History
In the intervening years since 1980's Hold Out and the release of Lawyers in Love, Browne released the single "Somebody's Baby" which became his biggest commercial hit to date. In the track "Downtown", he ad-libs a line to the melody of the Petula Clark song of the same name at the end of the song.
Lawyers in Love was the first album without David Lindley appearing since 1973's For Everyman.
The album was certified as a Gold record in 1983 and Platinum in 2001 by the RIAA.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“Man watches his history on the screen with apathy and an occasional passing flicker of horror or indignation.”
—Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)
“All things are moral. That soul, which within us is a sentiment, outside of us is a law. We feel its inspiration; out there in history we can see its fatal strength.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
