"Love Don't Live Here Anymore"
Song
B-side"Do It, Do It"

"Love Don't Live Here Anymore" is a song written by Miles Gregory and originally recorded by Rose Royce. It was produced by former Motown songwriter and producer Norman Whitfield for the Whitfield Records. Lead vocals were sung by Gwen Dickey and the song was released as the second single from their third studio album Rose Royce III: Strikes Again! The song was developed as a result of producer Whitfield's interest to work with Paul Buckmaster, the British arranger and composer. Together they asked songwriter Miles Gregory to write a song for them. Gregory was undergoing medications for his drug overuse problem, and this situation and his deteriorating physical health became the inspiration behind the song. "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" incorporated the use of the Electronic LinnDrum machine, and was one of the first songs to effectively use the sound reverbs of the instrument. The song was mainly recorded at music contractor Gene Bianco's house, where Dickey was present during the recording.

After its release, the song was critically appreciated, but was only moderately successful commercially. It reached a peak of 32 on the Billboard Hot 100 and five on the Hot Black Singles chart. Its highest position was in the United Kingdom, where it reached two. "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" has been covered by a number of artists, including Morrissey–Mullen, Ms. Dynamite, Faith Evans, Mary J. Blige, City and Colour, and most notably by Madonna. Her version was included in her second studio album Like a Virgin (1984), and it was the idea of Michael Ostin, the head of the A&R department of Warner Bros. Records, that Madonna record a cover version of the song to include in the album. It was further included in her 1995 ballad compilation album Something to Remember, in a remixed form.

The original and the remixed version of the Madonna song differs in the usage of more classical instruments in the latter. The 1995 version also received a number of club remix treatments. Critics were not impressed with the version present in Like a Virgin, calling it "awful", while they warmed to the version present in Something to Remember. However, it was a commercial disappointment, reaching a peak of only 78 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was promoted by a music video shot by Jean-Baptiste Mondino, which portrayed Madonna in an empty suite of an abandoned hotel, and was shot in a single frame.

Background and music

Producer Norman Whitfield had always wanted to work with Paul Buckmaster, the British arranger and composer. One day he called Buckmaster and invited him to work on some recordings he had finished.[1] After meeting, they decided to contact songwriter Miles Gregory to use one of his songs for Whitfield's record group Rose Royce. Buckmaster found that Gregory was under medication from overuse of drugs and "was in considerable discomfort, if not in outright pain. He didn't write a song and dance about his pain, but I remember him sitting at the piano and wincing. So before jumping on the thing that Miles was merely indulging himself and writing, one has to remember that the guy was in a lot of pain."[1] Nevertheless, Whitfield and Buckmaster encouraged Gregory to write the song and the result was "Love Don't Live Here Anymore", inspired by Gregory's own situation and his deteriorating physical health.[1]

"Love Don't Live Here Anymore" incorporated the use of the Electronic LinnDrum machine[2], and was one of the first songs to effectively use the sound reverbs of the instrument. LinnDrum had been used sparingly in their previous single "Do Your Dance", but in "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" its use was more spontaneous, which Dave Thompson, author of Funk noted as if "it virtually duetted with Dickey, creating one of the most distinctive records of the year—and one of the most imitated of the age."[3] The song was mainly recorded at music contractor Gene Bianco's house, where Rose Royce lead singer Gwen Dickey was present during the recording. Buckmaster recalled: "I was over at [Gene's] place almost every day with Norman, and some days I stayed away to write, or to mix the music. Gene had given me the keys to his apartment, and also let me use the piano to record the song. I didn't want to work on at Miles' because his piano was falling to bits."[1]

Reception

Kenny Hill from The San Diego Union-Tribune said that the song "was a lasting impression of Rose Royce's brilliance as a group" and it proved that disco and R&B soul music was not dead."[4] Frederick Douglas from The Baltimore Sun complimented the song saying that "with their soul ballad 'Love Don't Live Here Anymore', Rose Royce is poised to take their place in the musical landscape as the greatest soul group."[5] Bob Kostanczuk from Post-Tribune listed "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" as Rose Royce's greatest song.[6] Jim Mortimer from Deseret News felt that "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" was a perfect example of how gospel and soul music can be clubbed together and complimented producer Buckmaster.[7] Shannon Kingly from Los Angeles Daily News felt that "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" is "a tad bit overrated, and is full of shouting."[8] "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" debuted at 91 on the Billboard Hot 100, and made a slow climb, ultimately reaching a peak of 32.[9] It was more successful on the Hot Black Singles chart, where it reached five, and stayed there for four weeks.[9] In Canada, the song debuted at 100 on the RPM Singles Chart on December 23, 1978.[10] The song began a slow climb, and after nine weeks reached a peak of 41 on the chart.[11] It was present for a total of 12 weeks on the chart.[12] In the United Kingdom, "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" became Rose Royce's biggest hit, reaching two on the UK Singles Chart.[13] Across Europe, the song failed to chart except in Netherlands, where it reached eleven.[14] The song was successful in Australia and New Zealand, where it reached positions four and two on the charts, respectively.[14][15]

