The Power of Love (Jennifer Rush song)

Overview

"The Power of Love" was first recorded in Munich by Jennifer Rush for her 1984 eponymous album. It was released as a single in West Germany in December 1984. In June 1985, "The Power of Love" was issued as a single in the United Kingdom, where following a 16 week climb it peaked at the top of the UK Singles Chart for five weeks in October 1985 and became Britain's best-selling song of 1985. As of March 2017, it had sold 1.45 million copies in the United Kingdom. The success of "The Power of Love" in the United Kingdom saw Rush perform the song on the British music TV show Top of the Pops in late 1985.

The massive success of "The Power of Love" in the United Kingdom followed with widespread international success for the single in the last months of 1985 and the first of 1986, including a German re-release with a resultant number-nine charting. Eventually "The Power of Love" reached number one in Australia, Austria, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa and Spain (where Rush topped the chart with a version in Spanish called "Si tú eres mi hombre y yo tu mujer", translated as "If you are my man and I'm your woman"), number three in Switzerland, Sweden and Belgium, and number seven in the Netherlands.

CBS held off on releasing "The Power of Love" in North America feeling the disc was too European. It finally saw release in the United States and Canada in January 1986 but despite rising to number one in Canada, "The Power of Love" failed to become a significant US hit, stalling at number 57 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending of April 5, 1986, and spending 13 weeks within the Hot 100. The song was performed by Rush on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in March 1986 and American Bandstand in April 1986.

Spanish version

A Spanish re-recording of the song titled "Si tú eres mi hombre y yo tu mujer" (meaning "If You Were My Man and I Your Lady") was released in 1986. This version had lyrics adapted by . The Spanish version entered the Spanish singles chart at number 16 in April 1986 while the original English version was still at number 2. The Spanish version topped the Spanish singles chart for six consecutive weeks. It was also the fifth best-selling single in Spain of 1986.

"Si tú eres mi hombre y yo tu mujer" was added to the album on Spanish re-issues beginning in 1986. The Spanish version was re-recorded by Jennifer in 1998 for her Classics and appeared on Spanish pressings of that album. The original 1986 recording was later included on the 2007 box set Stronghold – The Collector's Hit Box.

Critical reception

Michele Greppi from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution named "The Power of Love" the "best cut" of the album, complimenting Rush's voice, noting that her "operatic training shows in her incredible range (with no apparent loss of power or flexibility at either top or bottom)". Tom Ewing of Freaky Trigger stated that it's "a song about how love removes your own sense of scale, makes existence itself unfamiliar, so the disorientating disconnect between it and anything resembling my emotional reality makes a sort of warped sense." He added that the chorus is "so memorable". Alan Jones from Music Week complimented it as "frankly superior". Stephen Holden from The New York Times remarked that Rush "has a distinctive alto that combines an almost folkish intonation with a declamatory, quasi-operatic delivery. It is a voice that doesn't fit comfortably into any category." Richard Defendorf from The Orlando Sentinel declared it as a "goopy ballad". People magazine wrote that "what's most impressive is Rush's voice. Throaty, intense and wide-ranging". The reviewer also noted that there is "intelligent passion" in the "broody" "The Power of Love". In a retrospective review, Pop Rescue praised it as a "fantastically classic power ballad" and "flawless", noting that the singer's vocals are "rich, strong, and wonderfully spine tingling". Greg Kennedy from Red Deer Advocate viewed the song as "plaintive" and "poignant". A writer for The Stage declared it a "superballad".

Australian music channel Max included "The Power of Love" in their list of "1000 Greatest Songs of All Time" in 2011.

Music video

The accompanying music video of "The Power of Love" was directed by German director Michael Leckebusch. It was filmed in New York City. As the video begins, we see the city in the early morning hours. Some villainous types are walking around an empty office, looking for something. They are being discovered by Rush's man, who obviously works at nights. Then the focus switches to Rush who is seen leaving Madison Square Garden. She starts singing and at home, she opens the door to her bedroom and finds her man lying asleep. When the chorus starts, Rush is standing in a freight elevator that is moving upwards. There are glimpses of the villainous men pushing her man to do things for them. Some scenes show Rush wearing black sunglasses, standing on the dock by the sea, while she watches the guys meeting on a pier to plot something. They are also hitting her man on the street by car. Apparently Rush is trying to help him out of the hands of these villains. Towards the end, she walks alone through the city in the evening hours, singing. At home, she once again opens the bedroom door, checking that her man is lying there asleep and then she shuts the door. As of January 2025, the video had generated more than 161 million views on YouTube.

British/Australian duo Air Supply covered "The Power of Love" for their 1985 eponymous album. Since the song was sung by Russell Hitchcock, a man, the gender roles were reversed in the lyrics ("I'm your lady and you are my man" became "You are my lady and I am your man"). It was released as a single in July 1985 in the United States. Their version was titled "The Power of Love (You Are My Lady)" so as not to be confused with "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis and the News which was on the charts at the same time. Air Supply's version was a moderate success in New Zealand and Canada, reaching the top 40 in both countries in late 1985. In the US, it peaked at number 68. Their cover was featured in the 2017 film Death Note.

American singer Laura Branigan recorded "The Power of Love" under the title "Power of Love" for her fifth studio album, Touch (1987). Produced by David Kershenbaum, the track was released in October 1987 by Atlantic Records as the album's second single and reached number 26 on the US Billboard Hot 100 that December, becoming Branigan's seventh and final top-40 entry. "Power of Love" also peaked at number 19 on Billboards Hot Adult Contemporary chart.

Branigan would say of "Power of Love": "There's a song on this album" ("Power Of Love") "that to me is the ultimate in singing. It's a real emotional tear-your-heart-out kind of song. It's a classic torch song with today's feeling. I think those are the ones that live on forever.

"It has a range that keeps going on and on. It is really challenging vocally and yet it is really emotional. Emotion of the most important thing for me."

Critical reception

Dion's cover of "The Power of Love" received acclaim from music critics. About.com placed the song at number seven in their ranking of "Top 10 Celine Dion Songs", calling it a "big ballad". Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic "highlighted" it in his review of The Colour of My Love. A reviewer from The Baltimore Sun stated that the singer "sounds great" when she's working with "tunefully romantic stuff". Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report wrote, "A song this powerful places extraordinary demands on those who sing it. Only a rare few are up to the task... Add Celine's interpretation to producer David Foster's arrangement and the result is nothing short of superb". Another Gavin Report editor, Ron Fell, remarked that "it's made better than ever", praising it as "awesome!"

Caroline Sullivan from The Guardian described it as a "bodice-bursting" version. Mike Wass from Idolator complimented Dion's "flawless vocal" on a "classy" Foster arrangement. Dennis Hunt from LA Times compared Dion's vocals favorably to those of Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, noting "that grandiose, note-stretching finish". Pan-European magazine Music & Media described the song as a "tender rendition" and named it "the obligatory majestic ballad one can't leave out on any album within this genre anymore. Her US number 1 hit shows it works." Alan Jones from Music Week said it "is so powerful it's sure to score". A reviewer from The Network Forty considered it "a reflective ballad brought to life by Celine's brilliantly distinctive vocals". The Plain Dealer described it as a "soaring rendition". Christopher Smith from Talk About Pop Music complimented it as "powerful and faithful to the original version".

Cultural impact

Siren kings, members of a New Zealand street subculture devoted to the volume and clarity of music via public address system loudspeakers, value the Celine Dion version of "The Power of Love" as a perfect song for the medium. Siren king Purp Ci'i stated that it "will smash anyone in a battle—that song is dangerous...It's an old favourite from when sirens first started."
