Need Your Love (Flamingos song)

"Need Your Love" is a song by The Flamingos.

The song was recorded by one of the best doo wop groups of the '50s era, The Flamingos. It was the creation of the lead singer, Nate Nelson and arranged by the group's stellar first tenor, Johnny Carter. This last minute composition was written as a b-side for a song that was hailed as a major hit long before its release, as a consequence "Need Your Love" never was played on the radio. Its obscurity was so complete that when the group was interviewed by the CEO/Founder of The Doo Wop Hall of Fame, Lonnie Cook, (in 1995 prior to their induction into The R&B Foundation at the Hollywood Palladium) no member remembered the song. They never even sang it again after leaving the studio.

As it turns out Lonnie Cook was the lead singer of a Kansas City doo wop group called The Fandangos and upon purchase of the 45rpm flipped it and played what he considers to be the best overall doo wop ever written.

The Fandangos adopted the song as their theme song and made history by singing it over 5,000 times. No other song has ever been immortalized by another group, and that without airplay. They sang it exactly like the record. Lonnie Cook, Alvin Fant, Gerald Melton, Homer Glover, Harvey Shannon, and Eddie Wade are in the record books as a result of that accomplishment.

Need Your Love (Cheap Trick song)

Need Your Love is a song written by Rick Nielsen and Tom Petersson that was originally performed by American rock band Cheap Trick. The song appeared on Cheap Trick's 1979 album Dream Police. A live version was included on the 1978 album Cheap Trick at Budokan, which initially appeared only in Japan but eventually was in the United States in early 1979. Because Cheap Trick was immensely popular in Japan, the band's Japanese label demanded that At Budokan include three new songs. The three songs were "Ain't That a Shame", "Goodnight Now", and "Need Your Love."

The song uses a traditional hard rock formula, and does not use synthesized strings as were used on other songs on Dream Police. The musical backing to the song on Dream Police is basically a mid-tempo jam consisting of Nielsen's fancy guitar playing and Petersson's driving bass. Singer Robin Zander sings in a falsetto voice and incorporates a tremolo warble at the end of each line. Nielsen has commented that "I think it is a desperate type of tune that Robin does a great job of singing." This arrangement is put through several changes, incorporating a heavy guitar break, which stretches the length of the song more than seven and a half minutes.Ira Robbins of Trouser Press notes that the song "starts out slow and restrained, but builds to an intense boogie-based climax." Music critic Dave Marsh of Rolling Stone Magazine described the song as "a better version of the Who meets Free than Bad Company has ever managed — but that's about all it is."Mojo noted that "Need Your Love" and "Gonna Raise Hell", another song from Dream Police, "proved the Trick could do heavy, freaky rock jams as well as any of their peers."

Your Love (Nicki Minaj song)

"Your Love" is a song by Trinidadian-born recording artist Nicki Minaj, taken from her debut studio album Pink Friday (2010). It was released on June 1, 2010 by Young Money, Cash Money, and Universal Motown as the lead single of the album. The song was written by Minaj, Joseph Hughes, David Freedman, and Andrew "Pop" Wansel, and was produced by the latter. Minaj originally intended to release "Massive Attack" as the lead single from Pink Friday, though its release was scrapped after an underwhelming commercial performance.

Described as a "rap ballad", the song is a change of tempo compared to Minaj's previous work, and according to Mariel Concepcion of Billboard, the song contains a "new brand of hood majesty." The song heavily samples Annie Lennox's 1995 cover version of the song "No More I Love You's" (1986) by The Lover Speaks, using its background vocals with additional bass, hip-hop backbeats and drum loops added.

The song received mostly positive reviews from critics, complimenting Minaj's singing and rapping flexibility, and the use of the Lennox sample. The song peaked at numbers 14 and four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts, respectively.
