"Now That We Found Love" (also known as "Now That We've Found Love") is a song written by Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff and originally recorded by The O'Jays for their album Ship Ahoy (1973). Cover versions have been an album track by Martha Reeves (1976), a reggae-disco hit by the reggae band Third World (1978) and a breakthrough hit for Heavy D & The Boyz (1991). The Third World version was released as a single in 1978 by Island Records and peaked at number 10 in the UK and #47 on the Billboard Hot 100. Heavy D's version of the song can be heard during the end of the movie Hitch, as well as at the end of the episode "Black Cadillac" (Season 1, Episode 4) from the TV series Ray Donovan. There is no evidence to suggest that the song contains any kind of harmony. The voices are in fact technically mastered into multiplication.
