“Only Love” is a song performed by the Greek singer Nana Mouskouri. Originally, it was released in 1984 with “Alone” on the B-side. It became one of her most popular and enduring songs, known for its emotional depth and Mouskouri’s distinct vocal delivery.
The song “Only Love” is the English version of “L’Amour en Héritage,” which was originally the theme song for the French TV series “Mistral’s Daughter,” based on the novel by Judith Krantz. The English lyrics were written by Norman Gimbel, while the original music was composed by Vladimir Cosma.
“Only Love” achieved considerable commercial success, particularly in Europe. In the UK, the song reached number 2 on the Singles Chart in January 1986, making it one of Mouskouri’s most successful hits in that region. It also charted well in other countries, including number one in Ireland, Belgium, and the Netherlands. The song was also a hit in its other versions: “L’Amour en Héritage” (French), “Come un’eredità” (Italian), “La dicha del amor” (Spanish), and “Aber die Liebe bleibt” (German).
