That's the Way Love Is (Ten City song)

"That's the Way Love Is" is a 1989 dance and soul single by Chicago-based dance trio, Ten City. The single reached number eight in the UK and number eighteen in Germany and was the group's highest charting single on both the R&B and dance charts in the U.S. "That's the Way Love Is" reached number twelve on the U.S R&B Singles chart,^[1] and number one on the Dance Club Play chart.^[2] The single featured two main versions - on most releases, an acid house mix by Steve "Silk" Hurley (variously titled either "Deep House Mix" or "Acieeed Mix") was the A-side, while a string-led mix by Timmy Regisford, named the "Underground Mix", appeared on the B-side. Both mixes also had corresponding radio edits and dub versions.

Ten years later, former lead singer of Ten City, Byron Stingily, returned to the top of the dance chart with his own recording of the song.^[3]
