"Is This Love" is a song by British rock band Whitesnake. It was released in 1987 as the second single from their self-titled album.
The single was a hit for Whitesnake, reaching number nine in the UK Singles Chart and number two in the US singles chart (barred from the top spot by George Michael's smash hit "Faith"), making it their second-biggest US hit after "Here I Go Again", which hit number one. The single was reissued in 1994 to promote Whitesnake's Greatest Hits. This version reached number 25 on the UK Singles Chart.
The original Whitesnake version appears in a 2019 TV commercial for Amazon Prime.

Excellent Power ballad. David Coverdale's voice sounds great on it.

One of my favorite power ballads of the 80s. I love the production... the hauntingness, the atmosphere, the intensity of this song. Love AOR music!! ^__^

I love it. Not a fan of many of the late 80s power ballad rock hits, but I've always liked this one.

This song and others like it remind me of that "Monster Ballads" CD commercials I used to see a lot on TV. I'm not a fan of 80s hair metal/glam rock but if I were to pick a favorite Whitesnake song, it would be this one as "Here I Go Again" is overplayed to death on classic rock/hits and commercials lately. Every bad boy has a soft side. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c22VlShFh_U& |
