It was produced by former Motown songwriter and producer Norman Whitfield for Whitfield Records . Lead vocals were sung by Gwen Dickey and the song was released as the second single from their third studio album Rose Royce III: Strikes Again! The song was developed as a result of producer Whitfield's interest to work with Paul Buckmaster, the British arranger and composer . Together they asked songwriter Miles Gregory to write a song for them . Gregory's deteriorating physical health became the inspiration behind the song . "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" incorporated the use of the Electronic LinnDrum machine, and was one of the first songs to effectively use the sound reverbs of the instrument . The song was mainly recorded at music contractor Gene Bianco's house, where Dickey was present during the recording . </P> <P> After its release, the song was critically appreciated, but was only moderately successful commercially . It reached a peak of 32 on the Billboard Hot 100 and five on the Hot Black Singles chart . Its highest position was in the United Kingdom, where it reached two . "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" has been covered by a number of artists, including Madonna, Morrissey--Mullen and Faith Evans . Madonna's version was included in her second studio album Like a Virgin (1984), and it was the idea of Michael Ostin, the head of the A&R department of Warner Bros. Records, that Madonna record a cover version of the song to include in the album . A remix of Madonna's cover was included in her 1995 ballad compilation album Something to Remember . </P>
