"Long Live Love" is the fifth single by 1960s British girl singer Sandie Shaw. It was her second Number One single in her home country, and was written by Chris Andrews. With its catchy tune, Shaw was so confident that the song would be a hit that she turned down the song "It's Not Unusual," which then became a very big hit for Welsh singer Tom Jones. Her instinct was indeed right and "Long Live Love" spent three weeks at the top of the UK singles chart in June of 1965.
The song was later recorded in 1983 by Tracey Ullman for her album You Broke My Heart In 17 Places and again in 1992 by actor Nick Berry and used in his television series Heartbeat. It was also a minor hit on the UK singles chart for Berry.