Cover versions

An instrumental cover was recorded by the UK jazz-funk duo Morrissey–Mullen at EMI's London Abbey Road Studios in 1979 and was the first digital recording to be made of a non-classical ensemble. It was released as the first of the EMI Digital series in a limited edition 12" single.[18] Jimmy Nail's version was released in 1985 in his native United Kingdom, reaching number three on the UK Singles Chart.[19] Coincidentally, Australian band I'm Talking also released a version in late 1985. British dance music producers Double Trouble released a version of ‘Love Don’t Live Here Anymore’ as a single in 1990. Their arrangement had the vocals mixed over a House influenced backing track. A reggae version was released in 1997 by dancehall artist Bounty Killer and Swedish singer Robyn.[20] Ms. Dynamite used an interpolation of "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" in her song "She Don't Live Here Anymore", from her album Judgement Days (2005).[21] Another interpolation was used in MoKenStef's song "Stop Callin' Me", for their 1995 album Azz Izz, replacing the original line with "Your man don't live here anymore."[22] Faith Evans recorded it as a duet with Mary J. Blige on her 1995 album Faith.[23] Melissa Totten recorded a Hi-NRG cover for her 2008 dance album Forever Madonna.[24] In 2010, Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill sampled the chorus of the song for his track "Love Done Live Here", from his Dreamchasers mixtape.

Madonna version

"Love Don't Live Here Anymore"
Song

Background

Madonna covered "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" for her second studio album, Like a Virgin, in 1984. It was originally given a single release in March 1986 as a 7" vinyl in Japan only[26] and was given a full release in 1996 as it was included on the 1995 ballads hits compilation Something to Remember. The idea to cover the song was actually Michael Ostin's, the head of the A&R department of Warner Bros. Records.[27] In author Warren Zanes book Revolutions in Sound: Warner Bros. Records, the First 50 Years, he recalled: "I had the good fortune of finding material that Madonna really responded to, 'Love Don't Live Here Anymore' for instance, which was the old Rose Royce record. I was driving into work one day and heard it on the radio, I called producer Nile Rodgers and Madonna, they were in the studio. I said, 'I have an idea,. You know the old Rose Royce record, 'Love Don't Live Here Anymore'? Why don't you try and record a version of it for Like a Virgin?"[27] Initially both Rodgers and Madonna were apprehensive of tackling an already well-known ballad, but later they decided that if Madonna wanted to bring diversity to the album, there could be no better song than "Love Don't Live Here Anymore".[27] The song was a favourite of Madonna, so when in 1995, she released the compilation, she included a remixed and reworked version of "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" produced by David Reitzas. The song was released as the second single from the album in North America and the third single in Europe and Australia.[28] The original 1986 release was included in the 1996 Japanese box set CD Single Collection on 3" CD single and includes the tracklisting from the 7" vinyl version.[29]

Composition

Madonna's version of the song begins with the sound of acoustic guitars and synth strings. Madonna's voice sounds high-pitched, eluding the deeper resonance of the tune.[19] After the first verse, Tony Thompson starts playing the drums, which moves along the rhythm of the song. Towards the end, Madonna sings the song like a soul singer and the song ends with a gasp of breath.[19] The song was recorded at Power Station Studio in Manhattan, New York. Rodgers recalled: "Madonna had never performed with a live orchestra before. I was very much into doing everything live, so I just said, 'Madonna, you go out there and sing and we will follow you.' At first Madonna was hesitant, but the live setting ended up producing memorable results. She sang and she was overcome with emotions and she started crying, but I left it on the record."[30]

The 1995 remix was quite different to the 1984 version.[31] It began with the sound of violins and Uilleann pipes, followed by Madonna beginning the first verse. As the song progresses, the sound of the violin fades in and the drum machine starts, and the piano is played along with it.[31] As the chorus is sang the third time, a bass drum is also added in the flow. The violin again fades in as Madonna sings "Through the windmills of my eye, Everyone can see the loneliness inside me."[31] Near the end, she utters the chorus a number of times, emphasizing on the word "anymore" and the phrase "live here anymore".[31] It ends with the Uilleann pipes fading out.[31] The song was also treated with remixes in various formats. SoulShock & Karlin made an R&B styled remix; while Marcus Schulz created a house remix. Madonna's voice were paired opposite an energetic beat, coupled with vibrant organ lines and blipping synth effects. The remixes were released as promotional 12" and CD singles on May 6, 1996.[32]

