Regina Belle [1987] - You Got The Love [CBS #REBE 1]


The video of a single taken from her debut album 'All By Myself' way back in 1987 which was only released in UK and Holland as a single but has always surprised me why it never charted.

Love T.K.O.

From her 1995 album 'Reachin' Back' which consisted of covers of Philly classics. This is her version of the song made famous by Teddy Pendergrass which was written by Cecil Womack and Eddie 'Gip' Noble for David Oliver who recorded it on his 1980 'Here's To You' album before Pendergrass. 

It has subsequently been recorded by many others including both writers Womack & Womack (1983) (Cecil & Linda) and Eddie 'Gip' Noble (2004) along with others such as Daryl Hall & John Oates (2004), Boz Scaggs (2005), Michael McDonald (2007), Fourplay Feat. Ruben Studdard (2010) and Seal (2011).  Even Bette Midler had a go with it in 2000 and have to say not a bad version.
