(Redirected from Love Theme)
1973 single by the Love Unlimited Orchestra
The recording (with a large string orchestra, modified guitar and big rhythm) was considered to be an influence on the disco sound, which would increase popularity the following year. The song was also popular on the Adult Contemporary chart in the United States (spending two weeks at #1) and was also a #1 on Cash Box. For several years, a shortened version of the original instrumental release was used in the opening sequence of the television golf PGA Tour on ABC broadcasting program.
In Canada, the single was similarly successful, being a #1 on the RPM 100 National Singles Chart on March 2, 1974. "Love's Theme" was sampled by the Italian group Black Box in their 1989 song "Ride on Time".
In 1975–76, WPIX-TV in New York would end its 10:00pm broadcast of Harper News (later Action News) with "Love's Theme".
It was also used as the boarding music for Cathay Pacific during the 1980s and as the theme song of the Brazilian soap opera Celebridade.
The 2024 PBS series Disco: Soundtrack of a Revolution explores the importance of "Love's Theme" to the history of disco music.
