"Our Love Will Stop the World" was a hit song in 1983 for soul singers Eric Mercury and Roberta Flack.
[2] Calling it a gentle love ballad, the review by Billboard said that the quiet interplay of voices with Mercury gruff and Flack smooth worked well.
[3] In comparison to Flack's work with Donny Hathaway, the Cash Box review said that the smokey quality of Mercury's pipes gave the song a decidedly different flavor but the results were no less pleasing.
[4] By February 5, 1983, Cash Box mentioned the single as "Up and Coming" for the Black Contemporary chart.
[9] By March 19, it was at #92 on the Cash Box Top 100 Black Contemporary Singles chart.
