Your Love (disambiguation)

Your Love is a song by Jamie Principle and Frankie Knuckles, released in 1985 on Trax Records.

The song is an early example of Chicago house music.

Key features of the song are the arpeggiated repeating synth line and the powerful propulsive bassline that drives the song. The song features a progressive chord sequence which many house records later in the 1980's would neglect.

At the time the song became an anthem across Chicago despite not being released on vinyl. The song only spread as the tape was copied, Frankie Knuckles later said of the circulated version that it was not the best version of the song that they made.

In 2004, the song was used in the videogame Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas soundtrack as a song on the House Music Station, SF-UR.

Your Love is sampled extensively in You Got the Love by The Source, featuring vocals by Candi Staton.
