"Nobody Loves Me Like You Do" is a song written by James Dunne and Pamela Phillips-Oland, and originally performed on the CBS soap opera As the World Turns by Dunne himself with series regular Tonya Pinkins.[1][2] It was later recorded by Jermaine Jackson with a then-unknown Whitney Houston, and also by Canadian country music artist Anne Murray with singer-songwriter Dave Loggins. Jackson and Houston actually premiered their version on As the World Turns as well, on the August 1, 1984 episode,[3] while the Murray-Loggins version was released as a country single shortly thereafter, in September of '84. The former appeared on Houston's 1985 self-titled debut album and on the 2009 compilation album, The Collection.[4][5] The latter was the first single from Murray's album Heart over Mind, peaking at number one on December 15, 1984. It was Murray's ninth American number-one country hit, and it also hit the top ten on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.[6] The song was Loggins' only hit on the country chart. In live performances, Murray sang the duet with Billie Hughes.[7] The song also appears on Murray's 2007 album Anne Murray Duets: Friends & Legends, performed as a duet with her daughter, Dawn Langstroth.
