From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Prisoner Of Love" is a popular song.
The music was written by Russ Columbo and Clarence Gaskill, the lyrics by Leo Robin. The song was published in 1931.
The song was popularized by Columbo and later became a major hit for Perry Como. It was also revived by James Brown in 1963.
Como's first recording was made on December 18, 1945. This recording was released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 20-1814-B. It first reached the Billboard magazine charts on March 30, 1946 and lasted 3 weeks on the chart, peaking at #1. The flip side was "All Through the Day." The recording was re-released in 1949, by RCA Victor, as a 78rpm single (catalog number 20-3298-A) and a 45rpm single (catalog number 47-2886), with the flip side "Temptation." He also recorded the song in February, 1946 for a V-Disc, number CS-656-B, and again in July 1970 in a live performance in Las Vegas, issued as a long-playing album (titled In Person At The International Hotel, Las Vegas in its United States and United Kingdom releases, Perry Como In Person in its Japanese release, and Perry Como In Concert in its Dutch release).
