Finder of Lost Loves is a studio album by American singer Dionne Warwick. It was released by Arista Records on January 24, 1985, in the United States. Warwick worked with Richard Landis, Barry Manilow, and Stevie Wonder on the majority of the album, though she also reunited with Burt Bacharach for the first time in over a decade.
The title track of the album was originally recorded by Warwick with Luther Vandross (who had produced Warwick's previous album How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye in 1983), and used as the theme to the short-lived TV series Finder of Lost Loves (1984-85). The version on this album, which was released as the first single, was recorded as a duet with Warwick and Glenn Jones, though the version with Vandross would be included as a bonus track on the 2014 expanded edition of the album, along with a solo version just featuring Warwick herself.
The album also includes a cover of the Bee Gees song "Run to Me" performed as a duet with Manilow as well as two duets with Wonder, which had previously been released on Wonder's soundtrack album to The Woman in Red.
The track "No One in the World" would be covered (with greater success) by vocalist Anita Baker the following year, for her hit album Rapture (1986). Warwick would release the song again on her 1987 album Reservations for Two.
The Finder of Lost Loves album peaked at number 106 on the US Billboard 200 chart.
