Michael Bolton.
But...
-----------
"Singer Michael Bolton wasn’t so fortunate a few years ago. He was sued by the legendary soul group The Isley Brothers over Bolton’s song “Love is a Wonderful Thing.” In 1962 the Isleys had a minor hit in 1962 with a song of the same name. This alone wasn’t a problem (there were over 100 different songs entitled “Love is a Beautiful Thing” registered in various places). Bolton’s song, however, also had almost the same melody and internal structure as the Isleys’ song, which was a big problem. Bolton claimed to never have heard the Isleys’ song, and the Isleys had to prove otherwise. First they established that in 1962 Bolton was 16 years old, living in New Haven, a huge soul music fan, and a singer in a soul band. The Isleys established that Bolton listened to one particular R & B radio station in New Haven. Then they produced a disk jockey who had worked at that station in 1962! The DJ testified that in 1962 he played the Isleys’ song dozens of times. The inference, of course, was that Bolton must have heard the song on the radio. Then, to nail the coffin shut, the Isleys produced someone who had witnessed, some years before, a chance meeting between Bolton and Ron Isley, one of the Isley Brothers. Bolton reportedly gushed his admiration about the group, saying “I love you guys! I know every song you’ve ever done!” D’Oh! Case closed!"

i dont know but whoever wrote it may have wrote it after experiencing what love really is and i think it is a women rather than a man because i dont think man says love is beautiful.
