The Name Is Love
The Name Is Love is an album by the American musician Bobby Vinton, released in 1977. It was his final for ABC Records. Unlike most of his albums, the majority of the material on this album was written or co-written by Vinton himself. Cover versions include "Hold Me, [Thrill Me, Kiss Me]" and "Only Love Can Break a Heart". The song "You Are Love" did not become a hit until six years later.
This album is notable in that country singer Janie Fricke performs the backing vocals. Three singles were released from the album – "Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me", "Only Love Can Break a Heart", and "All My Today's".
