The Essential 100 Love Songs of the 1970s, 80s and 90s

Hey Guys I was inspired by the Disco Thread. I want to put together a list of 100 love songs. I will edit as I think of more.

1. Teddy Pendergrass - Love TKO

2. Marvin Gaye - I want you

3. Michael Jackson - The Lady in My Life

4. Foreigner -I Wanna Know What Love Is

5. Foreigner - I've Been Waiting For a Girl Like You

6. Phil Collins - One More Night

7. Christopher Cross - Sailing

8.Lionel Ritchie - Endless Love

9. Kenny Rodgers - Lady

10. Luther Vandross - Here and Now

11. Commodores - Still

12. KiCi & JoJo - All My Life

13. PM Dawn - Die Without You

14. Barbara Streisand - Woman In Love

I am thinking maybe I should seperate it into Soul and Soft Rock...but lets make the 100 first.

Help please!
