"You Wouldn't Know Love" is a song written by Michael Bolton and Diane Warren appearing in 1989 on Bolton's Soul Provider album and Cher's Heart of Stone album. The song was only released as a single in Europe and Australasia by Cher in 1990. Cher's version of the song was produced by Bolton. It was a minor success in the UK, faring better in Ireland. Michael Landau played the guitar solo in the middle of the song on both Cher and Bolton’s versions of the song.
The Daily Vault's Mark Millan stated, "Another gem on the record is the rocker "You Wouldn't Know Love" that keeps the momentum running superbly."[2] David Giles from Music Week wrote that it "is a lot more steadfastly MOR and what you'd expect considering that Michael Bolton co-wrote and produced it. Probably a substantial hit."[3]
Bolton's own version appeared on his album, Soul Provider, which peaked at number 3 on the Billboard albums chart. The album was certified 6× Platinum by the RIAA in 1994.
