"Please Send Me Someone to Love" is a blues ballad, written and recorded by American blues and soul singer Percy Mayfield in 1950, for Art Rupe's Specialty Records. It was on the Billboard's R&B chart for 27 weeks and reached the number-one position for two weeks; it was Mayfield's most successful song.
It has been called a "multilayered universal lament". Mayfield sang it in a soft ballad style. Its appeal lay in the sensitivity of its lyrics in juxtaposing an awareness of a world in conflict with a personal expression of the need for love. Sung in Mayfield's gentle, suave vocal style, the lyrics were a combination of a romantic love ballad and a social message against discrimination. Some artists that have recorded the song: Dinah Washington, The Moonglows, Fred Neil, Toni Williams, Ruth Brown,
Freddie King, Paul Butterfield, The Animals, James Booker, Leigh Harris and Larry Sieberth, B.B. King and Mick Hucknall, Sade, Grover Washington Jr., Fiona Apple, John Oates.
