Lady Love (song)
"Lady Love" is a pop song written by Yvonne Gray alias Vonghn Gray. The sheet music has the songwriter as Von Gray the sole writer, however; the strings were the arrangement of Belford Hendricks. The Producers were Von Gray and Jack Faith. It became a hit single cut from Lou Rawls' 1977 album When You Hear Lou, You've Heard It All. It was released as a single in January 1978 and peaked at #13 in Canada, #24 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, #20 on Cash Box, and went to #21 on the R&B chart.
On the Canadian and U.S. Adult Contemporary charts, "Lady Love" peaked at #5. The song is an airplay staple today on adult standards and smooth jazz radio stations.Personnel
