My Special Love is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter La Toya Jackson. Released in 1981, the album peaked at #175 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
The first single from the album was "Stay The Night", a cover of the 1980 Billy Ocean single, and was moderately successful. The second and final single was "I Don't Want You To Go", previously recorded by Lani Hall, which had a limited release and failed to chart. The album also includes rare groove classic "Camp Kuchi Kaiai", co-written with sister Janet who also contributes background vocals. Brother Randy produced two tracks on the album - their duet "Giving You Up" and the title track "My Special Love" which Randy later re-recorded with R&B star Betty Wright for her 1983 album Wright Back At You.
After the album's limited success, it fell into obscurity, receiving a limited re-release on CD in Japan in the early 1990s, which was quickly deleted. The album was the rarest album from LaToya but was re-released on CD in 2019 by Cherry Pop Records including several bonus tracks, among them "If You Feel the Funk" (7" Version) from her debut solo album.
