"We Got Love" is a song co-written by Lynsey de Paul and Terry Britten. It was recorded by The Real Thing, and released as a single in 1984 as their first single on the RCA label, as well as being released as a 12 inch extended version and dub mix. It was produced by the American R&B producer, Nick Martinelli for Watchout Productions Inc with rhythm arrangement by Donald Robinson. The single was engineered by Bruce Weedon. The B-side of the single was a song called "Street Scene". The song received positive reviews and garnered media interest and became a dance floor hit, and is listed on the Internet Channel Radio's Euro Hits Dance 80's, together with a short sample of the song.
The song was play-listed by a number of European radio stations such as Radio Piccadilly, the first commercial radio station in Manchester (now Greatest Hits Manchester), and is still played on radio, more recently by the DJ Richard Marzetti on his Soul Life programme on Solar Radio, a radio station which traces its roots back to Radio Invicta,, where it was listed as #19 in the global funky chart, #40 in the global funk - soul - jazz chart and 74# in the global soul chart, as well as on FunkURadio.
De Paul released her own funky, jazzed up version of the song as a track on her 1994 re-invention album, Just a Little Time. According to de Paul's official internet site, the British 1980s soul group Imagination may have also recorded a version of the song.
