NOTHING’S GONNA CHANGE

MY LOVE FOR YOU

Glenn Medeiros

1987

U.K. - #1; U.S.A. - #12


Trivia:

Poor George Benson. Not only did Whitney Houston turn a song he had previously recorded into a worldwide #1 with "The Greatest Love Of All", but he watched Glenn Medeiros do the same with another song he had cut first: "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You". Both tracks were co-written by Michael Masser. He composed the former with Linda Creed, while the Medeiros hit was penned with Gerry Goffin.
