Nazareth is a Scottish rock band that had several hard rock hits, as well as one pop hit, the Felice and Boudleaux Bryant composition "Love Hurts," in the '70s.

Nazareth was formed in 1968 in Dunfermline, Scotland, by vocalist Dan McCafferty, guitarist Manny Charlton, bassist Pete Agnew, and drummer Darrell Sweet. The band moved to London, England in 1970, and released their self-titled debut album in 1971. After getting some attention with their second album Exercises, released in 1972, Nazareth released Razamanaz, which spawned two UK Top Ten hits, "Broken Down Angel" and "Bad Bad Boy." This was followed by two albums with the same sound, Loud 'n' Proud and Rampant, in 1974, that were less successful.
