"Sea of Love" is a song written by John Philip Baptiste (better known as Phil Phillips) and George Khoury.

At Khoury's request, Baptiste took the stage name of Phil Phillips.

The song, originally credited to Phil Phillips with The Twilights, was released on a small record label owned by Khoury, but due to its success it was eventually leased to Mercury Records.

Despite the success of "Sea of Love", Phillips claimed that he only ever received US$6,800 for recording it.

[5] In 1959, it sold over one million copies and was awarded a gold disc.
