Even though I know that Rose Royce did the original version of “Love Don’t Live Here Anymore,” I always think of Madonna’s version first. That annoys me. Don’t get me wrong, I love Madonna, but Rose Royce’s version is where it’s at. The instrumentation, the voice, the late ’70s wonderfulness…it’s all so great. Here, listen/download.
One more thing: though Rose Royce’s version may not have a video shot by Jean-Baptiste Mondino, it does have one that’s full o’ slow-burning funk.
