Live and Learn is an album by Elkie Brooks, released in 1979.

Released on the back of two singles ("Don't Cry Out Loud" and "The Runaway"), A&M released Live and Learn choosing to omit these songs.

Leiber & Stoller returned as producers for the album and gave it a distinct funk and disco feel which, after the middle of the road offerings of the non-album singles, perhaps alienated some of her fanbase[according to whom?].

As Elkie had become pregnant during the recording, A&M decided to pull back the promotion even further.

However, she did continue to perform live until late in her pregnancy.
