Behind Closed Doors (Charlie Rich)

When a Child is Born (Johnny Mathis)

~When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman - Dr Hook, cos I think its about me :D

Ralph McTell (?) Streets of London, no idea why, but I suppose just makes me realise I am lucky. Love Bridge over Troubled Waters, and of course The Way We Were. At our 50th Wedding Anniversay party, my husband did not make a speach, instead he got my son in law to play "You're once Twice, Three time a Lady", and everyone went "aahhhh".
(that's the recording, my son in law did not actually play it)

Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers. Ottis Redding Sitting on the Dock of the bay. Sherry by the Four Seasons

Every time that you walk in the room (The Searchers)

Where do you go to my lovely (Peter Starsted)

Golden Brown (The Stranglers)

Tracks of my Tears (Smokey Robinson)

Romeo and Juliet (Dire Straits)

Several by Gordon Lightfoot including Song for a Winters Night, If You Could Read My Mind and Sundown.

Nothing Compares (Sinead O Connor)

Suspicious Minds I'm not a big fan of Elvis but this one is a favourite.

Fever (Peggy Lee)

Many, many, more I love music it brings back so many memories and it often makes me cry.

Led Zepplin Babe I'm Gonna Leave You.I love early Led Zepplin! Sherry the song I mention before just makes me happy when I here it.

Although I didn't like ABBA the first time around (not at all cool) the song 'Slipping through my fingers' moves me to tears as it strikes such a chord, possibly for all mothers of daughters.

I am also moved by a lot of Leonard Cohen's stuff, and Lou Reed 'Perfect Day' (but not the horrific group enterprise version produced for Chidren in Need - aaaaaagh)

Nearly forgot Waterloo Sunset by the Kinks.

nightowl I love "Slipping through my fingers" - it used to make me cry as well. I also like "The Day before you came", which is on the same Abba album. They were such clever songwriters - such brilliant lyrics.

phew! hard one.... i would say 'young girl get outa my mind', loved it

Don't think that one would be allowed these days ...

The rose, by bette midler, high sierra, by boz sags, led zep, bryan adams, the list is endless, x

Flowerofthewest oh yes! early Neil Young!

Ride a white swan -T Rex and Satisfaction -Stones. remind me of lazy hazy summers in fields, for some reason ..but also can picture my Dad cursing every group on Top of the Pops

Everlasting Love (The Love Affair)

Candle in the wind (Elton John)

Too many to list

I've just made a playlist of my favourite songs which I've put on my mobile phone. Most of them are rather sad ballads, mostly 60s. Beatles - Things We Said Today, Because, Across The Universe. Bette Midler - From A Distance. Some Elvis, Harry Chapin, Jim Croce, Cat Stevens. I shall listen to it when I'm in hospital after my heart surgery. And when I do the ironing. And on the bus.

I love that one too Eloethan. I see Agnetha has come out of hiding at last and she is looking good. Haven't heard any of her songs yet though.

Annie's song and John Denver stuff and a sneaky liking for large helpings of Abba.

Sara by Bob Dylan. Fire and Rain by James Taylor, and Soldiers. Suzanne by Leonard Cohen holds very special memories. I keep thinking of more.

nightowl, Agnetha's current single, When you Really Loved Someone, is very good IMO. She sounds wonderful still.

Loved the love affair! Loved Motown as well. Four tops "reach out". Far too many to list. 60's and early 70's were great.

Paint it black, Rolling Stones
Norwegian wood, Beatles
Heard it through the grapevine

I'll check that one out Ana, thanks for the tip

I love my music, its so hard to pick a favourite - but from my compilation disc....

Dylan - Tangled up in Blue
Don Henley - Boys of Summer
Cream - Badge
Neil Young - Old Man
Buffalo Springfield - For What its Worth
Roy Harper - One of Those Days in England
Kinks - Days
Litttle Feat- Dixie Chicken
Michelle Shocked- Anchorage
Art Brut - Post Soothing out
Alex Harvey - Framed

Also agree wholeheartedly with fast car and norwegian wood

Lena Horne New Fangled Tango, I think is one of the sexiest songs , much underated http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akZm0rU-UnE

I loved the Love Affair and Everlasting Love is one of my favourites. Funny how the opening bars of a song stir something inside you. Whenever I hear the opening bars of God Only Knows by the Beach Boys I get a tingly sensation in my stomach and I have to stop whatever I'm doing and listen. (Too much information there)! Also love Motown, 4 Tops/Temptations etc etc
