美國歌手／詞曲家［賈姬德莎儂］──流行經典──［What the World Needs Now Is Love／這世界現在所需是愛］

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

Its the only thing that theres just too little of

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

No, not just for some but for everyone

Lord, we dont need another mountain

There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb

There are oceans and rivers enough to cross

Enough to last till the end of time

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

Its the only thing that theres just too little of

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

No, not just for some but for everyone

Lord, we dont need another meadow

There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow

There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine

Oh, listen, lord, if you want to know

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

Its the only thing that theres just too little of

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

No, not just for some, oh, but just for ever, every, everyone

What the world needs now is love, sweet love (oh, is love)

What the world needs now is love, sweet love (oh, is love)

What the world needs now is love, sweet love (oh, is love)

賈姬德莎儂（Jackie DeShannon, １９４１－）是搖滾年代最早的美國女性歌手兼詞曲家之一

６歲便在家鄉地方廣播演唱鄉村歌曲

１９５６年發行首支單曲後, 直到１９６２年才有曲打入排行榜

１９６５年, 賈姬推出［What the World Needs Is Love］

此曲由Hal David&Burt Bacharach合寫,原本要給他們的愛將狄昂華薇克演唱,但被拒絕,所以轉到２４歲的賈姬手上。（雖然狄昂後來仍灌錄了兩個版本）

［What the World Needs Now Is Love／這世界現在所需是愛］是首流行抒情曲, 在德莎儂抑揚頓挫的詮釋下極富感染力

此曲登上美國單曲榜＃７　加拿大冠軍

後來收在當年發行的大碟［This Is Jackie DeShannon］

［What the World Needs Is Love］爾後被眾多歌手翻唱, 也收在許多電影, 電視,已是公認的流行經典
