Wikipedia article
"'That's Love'" is a song by English singer Billy Fury with vocal group the Four Jays, released as a single in May 1960. It peaked at number 19 on the UK Singles Chart.
Release and reception
"That's Love" was released as the only single from Fury's debut album 'The Sound of Fury', yet neither single nor album were particularly successful, with both only briefly appearing on their respective charts. As with the rest of the album, "That's Love" and its B-side "You Don't Know" were written by Fury, although the latter under the pseudonym Wilber Wilberforce.
Reviewing for 'Disc', Don Nicholl described Fury as "rocking on a comfortable winner in "That's Love"" and that "it should register happily in all the juke areas and I am also tipping it to climb into the big selling league". He also described "You Don't Know" as "almost a talker. Extremely slow with piano and guitar behind Billy. I think he tends to over-dramatise this half".
