"A Thing Called Love" is a song written and originally recorded by Jerry Reed in 1968. This song has been recorded by many artists, including Jimmy Dean, Elvis Presley, Glen Campbell, and Dave Dudley. In 1971, the song was recorded by Johnny Cash and it became a number 1 country hit in Canada. The record was Cash's biggest hit in Europe, charting in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. Presley's version features The Imperials on backing vocals and is an uncredited duet with their bass singer Armond Morales; it was also recorded in 1971 and was released on his third and final gospel album, ''He Touched Me'' in 1972.
''A Thing Called Love'' is the 39th overall album by country singer Johnny Cash, released on Columbia Records in 1972. The title song, written by Jerry Reed, was released successfully as a single (with "Daddy" as the B-side), reaching number 2 on the country charts; two more singles charted as well, while the album itself also reached number 2 on the country album charts. "A Thing Called Love" was re-recorded by Cash for ''Classic Cash: Hall of Fame Series'' (1988), while "Tear Stained Letter" was reprised on American IV: The Man Comes Around (2002). The Canadian pressing of this album has a different version of "Kate" with altered lyrics.
