"Too Much Ain't Enough Love" is a song by Australian rock singer, Jimmy Barnes. It was released in October 1987 as the first single from Barnes' 1987 album, Freight Train Heart. It was his first Australian No. 1 hit single[1] and reached No. 4 on the New Zealand Singles Chart.[2] In the United States it was issued in the following year, which peaked at No. 91 on the Billboard Hot 100 in July 1988.[3] It featured back-up vocals by Venetta Fields (who often performed back-up for both Barnes and John Farnham), as well as Wendy Matthews, who later found acclaim as a solo singer.
In a Cash Box magazine review, they said "He's been called the Australian Bruce Springsteen, and this great cut proves it. He's got a phenomenal rock voice. Great song".[4]
