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

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, 💖

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

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.

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).

I danced my ass off many many many times with the person I loved with all my heart in BIG D in the 80's

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

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 ...
