Hello. I’m Gail Nobles. Welcome to Multi-Tunes. Today’s topic is Durell Coleman.
In 1985, Durell Coleman released a memorable single titled "Somebody Took My Love," which quickly captured the attention of music lovers. The song reached number 12 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, becoming his most notable hit.

The accompanying music video added to the song's charm with a heartfelt story. It follows Durell, who falls deeply in love with a waitress. However, she leaves her job to pursue a career in modeling, leaving Durell feeling lonely and abandoned. The video keeps viewers on the edge of their seats, wondering if they will reunite as it unfolds, culminating in a touching happy ending when she returns to him.

Fans couldn’t help but connect with the emotional message of the song. The catchy chorus was so engaging that it often made listeners sing along:

“Love, love / Somebody took my love, love / How can this be? / She said, 'Always be there for me.'”

The soulful vocals and Richard Marx's writing made "Somebody Took My Love" a staple on R&B charts, showcasing Durell's deep emotional range. It’s a song that many still enjoy today, reminding them of the powerful feelings of love and longing.
