#1 Love Song

In honor of valentines day I'd like to talk about the number one love song of all time according to the Billboard Charts. Believe it or not the award goes to....

"Endless Love" Diana Ross & Lionel Richie

Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for nine weeks (1981)

Producer Jon Peters and director Franco Zeffirelli asked Lionel Richie to compose an instrumental along the lines of the theme from “Love Story” for their movie starring Brooke Shields. When Zeffirelli changed his mind and asked Richie if he would add lyrics, the Motown star agreed to write some. Then Zeffirelli made one more request – to add a female singer, someone like Diana Ross.  Needless to say everyone cash in on this love.
