Ballads in low register

Just listening to Sign, and I realized that the two love ballads on the first disc are both in his natural or low register. Interesting, 'cause usually his best ballads are falsetto. It got me to thinking, what are all his love ballads in his low or natural register? A few that come to mind:

1. I Love U in Me
2. Slow Love
3. Forever in My Life
4. Somebody's Somebody
5. Call My Name
6. Future Soul Song

Others?

Arms of Orion is a good one (yes, I actually like that song)

Diamonds and Pearls, yep

Nothing Compares 2 U is another that I missed

JiR, TMP, S, 5W, and UtCM -- I'm not sure I'd put these in the love ballads category. I'm thinking slow jams here.

Still Would Stand All Time. It's not a love ballad mind you, but he hits some of the lowest notes of his career on this one.

The Arms of Orion and I Love You In Me are two incredibe songs. They are fantastic!

It was mind-blowing a long time ago when in concert he performed I Love You In Me in falsetto. I had wished this for years and finally it happened. It would be great if a falsetto version was released.

He has always blended so well with Sheena Easton. They should do more together.
