Rich Love, Poor Love is a collaboration album by singers Syreeta and G.C. Cameron, released by Motown in 1977.
Both were two of the finest singers at Motown and despite several efforts, neither could get a solo career going. So, Motown did something they typically do with struggling performers, unite them for a duet. Produced by Michael L. Smith, this album combined typical disco with lush ballads to showcase the performers' versatility. Despite high praise from Billboard Magazine and numerous other trade publications and some initial promotion from Motown, the album and lone single (Let's Make A Deal) failed to catch on with radio programmers or record buyers. Cameron would leave Motown, Syreeta would finally get a huge hit with Billy Preston 2 years later (With You I'm Born Again.)
