Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! "The Power of Love" is a power ballad co-written and originally recorded by Jennifer Rush. It has been covered by several artists, most notably by Laura Branigan and Céline Dion, and translated into several languages, becoming a pop standard. In 1985, Jennifer Rush's version spent 5 weeks at number 1 on the UK Singles Chart. However, the song spent much of the summer of 1985 being largely ignored, taking a massive 13 weeks of yo-yoing outside of the top 40, before the song climbed to No.1 in its 17th week on the chart. In total, it spent 33 weeks on the chart and effectively eclipsed the success of the three follow-up singles: "Ring of Ice" (#14), "Madonna's Eyes" (#84) and "Destiny" (#96). It became the first single by a female solo artist to sell a million copies in the United Kingdom and it remains among the UK's best-selling singles of all time.
