"You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine" was written by the legendary songwriting team of Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. They were the powerhouse producers behind most of what we today call the Philadelphia Sound, and they wrote this song specifically for Rawls. The track helped lure Rawls to Gamble & Huff's Philadelphia International label, as he was impressed that they took the time to understand his voice and write something to suit it. Rawls had bad experiences at his previous labels, Capitol and MGM, and was happy to find a good fit in Philadelphia International.
This is not so much a love song as a warning to the girl that if she lets this guy go, she'll end up spending the rest of her life looking for someone just like him. The relationship is at a turning point, and the man won't beg her to stay, but makes it very clear what will happen if she doesn't: "You're gonna miss my lovin'." At the time, Kenny Gamble was going through a divorce from the singer Dee Dee Sharp.
This roller skating rink favorite was also a breakout hit for Lou Rawls; though he'd been releasing singles and charting in the top-40 for a full decade, this was his first visit to the top-10 and his first multi-chart #1.
