Oh wow, AMAZING playlist Cathy! I sooooo love Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” and the great Percy Sledge’s “When a Man Loves a Woman.” It just doesn’t get any better than that! I would’ve definitely picked those two if I hadn’t concentrated on rock love songs. I’ll be coming back and back and back again to listen to your playlist.
And “Unchained Melody” – so good. Makes me want to Netflix “Ghost” tonight!
I haven’t heard “Killing Me Softly” in years! Takes me right back to the early 70s when I was crushing on all kinds of boys…
Fabulous!
Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day, my friend.

I’m glad you enjoyed the playlist, Michele. Some of these songs I haven’t heard in a while, too. It’s great stumbling on them again. 🙂
Arlee Bird
Nice song mix. Love songs could mean a lot of listening for a long time. There are so many good ones.

Cathy Kennedy
Lee,
Yep, there are tons of great love song and it was hard to come up with a small list but I just went with the first ones to come to mind or that held some sentimental memories. BTW, are you feeling better?
Cathy Keisha
#4! Definitely Percy Sledge. A great love song. Another great love song is Only You by Yaz. I may start doing this blog hop since I’m DJCK.
Cathy Kennedy
Cathy,
Yes, the 4M gang would love to have you play along! There’s always room on the dance floor for one more. Thanks for stopping by to boogie with me!

Hi Cathy; That’s a lovely array of songs. “Unchained Melody” will always remind me of that beautiful scend in “Ghost”, with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze. Love makes the world go ’round! 🙂
Cathy Kennedy
Debbie,
I’m also reminded of that love scene from Ghost when I hear “Unchained Melody” and it always breaks my heart. Although I’m a strong person, it would nearly kill me (inside at least) if something ever happened to DH and I HATE thinking about it. Maybe, God will choose to take us from this life together so we’ll never be apart. Thanks for stopping by for a visit. 😉

Some of these i hadn’t heard in a while. Beautiful Spark!
Cathy Kennedy
Mimi,
So glad you could join me for a little mewsic and inspiration! 😉
Naila Moon
Beautiful love songs that I am seeing today. Your list is fab of course!
I have seen “Unchained Melody” a couple of times today.
Carry on my mewsical friend!
Cathy Kennedy
Michelle,
Long time, no see, my friend! I’m delighted you found your way over to my place for a bit of love. A few others on the dance floor picked the same selection but you can’t blame them. “Unchained Melody” is a classic love song and the Righteous Brothers’ vocals are silky smooth just like a good piece of chocolate. Thanks for boogieing with me. 🙂
XmasDolly
WOW, I MADE IT!!! Whew! Hope you saved a dance for me girlfriend! What a mess with my email huh? I was so happy I saw Stacy on-line & I asked her right away to pass the info on the linky! I think I only had my email twice this week can you believe that. Darn Comcast!!! grrrrrrrrr Anyway, fantastic list there girlfriend! Awwww & you have Steve Wonder, Dude of Dudes start us off, fabulous! Your list has my and Dave’s song by the Righteous Brothers! It was the first song we ever danced too! Anyway, have to fly. It’s been a long day, but you’re the first I have visited today. Big hugs and thanks for the two step sweetie! HUGS
Cathy Kennedy
Marie,
I’ve had issues with Comcast over the years, too. Despite the difficulties with them, they are the only company in our area that offers high-speed cable internet which is good. I’d love to see more companies move into this market offering excellent high-speed service at a lower cost. This might keep Comcast on its toes and give the customer more options. I hope your email is straightened out now. I always save a dance for you and I’m glad you came by to boogie with me. 🙂

Fabulous selection of love songs. I love all of these with “You Are So Beautiful” by Joe Cocker being my fav.
Cathy Kennedy
Eugenia,
Joe Cocker is one of my all-time favorites and this song brings back some sweet memories for me. 🙂
-Eugenia
Me too, Cathy! This song seemed out of the ordinary for him, which makes it so special.
Mary B
What a great list! I’ve added your song choices to a larger playlist that I’ve put together for those moments when Mr Special and I want to have background music. (See… I still have a sliver of hope!)

Mary,
With love there is always hope! 🙂 I love your thinking, my friend!!
John Holton
Love all of these, but “Let’s Stay Together” is the real bright spot for me. I love the Rev. Al Green.
Cathy Kennedy
John,
Al Green is an amazing talent. I love this song, too.
Josie Two Shoes
Wonderful songs! I dropped by from Sparks, and love the simple truth of your Bible verse. While love does not necessarily conquer all, it never fails to work in the ways God intends it to. We can never go wrong by responding to others from a place of love. It is the most powerful force in the Universe, because God is love!
Josie Two Shoes ~ Sparks
Cathy Kennedy
Josie,
Absolutely love never fails and when you allow God to use that love then beautiful things happen. 🙂
DrillerAA
Very good list. Most of them would be on mine as well. I might add “You’ve Got a Friend” by James Taylor. Have a blessed week.
Cathy Kennedy
“You’ve Got a Friend” came to mind but I was going for mushier romantic tunes for my playlist and Taylor’s song was a purrfect fit but it is a fabulous song! Thanks for stopping by! 😉
Patrick Weseman
Loved your list. Wonderful songs and thanks for sharing.
Cathy Kennedy
Patrick,
I’m so glad you came by to listn to my selections today. Have a good week!
Comedy Plus
I love every song on your list. You and I like the same kind of music.
Love the Spark. It’s spot on.
Have a fabulous day, Cathy. ♥
Cathy Kennedy
Sandee,
Why doesn’t this surprise me? I mean, we’re two great minds, right? 😀
Joyce Lansky
I love these songs! Great picks.
Cathy Kennedy
Joyce,
Thanks for stopping by to dance with me. I’m glad you enjoyed my song picks.
15andmeowing
Great love song choices. I haven’t heard Leeann Rimes in years, she has an amazing voice. Great spark too! Have a nice week.
Birgit
I do like some songs here but I love Cant take my eyes off of you. I always think of Lara’s Theme from Dr. Zhivago. Wishing you a great week ahead
Cathy Kennedy
Birgit,
I did not know Lara’s Theme that you mentioned until I went to YouTube to hear it. I think it’s a pretty song but I would not think of it as a ‘love song’. Of course I have not seen Dr. Zhivago so maybe if I did it would click. 🙂
Veronica Lee
I love Shania Twain! I always sing “You’re Still the One” whenever we have a karaoke session! “From this moment on” is my fave too.
Cathy Kennedy
Veronica,
Shania Twain is my favorite female country artist. Karaoke session?! You better count me out on that one or else the dogs will howl. lol
