Any one know of any great thinkers or philosophers that dealt with love?

I tried google...no luck.

Certainly all of the great novelists, poets and playwrights have dealt with the subject far more than philosophers have. But the French writer Stendhal wrote an entire--and hugely readable and enjoyable--book entitled, in its English translation, On Love.
