" The Power of Love " is a song co-written and originally recorded by American singer Jennifer Rush in 1984. It has since been covered by Air Supply , Laura Branigan and Celine Dion .

Recorded in Frankfurt , Germany (where Rush is based) and released in West Germany without much success in late 1984, Rush's original version reached number one on the UK Singles Chart in October 1985 and subsequently became the biggest-selling single of the year in the UK as Rush became the first female artist ever to have a million-selling single in the UK—it became the ninth best-selling single of the decade . [1] It also topped the charts in several other European countries, as well as Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.

Dion's cover version peaked at number one in the United States, Canada and Australia in 1994. The song has been translated into several languages, becoming a pop standard.

"The Power of Love" was first recorded in Frankfurt, West Germany by Jennifer Rush for her 1984 eponymous album . This was a year after the band Frankie Goes to Hollywood conceived a song with the same title. It was released as a single in West Germany in December 1984. In June 1985, "The Power of Love" was issued as a single in the United Kingdom, where it topped the chart for five weeks in October 1985 and became the best-selling single of the year . [2] As of March 2017, it had sold 1.45 million copies in the UK. [3] The success of the song saw Rush perform it live on the BBC’s Top of the Pops in late 1985. [4]

The massive success of "The Power of Love" in the UK followed with widespread international success for the single in the last months of 1985 and the first of 1986, including a German re-release with a resultant number-nine charting. Eventually "The Power of Love" reached number one in Australia, Austria, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa and Spain (where Rush topped the chart with a version in Spanish called "Si tú eres mi hombre y yo tu mujer", translated as "If you are my man and I'm your woman"), number three in Switzerland, Sweden and Belgium, and number seven in the Netherlands.

CBS held off on releasing "The Power of Love" in North America feeling the disc was too European. It finally saw release in the United States and Canada in January 1986 but despite rising to number one in Canada, "The Power of Love" failed to become a significant US hit, stalling at number 57 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending of April 5, 1986, and spending 13 weeks within the Hot 100. The song was performed by Rush on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in March 1986 and American Bandstand in April 1986.

Michele Greppi from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution picked "The Power of Love" as the "best cut" of the album , complimenting Rush's voice, noting that her "operatic training shows in her incredible range (with no apparent loss of power or flexibility at either top or bottom)". [5] Tom Ewing of Freaky Trigger stated that it's "a song about how love removes your own sense of scale, makes existence itself unfamiliar, so the disorientating disconnect between it and anything resembling my emotional reality makes a sort of warped sense." He added the chorus as "so memorable". [6] Alan Jones from Music Week declared it "frankly superior". [7] Richard Defendorf from The Orlando Sentinel deemed it a "goopy ballad". [8] People magazine wrote that "what's most impressive is Rush's voice. Throaty, intense and wide-ranging". The reviewer also noted that there is "intelligent passion" in the "broody" "The Power of Love". [9] Pop Rescue described it as a "fantastically classic power ballad" and "flawless", adding that the singer's vocals are "rich, strong, and wonderfully spine tingling". [10] Greg Kennedy from Red Deer Advocate viewed the song as "plaintive" and "poignant". [11] A writer for The Stage called it a "superballad". [12]

Australian music channel Max placed the song at number 771 in their list of "1000 Greatest Songs of All Time" in 2011. [13]
