Mary Love Comer, (b 27 July 1943, Sacramento, California), known in the early part of her career as Mary Love, is an American soul and gospel singer.

Born Mary Ann Varney, she began singing on sessions in Los Angeles before recording â??You Turned My Bitter Into Sweetâ?? for the Modern record label in 1965. Later records for the label met with little success until "Move a Little Closer," which made the R&B chart in 1966. Her recordings for Modern subsequently became popular on the English Northern soul scene. She revisited the lower reaches of the R&B chart with "The Hurt Is Just Beginning" for Roulette in 1968, but thereafter made few recordings for some years.

In the early 1980s she re-emerged as Mary Love Comer, singing gospel-flavoured soul with a Christian message. With husband Brad Comer she now runs her own church in Tennessee.
