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

Blue Gardenia by Diana Washington. Or ... I've got a crush on you by Sarah Vaughn.
I've already voted in this thread for a couple of favorites of mine, on 10-21-09 and 7-20-14. So I'll now take some liberties and name a song which is not one of my favorite love songs, and which I neither particularly like nor particularly dislike as a song, but which I feel deserves mention in this thread because of the performance. Jay Black, formerly of Jay & The Americans and often referred to as "The Voice," performing "Cara Mia" a few years ago, at the age of 72. Simply incredible!

Al,
I saw that performance on TV, and was also shocked that his voice sounded so great still at his age. Good pick, even though it's not one of my favorite songs either.
Jerry Garcia doin Shining Star but it's a toss up between Aaron Neville's Feels Like Rain.
It used to be "God Only Knows" by Brian Wilson/The Beach Boys, but winning by a nose now is "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted", either in it's original recording by Jimmy Ruffin or the more recent live recording by Joan Osborne with the Motown house band.
If you stick to "pop" songs Glen Campbell singing "By the time I get to Phoenix .
American Songbook "Someone to Watch Over Me " .
Wow, probably the most sung about topic in history, at least in English. One that comes immediately to mind is "Keep Me in Your Heart for Awhile" by Warren Zevon.
Warren Z always tickled my fancy. Black humor with a softer side that he did not reveal much until he got sick. Great songwriter that is missed.
