Endless Love
by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie


(Endless Love 1981)


Lionel Richie

Diana Ross

 

 

My love

There's only you in my life

The only thing that's right

My first love

You're every breath that I take

You're every step I make

 

And I

I want to share

All my love with you

No one else will do

And your eyes (your eyes, your eyes)

They tell me how much you care

Oh, yes

You will always be

My endless love

 

Two hearts

Two hearts that beat as one

Our lives have just begun

And forever, forever

I'll hold you close in my arms

I can't resist your charms

 

And I

I'll be a  fool

For you, I'm sure

You know I don't mind

No, you know I don't mind

You mean the world to me

I know I've found in you

My endless love

 

And love

I'll be a  fool

For you, I'm sure

You know I don't mind

Whoa, you know I don't mind

Oh, yes

You'd be the only one

'Cause no, I can't deny

This love I have inside

And I'll give it all to you

My love (my love, my love)

My endless love

My love......

 

Valentines Day is one of the

many times throughout the year

when we let our loved ones know

how much they mean to us.

Endless love is a way of saying

that our love will last forever.

On this special day of the year

tell the special person, or the

special people in your lives.

My love for you is endless

I Love You.....

forever and a day......

"Endless Love" is a song originally recorded as a duet between soul singer Diana Ross and pop singer Lionel Richie, who wrote the song. In this ballad, the singers declare their "endless love" for one another. It was covered by soul singer Luther Vandross with pop/R&B singer Mariah Carey, and also by country music singer Kenny Rogers.

About the record

Ross and Richie recorded the song for the Motown label, and it was used as the theme for the film Endless Love starring Brooke Shields. Produced by Richie, it was released as a single from the film's soundtrack in 1981 (see 1981 in music). While the film Endless Love was a failure, the song became the biggest-selling single of the year in the U.S. and landed at number one on Billboard magazine's Pop chart, where it stayed for nine weeks from August 9 to October 10, 1981. It replaced "Jessie's Girl" by Rick Springfield, and was replaced by Christopher Cross' "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)". It also topped the Billboard R&B chart and the Adult Contemporary chart.

The soulful composition became the biggest-selling single of Ross' career, while it was one of several hits for Richie as the 1980s progressed. Ross recorded a solo version of the song for her first RCA Records album, Why Do Fools Fall in Love?, but the famous version was her last hit on Motown. The song was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song for Richie, and was the second song with which Ross was involved that was nominated for an Oscar. It also won a 1982 American Music Award for Favorite Pop/Rock Single.

Cover versions

Walter Afanasieff produced Luther Vandross and Mariah Carey's cover of the song for Vandross' Epic Records-released album Songs, and it is known for being Carey's first "high-profile" duet (an earlier duet, "I'll Be There", was with a then-unknown background singer). At the 1995 Grammy Awards, the song was nominated in the new category of Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals, losing to "Funny How Time Slips Away" by Al Green and Lyle Lovett. Columbia Records later included the song on Carey's compilation album Greatest Hits (2001).

It was released as the second single from Songs in 1994 (see 1994 in music) and peaked at number two on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, becoming Vandross's fifth top ten single and Carey's twelfth. It was the highest peaking song of Vandross' career in the U.S., remained in the top forty for thirteen weeks, and was ranked number fifty-six on the Hot 100 1994 year-end charts. It was also an improvement over Carey's previous single, "Anytime You Need a Friend", which had missed the top ten. It was certified gold by the RIAA and reached the top five in the UK and Australia. Two videos were released for the single; one features Carey and Vandross recording the song in a studio, and the other shows the two performing the song live at Royal Albert Hall. Some versions of the song itself were released in which Carey or Vandross sings solo.

Kenny Rogers' cover of "Endless Love" was recorded for his album Always and Forever (1996), which went on to sell over four million copies. His version was not released as a single.
