"Love Ain't Love" is the second solo single released by Florence Ballard of the Supremes.
History
In 1967, Florence Ballard was fired by Motown Records founder Berry Gordy Jr.. As part of her release from Motown, no mention could be made that Flo had been a part of the best-selling trio. Florence signed with ABC Records in 1968, and quickly started work on her solo album. "It Doesn't Matter How I Say It (It's What I Say That Matters)" b/w "Goin' Out Of My Head" (ABC Records #45-11074A/B) was released in 1968 with little fanfare. As it failed to chart, a second single, "Love Ain't Love" was released. When that too failed to chart, plans to release an album, tentatively titled "Flo, You Don't Have To", were shelved.
This album, plus extras, was eventually released in 2002 under the name The Supreme Florence Ballard.
