abstract
| - %22The Power of Love%22 is a song originally recorded and released by English band Frankie Goes to Hollywood. It was written by Holly Johnson, Peter Gill, Mark O'Toole and Brian Nash, four of five members of the band. It was released by the group as their third single.Initially issued as a single in November 1984, and taken from the album Welcome to the Pleasuredome, %22The Power of Love%22 followed its two predecessors, %22Relax%22 and %22Two Tribes%22, to the top of the UK singles chart. It scored the band an early December number-one. %22The Power Of Love%22 was also a top 10 hit in several European countries, in New Zealand, and in Canada.Since then, reissues and/or remixes of the Frankie Goes To Hollywood recording of this song have been top 10 UK hits on two other occasions, hitting #10 in 1993 and #6 in 2000. %22The Power Of Love%22 has also charted in the UK in a version by Holly Johnson (a solo recording from 1999), and a 2012 version by Gabrielle Aplin. Aplin's recording of the song also went to #1 in the UK, exactly 28 years after the original Frankie Goes To Hollywood single topped the charts.Aplin's version also enjoyed a resurgence in 2014 thanks to it being the soundtrack to the advert/trailer for TV series %22Resurrection%22.Holly Johnson, who co-wrote the song, later reminisced: %22I always felt like The Power Of Love was the record that would save me in this life. There is a biblical aspect to its spirituality and passion; the fact that love is the only thing that matters in the end.%22
