"Don't Hide Your Love" is a song released by American singer-actress Cher as the second single released from the album Foxy Lady. The song was written by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield. It hit number 46 on the Billboard Hot 100, and number 19 on the Adult Contemporary chart.[1]

Background

[edit]

Allmusic editor Joe Viglione wrote that this song should have been duet with the songwriter himself, because it would bring him back into the public eye (he was in the midst of reviving his career in the UK at the time and would return to American fame with "Laughter in the Rain" two years later).[2]
