Sharon Redd - In the Name of Love

[@donfleming4593]

I almost cried when I heard this song again after so many years. Wonderful voice. God Bless you in heaven Sharon.

[@TheProtagonistDies]

she died from aids

[@garrison7888]

I first met Sharon when she was with Bette Midler in Cleveland Ohio. Then I met her again in New York City it was so sad to hear about how her life ended, rock in peace,💖

[@wannababrit]

My all-time favorite club song. There was nothing like 80s music. Nothing.

[@sharonredd5259]

Enjoy it!

[@drwhatson]

Except '60s and '70s music. :-P

[@tiffanimorris7127]

This hit #1 on the Billboard Club/Dance Charts in 1982 as well as the UK top 40. A Disco R&B Hi NRG Hybrid with gorgeous strings and horns 📯 I can hear the hurt and yearning and hope and regret in her voice that comes with finding and losing love😢 Best bridge ever in a dance tune 2:46 "So Maybe It's Better It's Finally Over And You'll Have A Chance To Live Your Life One More Time AGAIN!!" Also ends the song being stronger and happier in her relationship 5:34 "I'M BACK IN YOUR ARMS AGAIN!! I WON'T TAKE IT NO MORE!! NO NO MORE!! I'M BACK IN LOVE AGAIN!! IN THE NAME OF LOVE!!"

What a voice, in the name of love, can you handle it & never give you up takes you back to the dance floors of the early 80s. I had no she passed away so young. RIP Sharon.

[@MarkeyMo]

We used to dance to this song every time the DJ played it. One of the greatest, most emotional performances to ever grace a Disco recording. RIP to the great Sharon Redd. (PS - Check out Love Insurance & Beat the Street).

Awesome song. Love it since it was released. RIP Sharon

[@rugbysteve2255]

A big hit in the dance clubs at the time of its release and still a floor filler at parties now. A timeless classic from the Fabulous Miss Sharon Redd

[@mike7ky]

[@johnfarrington9868]

Fabulous miss Sharon!!! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤xxx

[@josephscovitch2701]

Ultra disco diva of Prelude Records, Sharon Redd. Never disappointed. So powerful and so very danceable. Much soul funk here. Great lyrics too. Club fave, yes. Almost frantic. Memorable. From Love Insurance to the Name of Love. Thanks, Sharon. RIP forever. Great effort. Vive les disco freaks ...

[@josephscovitch2701]

Note all the Robbie Dupree influence in background melody, taken from his Steal Away, 1980. Very nice sampling and borrowing. Works well. Luv u Sharon Redd. RIP. Vive les disco freaks ...

[@scottrobertson4450]

Only discovered this last week. What a song !

[@davidcattin7006]

One of my favorite dance club songs of the 80s. Those were the days.

[@angelallanos7635]

Beautiful memories back in the early 80's!

[@sharonredd5259]

[@michaelsilveira3495]

One of those timeless songs that will always sound as good as the day it came out, bring shivers to me as soon as I hear it along with so many others of this era

[@johnfarrington9868]

This is it! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@AFairyTaleHigh]

[@davidjamesmcghee9902]

I totally forgot about this song. Remember dancing to this at the night magic in dunfermline.

[@robertminkler4696]

Great dance mix. Love Sharon's voice. Don't remember this from the day. Love Insurance is one of my all time favorites songs ever on which Sharon wasn't even given credit where credit was more than due.

[@ronc1772]

Ahhh ..the memories....

[@mike7ky]

Love Sharon Redd songs, remembering the Prelude Records days, In the Name Of Love, along with Beat the Streets, Can You Handle It, Never Gonna Give You Up, I never get tired of hearing them. Love your voice!
