Love Is The Answer (Cover) Todd Rundgren by Foxes and Fossils 

Todd Rundgren wrote this song for chase, 40 plus years ago...but neither of them knew it! The perfect choice for the perfect voice! The production, blending, and subtle crescendo makes this so brilliant!

WOW, that vocal was amazing. She has a phenominal voice.

The whole gang did a great job on this one. Chase took it to a spiritual level.

Wow ! Wonderfully so beautifully you all brought this song again 2024. Because we all need to hear it, " Love is the answer". This world forgets . Thank you all of you. 😊

Chase absolutely kills it on this song. Sultry voice and a lot of soul. I'm a big fan of this group.

I’ve been a musician/songwriter, producer, engineer/mixer for 35 years and a huge Todd Rundgren fan as well, and I must say that this is the best version of this song I’ve ever heard. Awesome job!!

This is medicine for the soul. Simply one of the best produced songs, ever.

I listen to this almost every day.

I am a 60 year old music lover and have been all my life and it was an absolute pleasure to find F & F on you tube

Come on all ... this is probably the BEST recording from the Foxes and Fossils. Who is with me in this observation ... I cannot get enough of this recording ... GREAT!

I’ve commented on this before, but I want to comment again. This band is incredible. And, in this instance, the most incredible performance is that of Chase. It’s almost unbelievable what she is able to do worth her voice. That note she holds toward the very end is amazing. Amazing! How she can hold it for so long and stay in key and not sound like she’s straining is, well, incredible. I’m not a person of many words, and you can see I use the same words frequently, but I was so moved by this performance. I’ve found it moving every time I’ve watched, but never this much. Perhaps it’s the state of the world we’re in. I don’t know. But thank you, Chase, and all the Foxes and Fossils, for giving this fossil a shred of hope. ❤️

My husband was Todd's sound engineer back in late 70s at Utopia Sound and Video in Bearsville NY. Last ran into him in San Francisco at Mac World at Moscone Center. Todd was still living in Sausalito then, before he moved to Hawaii....what a cool sweet guy ... beautiful job with this one!!😻🤠🌵

I’m not sure people ever appreciated Todd Rundgren for the quality of his music. This is a lovely rendition!

I live this version so much, I have chosen it to be played at my funeral. To me the light of the world is Jesus and Jesus is love.

53 yr old man crying like a baby because of this. Beautiful song by Todd, superlative cover by F&F. Nice when you think of all the great covers Todd did on his Faithful album.

But that voice of hers... perfection!

Chase has such a powerful voice.

I'm a 58 year old man and this made me cry. Unbelievable performance of a song with a message that is both timeless and timely.

Damn, Chase, you give me the chills with your performance on this song.

At 2:47 watch Sammi closing her eyes and just feeling the music come to her but holding off on background vocals, but just after that she kicks and elevates the harmony to an insane level. What a voice!

Good God Chase those vocals are spine tingling. From a bottomless to a sky high vocal range!!! Are you kidding me? So soulful. Congrats foxes and Fossils.

Todd's best song and the best cover of it by far. Just superb. Thanks guys.

This should be sung everywhere in America! We need this.

Chase really shows her extreme range on this song ...beautiful !

Tim Purcell is the luckiest SOB on the planet! How in the hell can one man assemble this much AMAZING talent into one band. I'm a musician and I've started a few club bands over the years, (Chicagoland area), and while I've worked with some good musicians and singers, none came even close to this. F&F is world class all the way!

Man that girl can flat out sing !!! What a talented group of people!!!

Why aren't these guys world famous? Their singing techniques - close harmony, breath control, dynamics - are astonishing

One of the best covers, I've ever heard. As a musician, I will tell you. She sings with passion.

I find myself coming back to this song over and over. Everything about it from Chase's lead, to the harmonies, to the instrumental arrangement is just ON POINT! Sooo GOOD!

Little did Todd know he was writing this song for Chase....its hers....just the perfect voice and sound .....with great back up and arrangements...it really doesn't get any better by any group or singer..you all bring much enjoyment to us all. thank you so much for your efforts.

Todd Rundgren is a genius Chase you made this song be reborn again well done all

You tube should start like a Emmy Awards for song covers. If this cover wouldn’t be at the top of the list something would be wrong.

