Valentines Day and Love Song Facts

Music and Love have always been "best friends." If we feel clumsy at expressing how much we love and care for that special person in our life, fortunately, there are plenty of love songs that will say it perfectly.

In 1965 the song "Stop in the Name of Love" was sung by Diana Ross of the Supremes. It was written by the famous Motown team (Holland/Dozier/Holland). Dozier got the idea for the song after an argument with his girlfriend (she caught him cheating).

In the heat of battle, he said, "Baby, please stop. In the name of Love - before you break my heart." He was trying to diffuse the situation, but it didn't help - she was still going to break up with him. So, he asked her to "think it over."

Dozier knew these lines were a bit corny but also thought they would work well in the song. He was right: "Stop! In the Name of Love" became a huge hit, and when it did, guess what? The girl came back to him.
