World's Greatest Love Songs?

[TimothyH]

Great song there! I know too many to name them all but here are some great ones off the top of my head. All oldies. And you can slow dance to them!

When a man loves a woman - Percy Sledge
Earth Angel - The Penguins
Try me - James Brown
Natural High - Bloodstone
We Belong Together -Ritchie Valens
Im so proud - The impressions

Man, Percy can sing! That’s some good music right there.

Yikes!

It’s a simple thing, we don’t need a ring
Our love is easy

No, no, no…

-Tim-

I had this song stuck in my head all day today.

“You are my Lady” Freddie Jackson

Great love song from 1985 in the true RNB fashion.

[chevalier]

Polish, “Oh my rosemary.” Goes back to WW1 cav. I might actually translate it when I’m in the right mood (after replacing Pollack booze with bourbon it’d probably sound like a civil war song). In brief, rosemary is stuff that you put on graves, a young cavalryman’s life expectancy on the eastern front isn’t really that high, and, long story short, “death will kiss me but you will not.”

Awww, this one was included in my favorite movie, The Dish. Which although not a ‘romantic movie’, does include a very sweet, innocent love-story as one of the subplots.

 

[ManOnFire]

This thread rocks

 

[Crescentinus]

This thread rocks

Indeed.
Now, this thread needs more love songs from anime.

 

[BlueEyedLady]

God Only Knows-Beach Boys

More-Harry Connick Jr. (Yes Sinatra did it first, but HCJ made it his own, and it’s amazing.)

I Will Follow You into the Dark-Death Cab for Cutie (Not a great band, but that song brings me to tears every time.)

 

[jazzy0710]

youtube.com/watch?v=Y8ZXkoRTI3Q “Takin a chance on love” Ethel Waters :hug3:

Growing up in the 70s and 80s, I failed to appreciate the earthy romanticism of my parents’ music of the 70s. I now find myself listening to more of it lately, although that desire never would have occurred in the 80s. Bread is awesome. The music of the last 2 decades is nothing like it. Progressives believe that too much love = too much pain. Better to feed the people with physical and chemical pleasure in the new age. Less pain that way.

I long for the old illuminati. The new illuminati sux.

 

[LaughingBoy1503]

youtube.com/watch?v=riBsOHkApmU Bread - Make it with you

:

Have you heard Ralfi Pagan’s(pronounced Pah-Gahn) version of "make it with you? While it is probably not as well known as The Original version by Bread (depends who you ask) and Ralfi Pagan is definitly not as well known, I like his version better and it is a great love song indeed.

youtu.be/aI0YcHLs9nA Make it with you “Ralfi Pagan”

 

[Soren_Itenu]

“Arise My Love”, by Michael Card

It’s based on the Song of Solomon and is well worth listening to!

 

[mary_bobo]

“If Ever I Would Leave You”------Robert Goulet
“You Had Me From Hello”-----Kenny Chesney
“I Dreamed a Dream”-----Susan Boyle
“Remember Me This Way”-----Jordan Hill
“The Way You Look Tonight”—Frank Sinatra
“Danny Boy”----Three Irish Tenors and Mario Lanza
“Because You’re Mine”—Lanza
“My Son”—Frank Patterson—song from father to son. Beautiful

 

[ManOnFire]

I wonder if the illuminati decided that too much deep love was too painful for people once it ceased. Too bad for the lost generation of unromantics.

 

[90Domer]

Rock is meant to be hard, yes. That’s why I prefer power ballads like I Remember You.

“Power ballads” or as my husband calls is, the “token ballad.” Taxing my husband’s brain on his favorite, as I write.

 

[90Domer]

Classic Rock is the good stuff. This new age Rock is of the Devil. I will pray for your conversion.

Ugh, spoken like a true guy.

“True” by Spandau Ballet (I rewatched “16 Candles” last night.

 

[90Domer]

Interesting suggestions…

Both of these songs are good examples of when love goes off the rails. They aren’t really great love songs. They’re obssession songs.

I know, but I think Sting is sexy, so I included it on that factor!

 

[90Domer]

Husband:

“I Want to Know What Is”

 

[90Domer]

“The Search Is Over” by Foreigner

Sweet song! Love that one too!
