I Want to Know What Love Is

I Want to Know What Love Is by Foreigner was a UK number 1 hit on Saturday, January 19, 1985 spending 3 week(s) at the top of the UK charts. The New Jersey Mass Choir was brought in to sing the backing vocals, becoming the first gospel choir to appear on a #1 pop hit. Mick Jones knew he wanted a choir on the song and found the New Jersey Mass Choir through a bit of serendipity: they had the same lawyer. According to Jones, the choir's first attempts to sing their part in the studio didn't have the magic, but then they gathered in a circle, said the Lord's Prayer, and nailed it on the next take.
