Como's first recording was made on December 18, 1945 and released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 20-1814-B. It first reached the Billboard magazine charts on March 30, 1946 and lasted 3 weeks on the chart, peaking at #1. The flip side was "All Through the Day".

James Brown revived "Prisoner of Love" in 1963. It was his first recording to enter the pop Top 20. The studio recording was arranged by Sammy Lowe.He performed the song live with his vocal group , The Famous Flames on the concert film [The T.A.M.I.Show] , and on a mid-sixties telecast of The Ed Sullivan Show. The Flames, however, were not used on the studio recording, having been replaced,in this instance,by a female chorus.
