There Is No Greater Love is a 1936 jazz standard composed by Isham Jones with lyrics by Marty Symes. It was first recorded by Isham Jones' Orchestra with a vocal chorus by Woody Herman on February 3, 1936 and released that year. The tune became the last hit for Jones's band before he handed the leadership to Woody Herman, helping launch Herman’s long career as a bandleader. The piece is typically performed as a ballad or with a medium tempo swing, and has since become a staple of the jazz repertoire. Notable versions include Duke Ellington's 1936 recording, Billie Holiday's 1947 rendition, and Miles Davis’s appearance on the Miles album in 1955, among many others. It has been recorded on many albums, including Dinah Washington's Dinah Jams (1954) and Amy Winehouse's Frank (2003).
