Stubborn Love is the first album by Christian singer/songwriter Kathy Troccoli, released in 1982 on Reunion Records.[2] Stubborn Love was reportedly the best-selling debut album by a contemporary Christian music female artist. The title song was a hit on Christian radio reaching number two on the Christian AC chart. The album also features her cover of "You're All I Need to Get By" written by Ashford and Simpson, made famous in 1968 by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell but with Christian lyrics. Stubborn Love was re-issued on CD in 1994 with a new album cover with an updated photo of Troccoli. The album peaked at number 26 on the Billboard Inspirational Albums chart in 1983.