Critical response

Author Rikky Rooksby wrote in his book The Complete Guide to the Music of Madonna that Madonna's singing in the song "deserved a commendation for bravery and was a sign that she was going to set herself challenges."[33] Stephen Thomas Erlewine from Allmusic, while reviewing Like a Virgin, wrote that the cover of the song was "well worth hearing".[34] Debbie Bull from Rolling Stone was of the same opinion, saying that "her torchy ballad 'Love Don't Live Here Anymore' is awful."[35] Larry Flick from Billboard complimented both the versions of the song, calling the first version as "a lush slice of symphonic pop" and the other as an "old-school, jeep-soul cruiser. Both arrangements perfectly suit her vocal, which is rife with emotional belts and theatrical gasps. [...] David Reitzas string-laden version will please those who never got enough of the previous single 'You'll See'. The bottom line is that this will likely be another smash for an artist whose stock as a credible musical entity deservedly rises with each release."[36] He also complimented the dance remixes of the song, saying that "when combined, [Marcus Schultz house remix] keyboard lines add up to a very pastel, tea-dance ready twirler. His five mixes lean largely towards the middle of the club road."[32] Liz Smith, while reviewing the Something to Remember album in Newsday, felt that all of Madonna's vocal trainings that she received while shooting for the film Evita, had "paid off, because the La M's second single sounds wonderful, and is a step up from the previous haunting 'You'll See'."[37] Dorothy Holmes from Telegram & Gazette said that "'Love Don't Live Here Anymore' sounds like her perfect adult contemporary staple."[38]

Chart performance

In the United States, "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" debuted at the top of the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles, a position comparable to 101 on the main Billboard Hot 100.[39] After two weeks, it debuted at 91 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Madonna's 36th entry on the chart, and her first entry with a remake of someone else's single.[40] The song ultimately reached only a peak of 78, and was present for only eight weeks on the chart.[41][42] On June 8, 1996, the song was one of the breakout tracks for the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.[42] It debuted at 39 on the chart and reached 30 the next week, becoming the Power Pick song of the chart.[43][44] It ultimately reached a peak of 16 on the chart.[45] It debuted on the Hot Adult Contemporary Chart at 30, and reached a peak of 29, the next week.[46] In Canada, the song debuted at 99 on the RPM Singles Chart, on May 6, 1996.[47] After eight weeks, the song reached a peak of 24 on the chart.[48] It was present on the chart for 12 weeks.[49] Across Europe, the song charted in France at 48, and also reached 27 in Australia.[50]

Music video

The music video was directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino, who worked with Madonna in her videos for "Open Your Heart", "Justify My Love" and "Human Nature", and shot on March 4, 1996, at the Confitería El Molino in Buenos Aires, Argentina, during her day off from filming Evita.[51] Maria Gallagher was the producer, with Jean-Yves Escoffier serving as director of photography. It was a Bandits Production.[52] In her Evita diaries, published by Vanity Fair magazine in 1996, Madonna made reference to the video shoot. In her writings, she specifically mentioned forgetting the lyrics of the song, suggesting she was having an identity crisis of sorts, trying to juggle her own identity with that of her role of Eva Perón in Evita.[51] Madonna was also in the early stages of her pregnancy with daughter Lourdes while making the video. Hence, she felt great stress while shooting it, which led her to forget the lyrics. She said,

"There are no words to describe the weariness I feel today. I have not slept well in days, and when I do, there is no comfort. My dreams are violent and full of betrayal. Like my life, there's no escape. I feel the responsibility of this film. I cannot talk about Evita and her life without defending myself ... Dear God, what have I gotten myself into? What is happening to me? Today we went to shoot a music video for my next song. But I kept forgetting the lyrics, and felt like crying each and every time I did it. It was so frustrating. It's my own song!"[53]

The video features Madonna at the empty suite of an abandoned hotel, a similar setting to her "Like a Virgin" music video. It was shot in a single frame, with the camera approaching Madonna, as she stands behind a pillar. She rotates around it and sings the song, as air blows through the room.[54] The video ends with Madonna looking up towards the camera the last time, and then closing her eyes. It was treated with sepia color.[54] Carol Vernallis, author of Experiencing music video: aesthetics and cultural context felt that the video was a good example of how image can direct the viewer's attention towards the shift in instrumentation and arrangement of the song. She noted the aimless movement of the camera towards her as "bringing focus to the main subject, with the viewer's attention fully captured."[54]
