Like Someone In Love is a 1960 album by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. It was recorded for the Blue Note label at the Van Gelder Studios in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey and ran 39 minutes and 56 seconds. It was produced by Alfred Lion and the cover design was created by Reid Miles with photograph provided by Francis Wolff.

The title is taken from the popular song of the same name composed in 1944 by Jimmy Van Heusen, with lyrics by Johnny Burke. It was written (along with “Sleigh Ride in July”) for the 1944 film Belle of the Yukon,  and has since become a jazz standard.

The personnel on this session were leader and drummer Art Blakey, Lee Morgan on trumpet and flugelhorn, tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter, pianist Bobby Timmons and Jymie Merritt on bass.

The album was recorded in two sessions on August 7 (#3, 4, 6) and August 14 (#1, 2, 5), 1960 rendering the tunes Like Someone in Love, Johnny’s Blue (Morgan), Noise in the Attic (Shorter), Sleeping Dancer Sleep On (Shorter), Giantis (Shorter), and Sleeping Dancer Sleep On (Alternate Take and Bonus Track On CD).
