"My Love" is the title of a 1983 hit song by the American singer-songwriter Lionel Richie. It was the third single released off Richie's self-titled debut solo album. The song features harmony backing vocals by country music singer Kenny Rogers. It reached the Top 10 on three notable Billboard magazine charts in the spring of 1983: on the pop chart, the song peaked at # 5; on the adult contemporary chart, the song spent four weeks at # 1; and on the R&B chart, the song topped out at # 6. "My Love" was not among Richie's more successful singles in the United Kingdom, where it managed # 70 on the UK Singles Chart.
Later, a remake of the song was recorded and included on Richie's 2012 album "Tuskegee". The remake features another singer named "Kenny": Kenny Chesney.
