"Everybody Needs Love" is a 1964 Motown song by Norman Whitfield and Edward Holland, Jr.. The first version released (but not recorded) was by The Temptations for their album "The Temptin' Temptations" in 1965 (it also got airplay on some radio stations in the U.S.), but the most successful version was on a single by Gladys Knight & the Pips, which peaked at #39 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, and #3 on the Billboard R&B singles charts, in 1967. Other Motown acts that recorded this song were Mary Wells (who was the first to record it), The Velvelettes, and The Miracles. All versions of the song was produced by Whitfield.
