Many of the songs off of Stevie Wonder’s Songs in the Key of Life are some of the greatest love songs ever written – but my fav has got to be “As”. Cry every time I hear it.

The Music-Getaway. It says it all, love is good but what happens when it goes away?

Actually Stevie Wonder has written some of the greatest love songs, period! Remember “I Was Made to Love Her”? Terrific love song from the 60’s that was my first ‘our song’ with my boyfriend.

Also; “Tupelo Honey” by Van Morrison. Sweet!!

This song was on the Glitter soundtrack. However, I wish she would have released it because it is one of the best love ballads she has ever done. If you haven’t heard it do yourself a favor and listen to it.

AMAZING VOCALS.

unchained melody has to be the #1 song in my opinion

“I Get a Kick Out of You” by myself

Can’t help myself, but I have to mention to Joey that Lifehouse is a Christian rock group and that the song “Everything” is actually about God and is sung in Christian youth groups across the country. A lot of people make that mistake though. Here’s my additions:

Elton John – “Your Song”
Bryan Adams – “(Everything I Do) I Do it For You”

and my wedding song:

Ben Folds – “The Luckiest”

If I Should Fall Behind – Bruce Springsteen

Shining Star by the Manhattans.
The version by the Jerry Garcia Band 11-19-93 at Hampton is a masterpiece.
