Florence and the Machine put their version of "You've Got the Love" on the 2009 EP A Lot of Love. A Lot of Blood., hauling an old club hit into their own candlelit chapel. The song goes back to 1986, a soul, disco and gospel cut by the Source with Candi Staton, penned by John Bellamy, Arnecia Michelle Harris and Anthony B. Stephens, then remixed and reissued in 1991, 1997 and 2006.
Charlie Hugall produced it and played extra bass, building a church out of pop parts: Isabella Summers on piano, Tom Moth's harp, Robert Ackroyd's guitar and Christopher Lloyd Hayden's drums. Florence Welch doesn't sing it so much as testify, dragging the gospel undertow up to the surface, and Cenzo Townshend's mix gives her all the room she needs. It climbed to number five on the UK chart.
