Lou Rawls singles chronology

"You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine" (written by Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff) is a song performed by R&B singer Lou Rawls on his 1976 album All Things in Time. The song proved to be Rawls' breakthrough hit, reaching number one on both the R&B^[1] and Easy Listening charts as well as number four on the dance chart^[2] and number two on the US Billboard Hot 100. This was the first and only time that one of Rawls' records reached Billboard's pop Top Ten. It was the first big hit for Philadelphia International to feature the reformulated MFSB, after many of the original members left Gamble and Huff for better opportunities.^[3] The song started Rawls' live shows from 1977 on.

The single went on to sell over a million copies and was certified gold by the RIAA.^[4]
