"My Love" is a song by American singer-songwriter Lionel Richie. It was released in 1983 as the third and final single from his self-titled debut solo album. The song features harmony backing vocals by country music singer Kenny Rogers.[1] It reached the top 10 on three notable Billboard magazine charts in the spring of 1983: on the Billboard Hot 100 the song peaked at No. 5;[2] on the Adult Contemporary chart, the song spent four weeks at No. 1;[1] and on the R&B chart, the song topped out at No. 6.[1] "My Love" was not among Richie's more successful singles in the United Kingdom, where it only managed to reach No. 70 on the UK Singles Chart.[3] In Canada, it peaked at No. 28 on the RPM Top 100 Singles chart.
Cash Box described "My Love" as being reminiscent of the Commodores' single "Easy."[4]
A remake of the song was recorded and included on Richie's 2012 album Tuskegee, which features Kenny Chesney.[5]
