Mighty Love

About Mighty Love

"Mighty Love" is a 1973 song recorded by the American R&B vocal group The Spinners (known as "Detroit Spinners" in the UK). The song was co-written by Joseph B. Jefferson, Bruce Hawes and Charles Simmons and was produced by Thom Bell. Recorded at Philly's Sigma Sound Studios, the house band MFSB provided the backing. Bobbie Smith and Philippé Wynne rotate lead vocals during the first half of the song, with Wynne taking over completely for the final two and half minutes. During live performances by the Spinners, the song was often used to showcase Wynne's exceptional ad-lib ability. When it was released as the lead single from the album of the same name, the song was split into two parts and "Mighty Love – Pt.1" became another hit for the group, holding the number one spot on the US R&B Singles chart for two weeks in March 1974 while also reaching number twenty on the Pop Singles chart. Todd Rundgren, Lisa Stansfield and Phil Perry are among those who have covered the song. The song appears in Richard Pryor's 1986 film, Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling. more »

Mighty love, mighty love

It's once in a lifetime, and this time, it's mine
Never ever, ever gonna let you go
'Cause I'm always gonna love you
There's so much you haven't seen that I can show you
But I never wanna shove you
Maybe ladies come and maybe ladies go 
(But I'll tell you) this lady's stayin'
And if you don't want to rush it we can take it slow
Baby it's a special thing, and there's no reason to explain
This is what so many long for, this is

[Chorus]
A mighty love, a mighty love
No push or shove, we're all dreamin' of
A mighty love, a mighty love
It's what we want, and there can never be no other love
I swear I'll never have you ride in back, in tow
(I swear) I'll never hurt you

Darlin' I could never be with anyone else
'Cause you're all I need to know
And I won't ever let you go
Baby it's a special thing, and there's no reason to explain
This is what so many long for, this is

[Chorus]

No one will ever know
Maybe ladies come and maybe ladies go 
(But I'll tell you) this lady's stayin'
And if you don't want to rush it we can take it slow
Baby it's a special thing, and there's no reason to explain
This is what so many long for, it's

[Chorus]