Chase absolutely kills this tune and the harmony is tight as hell!

Chase absolutely CRUSHES this song! I can’t stop listening! Foxes and Fossils-you are ALL unbelievably GREAT and oh, so talented!

Now that we are entering very troubling times in the world, I am listening to this almost every day. ❤

The boys can play and the girls sure can sing! Man this song takes me back to 17 yrs. old. Always on the radio. 50 yrs. has come and gone so fast, way to fast. Praise God for every breath I'm still here, to still enjoy!

I wonder if you really know how special this is? Whenever I am having a low day, I come back to it.

OK, I'll admit it. Once upon a time, Chase was "the new Fox". After hearing this rendition... Damn, Girl. You a Fox!

Chase holding the note at 4:10-4:21 brings tears!

this song brought tears to my eyes

There are covers and there are songs that are reborn. I never thought I would hear anything approaching Todd's but here it is. Thank you.

Chase's contralto voice here is freakin' awesome. Sammie, Maggie, and Chase all have different qualities in their vocal range which just makes the songs they sing so much more than 'just a cover'!

The “foxes” certainly have three distinctly different vocal styles. Chase is emerging with her powerful voice. Blend them plus the Fossils and the harmonies are world class.

Probably the most technically perfect ear candy in the F&F catalog. Tough but absolutely perfect harmony, and good god can Chase sing!

This song with Chase's magic is purely unbeatable!!!

I cannot think of a number to express how many times this is better than the garbage pouring out of the radio today. Keep up the great work Foxes and Fossils.

This song was was amazing when it was released by F & F, and it still amazes me. I can listen to this over and over again.

I remember this by England Dan and Joh Ford Coley.....great job!....so many of these songs were from the great decade of the 70's.

23K+ fan LIKE; 1.3M+ views well-earned. Top notch!! Chase's smoky vocals puts it OVER THE TOP, actually.

I think I’ve seen Todd 60 or 65 times over the years, and I’ve never seen a cover band/tribute band/just a group of honestly great musicians, do his work any greater justice.

Beautiful . Todd would be proud .

I have watched Chase sing this like 30 times now..Be(you)tiful..love it!

A huge F&F fan, this is the first time I’ve left a comment. I don’t even know where to start. Just when I think I’ve seen every video, heard every song, I’m thrilled to find one I’ve somehow missed, and this is easily up there with the best they have ever done. Tim’s skill at mixing and production is phenomenal. The way he can bring the sound of tracks performed at different times and in different places to such an perfect whole is truly amazing. I adore Sammie (I would listen to her sing her grocery list) and Maggie too, and nothing beats the harmony of the three girls together. But Chase may just have the most naturally rich voice of all. I hope and pray that everyone continues to find ways to pursue their incredible talents. They obviously love performing. And I know it’s difficult as life pulls everyone in different directions, but I hope they find ways to get together and make their beautiful music from time to time. And on a selfish note, for our sakes too. Can never get enough of F&F. Many thanks to you all. God bless.

Listening to this mesmerizing rendition again and again. When Chase goes to that lower register, followed by that spot on base; it's tonal perfection. All the harmonies are captivating. I'll be back...

Harmonies perfect. And my girl was up there preachin, what a soulful lead vocal!

Freaking awesome performance! Chase has the absolutely most sultry voice I’ve ever heard!

I'm looking at the comments and I guess I'm not alone. I have replayed this song probably 30 times over the past month. Chase's incredible vocal interpretation are just stuck in my head. I don't usually comment on these boards but this cover is absolutely incredible - the blended backup vocals, the subtle guitar, the incredible bass work . . . just all of it. This song turned my into an F&F fan.

Did someone say..sheesh..Todd Rundgren needs to hear this phenom…incredible ..and all the rest of the available adjectives…🇨🇦

The strength in Chases voice is flooring! Wow

This is the most polished vocal groupie heard in decades! Im 53, very musically in tune. The production of this band is top notch. The vocal blending and professionalism is at the top. Thank you for enriching my days with your music. Keep these voices together ❤. Chase, Maggie, Sam, and Tim. Thank you all.

