Is This Love (Whitesnake song)

The power ballad ==Music video==

A music video was also made, featuring Coverdale's then-girlfriend actress Tawny Kitaen. The music video, which was directed by Marty Callner, depicts the band playing the song on a misty stage, intercut with scenes of Coverdale singing, Kitaen dancing and the two of them together. Due to Coverdale firing the other members of the band before the album was released, he is the only Whitesnake member present on both the recording and in the music video; this was the case for all music videos released for songs from the 1987 album (except for "Here I Go Again", Vandenberg performed the guitar solo on the recording and later appeared in the music video as well). It achieved heavy rotation on MTV. ==Commercial performance==

"Is This Love" reached number 13 on Billboards Mainstream Rock chart. It also peaked at number 38 on the Adult Contemporary chart in the US. ==Track listings==
