A 1987 version by American singer
Glenn Medeiros reached number 12 on the US
Billboard Hot 100, and topped the charts in Canada and the United Kingdom. It also topped the charts in a further four countries in Europe. Medeiros also recorded the song in Spanish under the title "Nada cambiará mi amor por ti". The music video features Medeiros strolling around a beach with a girl in a pink dress.
Background and release Medeiros originally released the song on a small independent label at the age of 16 in 1986, after winning Brown Bags to Stardom, a local radio talent contest at KIKI radio, in his hometown of
Honolulu. Jay Stone, the program director and future producer of the song, convinced Medeiros to record it and make it his first release, as Benson's "
The Greatest Love of All", another Michael Masser composition, had been a No. 1 hit for Whitney Houston earlier that year. Guy Zapoleon, program director of
KZZP in
Phoenix was on vacation in Honolulu where his friend Jay Stone asked him to listen to the song on KIKI. Zapoleon loved the song and took the record back to Phoenix, where it debuted on KZZP in October 1986. By January 1987, the song hit No. 2 for four weeks, then through word of mouth to other program directors, the airplay spread with other stations having top 5 success with the song and by June 1987 the song had become a national hit. The song was featured in a late 1987 episode of the US daytime soap opera
Days of Our Lives as well as 1988 episodes of
As the World Turns,
The Bold and the Beautiful,
One Life To Live and
General Hospital. It was also used in a 1989 episode of
Santa Barbara. The song reached No. 1 in June 1988 in the United Kingdom and stayed at the top for four weeks. In 2009, the song was used in France in a television advert for Spontex sponges. The song was additionally used in a commercial for
Thinkbox in the UK in 2015. During the same year, the song was used in an episode of British soap opera
Coronation Street, in which characters
