"Love Overboard" is a Grammy Award-winning 1987 single by Gladys Knight and the Pips. The single was significant because it was the first Top 40 hit for the group in over a decade, and their final Pop Top 40 release as well.

"Love Overboard" was the group's last of ten #1 hits on the Hot Black Singles chart. It crossed over to #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart as well.[1] The single was also successful on the dance charts, peaking at number four.[2] It also peaked at #59 on the Canada RPM Top 100 Singles chart.
