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!

"This Masquerade", the version written by Leon Russell and performed by George Benson from his album Breezin'. I'm referring to the long version which clocks in at 8 minutes and 3 seconds, not the radio edit that leaves out the stunning piano solo by Jorge Dalto.

One of the few love songs that speaks to the realities that all of us have experienced one way or another-the end of a relationship, where you are left with your head spinning thinking how in the world did something so great turn out so messed up.

Maybe it's NOT a love song after all...LOL!!!

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.
