Clivillés & Cole – Pride (In The Name Of Love) (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1991

A. Front

Martin Luther King Jr. Day (US)

“Pride (In the Name of Love)” is a song originally recorded by Irish rock band U2 in 1984 Written about Martin Luther King, Jr.

In 1991, successful record producers and remixers Clivillés + Cole, released acover version of U2’s “Pride (In the Name of Love)”, but it was the B-side song “A Deeper Love”, featuring vocals by Deborah Cooper (a long time Clivillés and Cole vocalist) and Paul Pesco that proved to be a hit, peaking at No. 15 in the UK. Deborah Cooper performed “Deeper Love” various times, including on Saturday Night Live with Clivillés and Cole’s C+C Music Factory. Both sides charted on the Billboard Hot 100 in the spring of 1992: “A Deeper Love” peaked at #44, while “Pride (In The Name Of Love)” reached #54. The video for these songs was actually one long featurette, beginning with “Deeper Love” and then continuing into “Pride (In The Name Of Love)” halfway through the video. The video was labelled “Pride (A Deeper Love)”. Some networks preferred to show the videos separately while others played the whole length. In 1992 as Clivillés + Cole an album was released called “Greatest Remixes Vol. 1” featuring remixes of other artist songs by the duo.

In 1994 Aretha Franklin covered “A Deeper Love” from the film Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit. Franklin actually hired Clivillés + Cole to produce the album version as well as the remixes. Thus, the song was a hit for the duo twice in two different incarnations within a 3-year time span.
