"Mountain of Love" is a song written by Harold Dorman. Dorman released his version as a single in 1960.

It was originally recorded in late 1959 at the Royal Recording Studios in Memphis before the backing vocals (and strings, much later) were overdubbed.

It performed well, spending 19 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 21 in May 1960, while reaching No. 7 on the Billboard Hot R&B Sides chart, and No. 25 on Canada's "CHUM Hit Parade".

The song was his only top forty hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and was the highest-charting single of his career.

In 1964, Johnny Rivers released his remake using members of the Wrecking Crew as a single.

It reached No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100.
