The soul singer who had a 1976 hit with “You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine” was Lou Rawls. The song became the defining commercial success of his later career.
Written by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, the song appeared on Rawls’s 1976 album All Things in Time, his first album for Philadelphia International Records. It was recorded at Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia, where Gamble and Huff developed their rich, orchestral style of soul music.
The single topped the U.S. R&B and Easy Listening charts and reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was also Rawls’s only pop single to reach the Billboard Top 10, making its success unusually significant within his discography.
Listeners sometimes associate the song with other smooth-soul singers because of its elegant arrangement and adult-contemporary appeal. However, Rawls’s deep, resonant baritone is central to the recording, and the performance remains his signature hit. The parent album reached No. 7 on the Billboard 200.
