Never Knew Love Like This Before



Whistled this song on my walk to work this morning. The purest of idealized love songs have the power to make me extremely melancholy lately.

Artist: Stephanie Mills
Year: 1979
Rating: Warm

Note: Mash-up melodies with Ronnie Milsap's I Wouldn't Have Missed It For the World, which mingled with this song on the early-80s airwaves.

    Reading about this song's affect on you put me in the mood to listen to Bread's "Everything I Own." Apparently David Gates wrote it about his father, and it makes me ache.

    @J- "chills just hearing the memory of its sound," and chills reading that lil description of your experience! Thanks for that!

    Oh, Toad, I'm gonna start crying if I keep listening to that one! It's so great - a lost classic. The refrain reminds me of REO Speedwagon's Keep on Loving You which is so not as good. But I love how pop songs borrow melodies from each other.
