Your ONE all time favorite love song?


For me it's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" by Roberta Flack, from her CD "Softly with These Songs, the Best of Roberta Flack", on Atlantic. I'm looking for LOVE SONGS. Thanks and Cheers. Craig

Any time someone mentions Karen's voice, I'm agreeing!
God that girl, for my taste, had the most hauntingly beautiful voice ever given to anyone.
On the man's side Nat 'King' Cole had the best male voice. Those two, I could listen to forever.
As to the best love song--recently, I dug out an old song from the '60's--'Mr. Dieingly Sad' by the Critters is about the prettiest melody and words I've ever heard.
What a great thread!

Back in, 1978, I believe it was, I was on the way home from work and heard this incredible song--didn't know who the artis was, but damn, he was singing what he was adlibbing, and adlibbing what he was playing! Incredible.
I thought then that Benson would be the second comming. But marketing tallent is as tough as anything.
THAT was a magic moment.

Thanks for reminding us Berzin.

What a fun thread...another song, which is basically a throwaway by most standards--perhaps it was a moment in time...in other words my mood, hormones whatever...but the song was "Mr. Dyingly Sad" by the Critters.
My wife found it on a website and got it for me as a gift a few years back, bringing back in very real focus what I was thinking and feeling at that moment in time.

Who says we can't time travel?

Chatta,
Thanks, did I mention that she's my ex wife?
That makes it even 'nicer'.

She is, after all a terrific person.

Recently, I listened to Carrie Underwood singing, "I Told You So", a song written in 1985 by Randy Travis. The words are so poignant...especially if you've lost a girlfriend/wife, been alone and wondered IF you made the right decision...

WARNING!!!!
Do not drink red wine and listen to the YouTube of this!!!
This action may cause emotional distress!!!!

Aw hell, go ahead and listen.

"To Make Me Feel Your Love"...sung by many, in my opinion, owned by Trish Yearwood.
This song is really beautiful...AND I would never have laid it at the feet of Bob Dylan who wrote it...surprise.

Good listening,
Larry
