Love Songs for Valentines Day

Valentine's Day is almost upon us and if you are still looking for the perfect gift, why not consider the gift of song?

I am one who believes that music goes straight to the heart, so the gift of song on Valentine's Day seems to me just about perfect. So, when I am looking for a high quality page on love songs, the first person to come to mind is our resident music expert, Waxing-Lyrical, better known as Rich. His page, The Best Music for Valentine's Day had just what I was looking for.

For me, Valentine's Day is about wine, chocolate and Frank Sinatra. Rich comes close when, in his intro, he proposes,

"grab that box of chocolates, make sure there is a glass of wine (or two) close at hand, slip into something more comfortable, take your lover by the hand...and as Jim Morrison once said, "C'mon baby, light my fire!""

He then goes on to present eleven of the best love songs for Valentine's Day, along with descriptive reasons for his choices. For example, one of the songs is Barry White's "I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More, Baby" and Rich writes,

"If it weren't for Barry White, there probably wouldn't be quite so many Twenty and Thirty-somethings around today ;) This was his first big hit record which just oozes l-u-r-v-e, passion and romance."

My favorite love song on Rich's list is The Righteous Brothers',"Unchained Melody," for which he writes,

"If your Valentine's Day plans ever include sensually moulding some very wet clay into something indescribable, then this is the song for you."

Beautiful! Rich rounds out his article with Valentine's Day posters, t-shirts, and chocolate.

My only complaint is that there is no Frank Sinatra on the list, to me the greatest love song singer of all time. What's up with that, Rich?
