see (Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection."

Love and Affection is a song by Joan Armatrading. Her fourth single, and her third for A&M Records, it was her first chart success. It reached the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart in November 1976, peaking at #10. One of her best known recordings, it has been described as a "deceptively feisty ballad... an instant classic."
