I Found Lovin' - Versions


Fatback Band [1983] - I Found Lovin' [Master Mix (UK) 12 CHE 8401]

UK 80s Soul Weekender anthem which charted 3 times in UK 1984 #49, 1986 #55 and 1987 #7, which was one of the last hits by the group.


Ca$hflow [1986] - Mine All Mine (Original Version) [Atlanta Artists 884 722-1]

Additional credit to Kenny Beck along with original composers Johnny Flippin & Michael L. Walker.



Steve Walsh [1987] - I Found Lovin' [A.1. A1 299]

'Larger than life' London soul DJ Steve Walsh had a UK top 10 hit with his version of it in 1987 a mere year before he lost his life aged only 29 due to complications after an operation to save his leg after a car crash in Ibiza.

Here's a 'cheesy' clip from Top Of The Pops.  The act probably worked well in a club .... but not on 'rent-a-crowd' TOTP studio!




All Saints 1.9.7.5. [1995] - If You Wanna Party (I Found Lovin] [ZTT ZANG 71]

Backing track sampled on this 1995 release from the first incarnation of All Saints, who were later dropped by the label after this release.  They were originally a trio, Simone Rainford left and 2 new members (the Appleton sisters Nicole and Natalie)  joined Shaznay Lewis and Melanie Blatt to form All Saints.



Love City [1997] - I Found Lovin' [East West EW128]

A short-lived UK group formed by Stephen 'Beanz' Rudden who represented UK in 1995 Eurovision Song Contest.



Ashanti [2003] - I Found Lovin' [Murder Inc B0000142-02]

Released on Ashanti's 2003 album Chapter II.


Andy Abraham [2012] - Found Lovin' [AUK]

X-Factor contestant 2005, Andy Abraham released a version in 2012 on his Remember When... album (an album of cover versions).



There is also a hideous New Jack Swing version from 1989 by Jeff Redd which is simply too awful to post!
