Valentine’s Day is fast approaching.
You have about 10 days to do what you need to do.
Between now and February 14th, inspired by my blogathon on Christmas music, the 10 Greatest Love Songs of All-Time (according to me). Yes, I am a romantic, sentimental fool.
Before we start the 10-song countdown, one per day, here's a collection that didn’t quite make my top 10, but is guaranteed to, how shall we say, put you in the mood….
Let’s start with a biggie.
The Beatles.
That's always nice.
Next.
Speaking of legends.....
Eric Clapton.
If you put out a movie in the 60's or 70's and wanted someone to sing the theme, you telephoned Andy Williams.
His renditions were guaranteed Academy Awards.
Williams gave us the "Theme from Love Story," a perfect song for this blog. But I give the edge to this movie theme, simply because of how Williams holds that last final note.
Tune in a golf tournament on ABC-TV and you'll probably hear this in the background during some segments.
That certainly doesn't do this one justice, one of the greatest instrumentals ever recorded.
Hard to believe, but teenagers and the older folks, white and black were rushing out to buy Barry White and the Love Unlimited Orchestra's masterpiece.
One more.
Roberta Flack and the late Donny Hathaway did the original, but I really like Fourplay's re-make with Patti Austin and Peabo Bryson on the vocals.
Tomorrow, we begin the top ten countdown.
