"Most Precious Love" is a 2004 house song produced, written and recorded by the American duo Blaze, featuring the musical collective ensemble U.D.A.U.F.L. (the acronym for Underground Dance Artists United For Life), with vocals performed by singer Barbara Tucker. The single's history is unique in itself, having been released twice and with new mixes, as well as a 16-week climb to number one on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart,[1] reaching the top spot on June 4, 2005, giving Tucker her sixth chart topper.[2] In the United Kingdom, the single charted twice, peaking at 44 in 2005, then again with a new mix by the Freemasons (sans the U.D.A.U.F.L. credits, and rebilled as "Barbara Tucker featuring Blaze"), peaking much better at number 17 in 2006.[3][4][5] The song also peaked at number 92 on the Australian ARIA Charts.[6]