Beautiful instrumental and vocal arrangement. Perfect phrasing by Chase to take full advantage of her remarkable range without overselling it. Wise beyond her years.

This song honestly doesn't get done any better than this, period.

I can't hold my breath as long a Chase holds that note. Unbelievable

Chase is a world-class singer. And, of course, F&F is the best cover band in the world. Amazing!

That last phrase by Chase is...just incredible!!!

Wow, Chase does an incredible job singing this song. I have listened to this song 10-20 times….She is so passionate singing this song too. Incredible singing and playing by all members!

These gifted folks still Bless my life every time I visit.

I have listened to this probably 30 times now, and I still get goosebumps!!

Anyone not getting goosebumps with Chase killing it at 4:10 should go ahead and get in the hearse. There is no way that there is a singer alive that could do a performance any better than that. Chase, best job ever based on all of those found of you on the RU-vids. Congrats, great job.

I’m in tears.🥲 This was a soul-shaking performance.💓

Still blows me away after the 100th listen. You guys are incredible.

Chase is a gem! What a powerful voice!

What can be said …this is amazing talent and performance. Chase rocking it out at the end is unbelievable. I am addicted to this group.

THIS is the best I have ever heard this song sung.

Listen to that man playing bass. Spot on!

Her voice is like butter.

Chase is nails on this. And the musicianship is as solid as always. Stellar cover.

Song selection of this group is superb. Whoever is in charge of that has impeccable taste. Execution of all the covers is always so good. Thanks for the love and care that you put into your work; it's much appreciated.

WOW! Amazing! Only just found these videos. Wanted to know where they're appearing next. Alas, it's only studio stuff. If they went on tour they'd knock 'em out of the ballpark! Sounds like everyone has their own paths though. I'd pay to go see them. Telling Me Lies is perfect. Hell, all their renditions are. Hope you keep making videos anyway. Thanks for the smiles.

Chase's voice is pure butter. This is really good stuff. No fake stuff, just people putting their heart and soul into the music. Thanks.

What Chase does at 4:06 is unreal. Gives me chills and makes me smile.

This group never fails to astonish. Todd would surely dig them.

Love is the answer, this group , their hamony, I have never heard such beautiful music ever until now

When Chase sings in the higher range near the end of the song, gave me chills! Excellent cover!

This Lady can sing!

When Chase hits that note at the end and takes this song up in to the stratosphere I got goosebumps! She was born to sing this song!

Wow! Truly great work, you all! And, Chase, you are fabulous! You really make me smile.

I only hope that these artists know just how important what they are doing is ! Much more than music ! It is magical ! I am so thankful that I found them. Their sound is, as if Heaven sent ! And the timing could not be better, in this mess of a world we are all a part of. God Bless you all !

WOW is all i have to say !! WOW WOW WOW

Chase is so smooth on her vocals

Great cover band. Add precise editing (video/ sound) all together, Amazing...

Chase literally puts herself in a class with Whitney and Mariah when she hits/holds that note from 4:12 thru 4:22. Absolute perfection!

I keep coming back to listening to this song that Chase does such a beautiful rendition of. So love it....

Chase just gets better and better. Someone needs to sign her in a record contract!

80yrs old got his thumb up, one facet of a polished diamond, when it brings tears, you got IT.

I HAVE BEEN AN F&F FAN FOR A LONG TIME, BUT I THINK I HAVE COME DOWN WI TH CHASE FEVER! HER VOICE JUST COMPLETES THE GROUP. I CANT GET ENOUGH OF HER CLEAN POWERFUL VOICE. ANYWAY, I LOVE IT FROM TEXAS!!!!

I can't stop listening to the Foxes and Fossils! They are outstanding.

If 2020 has taught us anything, it's that this crazy world is starving for love. Love is ALWAYS the answer. I love your music, I love your smiles, I love everything about you all. I know how much work and dedication goes into these videos and rehearsals, and we get to eat the fruits of your labor in just a few short minutes. Please keep the music coming. To quote good ol' Shakespeare, "If music be the food of love...play on!"

Beautiful lead. Exceptional backup!

That is a world-class lead vocal. Nuance and power, not often you get both in one voice.
