"I Pledge My Love" is a ballad by R&B vocal duo Peaches & Herb from their LP, Twice the Fire.[1] It became a hit in early 1980 in the U.S. (#19) and Canada (#23).[2] It was also a Top 40 R&B and Adult Contemporary hit.
The song had an unusually long chart run for only just making the top-twenty, spending five months on the U.S. charts and six months on the Canadian charts. Billboard ranked it as the 80th biggest U.S. hit of 1980.[3] "I Pledge My Love" also reached number one on the New Zealand Singles Chart for one week in May 1980.[4]
