Hi pop, how sure are you that the LP edit was played on the radio? I’m also in NYC and before reading your post i was 100% certain that 95.5, Z100 and 106.7 all played the single mix....? I remember being taken aback upon hearing this very different mix from what i was used to on the album (since the album had been out quite a while). I remember thinking they went “all bruce hornsby” on this one! Edited by Michaeldila |

Michaeldila,
I am sure. I listened to 95.5, Z100 and 106.7 (and later WKTU, which was awesome back then!) as well. It is possible both mixes were played, but the LP Edit has that 15 second intro which makes it instantly memorable. No objection to both being the hit version (hey it's the 90's and there are like 10 versions of every song!)and the LP Edit is on the CD single, which gives it more credence. When I listen to the Single Mix I cringe. Talk about slow and drawn out! The LP Edit is a more pumped up exciting mix. If I was at radio then I would choose it. In 2018 both Michael W. Smith and Amy Grant would find it near impossible to have these hits in the top 10 nevertheless the top 100 now. It was a different time. |

I was in such a bubble in the 90's because it was years before i found out how many different mixes of songs there were! In some cases (like michael w smith) i'm still finding new versions.... PS .... i agree WKTU was awesome back then! Edited by Michaeldila |

Well, the LP version is the flip side of the cassingle,
so I think either could legitimately be considered the "45 version" as well. |

Good point, Brian. It seems that in the '90s the A-side of the cassingle was often times not the same mix as what CHR radio played.

In L.A. I believe I heard the single mix of "That's What Love Is For" on KIIS-FM. I strongly dislike that mix. I agree with others that the LP mix is much better. But KIIS has been much more urban leaning since at least the '90s, so it didn't surprise me that they played the single mix and not the album mix, as it fit their sound more.

The guitar solo was completely eliminated and it may have had an out of sequence edit before they removed the solo. Just going from memory, though. |

There's another version of the video that has the Single Mix. It's on her Greatest Hits 1986-2004 DVD. I'm almost certain I saw it on VH1 at the time. I've got to respectfully disagree with most of the comments about the LP Mix vs. the Single Mix. I was never really a big fan of the LP Mix as it seems slow and more focused on the strings part of it. The Single Mix has more of a nice, steady groove and flows better into the chorus IMO. I seem to recall both versions having airplay on stations around here, but I think the Single Mix had more overall play. I know I heard the LP Mix on one particular AC Station at the time, which is the first time I had ever heard that mix and was shocked by how different it was. |
