Yes I prefer Del's song, also that song lends itself to different treatments, as demonstrated by the fact that Del himself recorded a fast version and a slow one.
Here's a very silly one:
Alice Cooper - Poison
Bardot - Poison
No clips this time. You probably know the Alice Cooper one, and I will not inflict the other one on you.Bardot were a manufactured girl band from one of those TV "talent quest" shows.

Power of Love - Huey, Jennifer, Frankie... ...and, as I recall, all on the charts at the same time, or nearly so. I thought at the time that it was remarkable.
Frankie wins that contest easily, for me.
Jennifer Rush's song is OK as ballads go.
I hated Huey Lewis and the News with a passion, and still do.

Her cover of Bob Lind's "Elusive Butterfly" is acknowledged by most Lind fans, as well as Lind himself, as one of the best interpretations of that much-recorded song.

For me Jennifer wins this one, but not by far... And Huey Lewis is way behind those two other

nearly the same time bob_32...
FGTH was Christmas of 1984
Huey Lewis would have been 1985 as it was from the "back to the future" movie from that year,
Jennifer(I had to Wiki her), that was 1985 also
incidently,
the FGTH one became their third UK #1 hit after Relax and Two Tribes,
at that time they became only the second act to have the distinction of having their first three singles all top the UK charts,
who was the first act you might ask?
another Liverpudlian group twenty years earlier....Gerry And The Pacemakers

Contemporary with Humperdink and the Beatles?
