Review
While the timeless radio ballad "Always" is the centerpiece of this album (not to mention a few of the more weepy wedding receptions out there), Atlantic Starr's 1987 effort, All in the Name of Love, does feature some solid additional work from the longstanding urban contemporary group. The uplifting "Let the Sun In" features the smooth lead vocals of David Lewis and Wayne Lewis, and percolates with lightly funky bass and inspired percussion. Meanwhile, "You Belong With Me" takes a darker lyrical turn, but is still a solid slice of sanitized, late-'80s urban radio groove. The album could have used more vocals from the talented Barbara Weathers, but it's still a well-appointed record that offers fans much more than just the Whitney-flavored single. ~ Johnny Loftus, Rovi| All In the Game (1977 Album by George Freeman) | |

All In The Name Of Love is a hit album by the R&B band Atlantic Starr recorded in 1986 and released in early 1987. It was their debut album for Warner Bros. Records after seven years with A&M Records. It featured the band's biggest hit on the pop charts, "Always" as well as the top ten R&B follow-up, "One Lover at a Time" and the late-1986 single "Armed and Dangerous," which was also the title track from that year's film, Armed and Dangerous. It was after this album that then-lead singer Barbara Weathers left the band to begin a solo career. Founding bandmember Duke Jones, who left the band very early on in their career appears on this album, playing flugelhorn.
