Thought this would make an alternative Valentine's Day song - I think it's one of the greatest love songs ever but we all have our favourites - let's hear about them.
Nice - she even makes that terrible line: "I burnt a hole in the dining room table" sound convincing! Apart from that it's a great, poignant, song. I also love the version by Mary Ann McCall with Woody Herman's 1946 (I think without checking...) Herd, which has a great arrangement, and some excellent alto by Woodrow.
That's the line that makes the song - lifts it out of the ordinary! Yes Woody's version with Mary Ann was also excellent.
well Lance, you know my choice " My one and only love!
Liz
You Go To My Head, & Save Your Love For Me is a current favourite..
There are any amount of swing, soul and Brazilian songs that I might have gone for but this is pretty close to my ideal Valentine song - right in the gaps between folk and jazz. And in French - what better?. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-KBHnTsO-g
"au jardin d'amour" pierre bensusan @ the new varsity

Ooh is that the Nancy Wilson and Cannonball version of Save Your Love for Me? I nearly said the same one to Lance until something a bit folksier popped into my head.
I'm 10 minutes out of Valentines day with this suggestion, but I like 'You'd be so nice to Come Home to'
Ann Alex
Sorry Lance! Missed seeing your message until just now! I have so many! My Romance, But Beautiful, Lush Life (not really a love song, but...love it anyway!).
So many more...
When I Fall in Love is my fave by far.
