Save Your Love (Renée and Renato song)


"Save Your Love" is a song which, when performed by duo Renée and Renato, was a UK Number one hit in December 1982. It remained at the top of the chart for four weeks before being knocked off by Phil Collins' "You Can't Hurry Love". The song was written by Johnny Edward and his wife Sue. John also produced the song and released it on his own label.
"Save Your Love" entered the UK Singles Chart on 13 November 1982 at number 38. However, it began to pick up sales during the Christmas period, and six weeks after its debut was at the top of the charts, resulting in it being played on Top of the Pops and many radio stations. It was the first ever totally indie number one and it sold some 980,000 copies. Renée, did not appear in the video for "Save Your Love"; instead, she was replaced by a model.
