what do you think is THE most beautiful love song of ALL TIME....??!! PHEW!-just a bit of fun-but what do you think is the finest love song of all time of all time?
the most poetic words ? its a ridiclous question but for me at the minute it be this..... Can We Pretend Can we pretend That from now on There is no yesterday Paint a portrait of tomorrow With no colors from today Chorus: There’s a light that shine in your face sometimes That takes my feeling wraps them around your need But there’s shadow hiding in your heart sometimes That makes my feelings turn back in on me Can we pretend The pain is gone And go our merry way Paint a portrait of tomorrow With the colors bright and gay http://uk.youtube.com/wat...hvFgkY53eM i also rank this song pretty highly-i cant quite remember who sang it..... ALL THE FLOWERS THAT YOU PLANTED MAMA IN THE BACK YARD ALL DIED AND WITHERED AWAY AHHH I KNOW THAT LIVING WITH YOU BABY, WAS SOMETIMES HARD BUT I'M WILLING TO GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY COS' NOTHING COMPARES, NOTHING COMPARES TO YOU lets get loved up y'all | |

You mean besides ADORE, right?
I'll have to give it some thought, but "You Make Me Feel Brand New" (Stylistics???) is right up there! By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |

I can't say what's THE greatest, but for some reason "Woman" by John Lennon always gets me choked up.    | |

yep, just beautiful. Have you heard the demo versiond and studio outtakes? My favorte song is Jesus To A Child. It's a love song, but about someone you have lost. I don't listen to love songs where people are adored. | |

Why not "Distant Lover"? 
I got another one besides "Distant Lover": Lenny Williams' "Cause I Love You". [Edited 1/26/09 12:31pm] | |

'I'm Gonna Make You Love Me' Supremes & The Temptations, always has moved me. It's just perfection. |

Its not my most beautiful song because I think that I would have to have a playlist of favorites instead of picking one but
Angel-Anita Baker Where there is love-Patrice Rushen. The music+ lyrics always move me everytime. | |

Diana + Eddie = sensual Correct. It's not so much the lyrics, fine as they are, but how it's delivered, as it's effectively a duet, it's got something for both the boy and girl when listened to. Whereas a vocalist on their own only delivers from one perspective. You can use this song to get together with someone, and you can use it when you're splitting up. That's a great quality in a love song. That's why i've put it forward anyway.  |

Anita's "You're the Best Thing Yet" is my favorite love song from her and that's partially because it hardly gets mentioned versus "Caught Up in the Rapture", "No One in the World" and "Body & Soul". | |

Also, Marvin & Tammi's and Luther and Cheryl's "If This World Were Mine" fits what you mean about when you talk about the Supremes/Temptations version of "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me". [Edited 1/26/09 12:52pm] | |

Waaaay too hard to call  It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

[Edited 1/26/09 12:52pm] My Marvin & Tammi complete duets CD is at my ex's! Otherwise i'd be pulling that out to give it a listen.I'm not that familiar with it tho, but i trust ya!
on a side note, i was fooled for years by Valerie Simpson, pulling a Tammi impression on a lot of those more well known songs.That upset me when i found out. |

Heh, oddly enough Valerie herself denied she sang on the records, that it was Tammi on those recordings but who knows if she was really up to recording during her final year alive. | |

"I'll Write a Song for You"
Al mckay, philip bailey & steve beckmeier/Earth, Wind & Fire I thirst but never quench I know the consequence, feeling as I do We’re in a spinning top Where, tell me, will it stop And what am I to say Open our music book, that only few can look And I’ll write a song for you Love is a symphony, hearts in one melody ’cause I write a song for you Sounds never dissipate, they only recreate In another place There in your silent night Joy of a song’s delight I write a song for you You write a song for me We write a song for love My magical mystique, finding it all complete In a lovely face, feeling we try to chase Memories that won’t erase, stay forever new [Edited 1/26/09 13:08pm] | |

This would have to be one of them...
...Johnny Mathis - Laura Laura is the face in the misty light Footsteps that you hear down the hall The laugh that floats on a summer night That you can never quite recall And you see Laura, on a train that is passing through Those eyes how familiar they seem She gave your very first kiss to you That was Laura but she's only a dream She gave your very first kiss to you That was Laura But she's only a dream Along with this one... ...The Flamingos - I Only Have Eyes For You My love must be a kind of blind love I can't see anyone but you Are the stars out tonight? I don't know if it's cloudy or bright I only have eyes for you, dear The moon may be high But I can't see a thing in the sky I only have eyes for you I don't know if we're in a garden Or on a crowded avenue You are here, and so am I Maybe millions of people go by, But they all disappear from view. And I only have eyes for you Great melodies and lyrical imagery. tA  Tribal Disorder

Even if you cannot stay I think you are the one for me Here is where you ought to be I just want to satisfy ya Though youre not mine I cant deny ya Dont you hear me talking baby? Love me now or Ill go crazy Chorus: Oh sweet thing Dont you know youre my everything? Oh sweet thing Dont you know youre my everything? Yes, you are I wish you were my lover But ya act so undercover To love you child my whole life long Be it right, or be it wrong Im only what you make me, baby Dont walk away, dont be so shady Dont want your mind, dont want your money These words I say, they may sound funny, but... Chorus You are my heat You are my fire You make me weak with strong desire To love you chile my whole life long Be it right, or be it wrong I just want to satisfy ya Though youre not mine I cant deny ya Dont you hear me talking baby? Love me now or Ill go crazy Vamp: Youre my heat, you are my fire Youre not mine, I cant deny ya Dont you hear me talking, baby? Love me now, or Ill go crazy | |
