Looking for a love song with a female singer, here are some of the lyrics 'you got here right on time that's how we know its meant to be'. (I think) song with a music video in sepia where a depressed man walks through the streets and takes an ice cream from a little girl and throws it on the floor. Album: Remember Yesterday (P)(C) Casablanca Records (1977) USA Mezcla De Video Original Por: Sergio.
'Think About Love' is a song recorded by American country music artist Dolly Parton, first released on her 1985 Real Love album. The song, written by Richard 'Spady' Brannan and Tom Campbell, was an uptempo pop tune, employing (as did most of the other songs on Real Love) synthesizers and other distinctive pop flourishes. It was released as the album's third single in November 1985 and, despite its polished pop production, reached #1 on the U.S. country singles charts in March 1986; the single spent a total of fourteen weeks on the chart. The song was Parton's sixteenth number one country single as a solo artist.[1]
The song was remixed for its single version. The remixed version of the song also served as the title track on Parton's 1986 Think About Love album, which was composed of previously released tracks, many of which had been remixed. The single mix (the version played on the radio and available on 45) has never been released on any CD in the US or abroad. It was Parton's last chart-topper on RCA, her label of the previous nineteen years. (She would switch to Columbia Records in 1987).

Think About Love was a 1986 compilation of previously released Dolly Parton tracks, many of which were presented in remixes or alternate takes. RCA Records released the album after Parton had left the label. The project was helmed by Mark Wright, an executive at RCA in Nashville at the time, and it remains unclear to what extent, if any, Parton was involved in the selection of songs or in the remixing process. The album is also unusual in that it only features one Parton original, 'Do I Ever Cross Your Mind'.
Of the eight tracks, only three appear to be unaltered from their original release: 'It's Such a Heartache', 'Tie Our Love (In a Double Knot)' and 'Even a Fool Would Let Go'. The other tracks have all been modified in various ways. 'Think About Love' differs dramatically from the version on Real Love with the addition of the lyric 'Think about love' before the bridge, a shortened instrumental section, much louder drum overdubs and a punchier mix overall. This version is actually the single remix and is the version that was played on the radio during its chart run and released on 45, but it has never been re-released on any CD anywhere in the world. 'We Had It All' is a completely different vocal take from the version on The Great Pretender. Instead of the piano being the primary instrument, this time the song is driven by an acoustic guitar. This remixed version of 'We Had It All' was released as a single in the fall of 1986 and would reach number 31 on the country singles chart in the U.S.; it would be Parton's final charting single during her tenure with RCA.
