Dear pros and music masters (or queens),

I was just wondering who (and what song) do you think can claim the list of some of the greatest 'make out' song of all times?

I'm thinking:
1. Marvin Gaye
2. Earth Wind and Fire
3. Sade

Can't think of anymore. I'm sure some of our savvy people here like Uncle Dave, Don, etc can help out

For me and the misses, it had to be Pink Floyd's Dark side of the moon. Just thinking about that brings a smile to my face.

Thanks for conjuring up that memory!

Al

The Mommas and the Poppas - This Is Dedicated To The One I Love. A cold February night, 1967.

hmmm...how about Isaac Hayes? Luther?

Anybody?

"Never My Love" by the Association.

Think Country--Joe Stamply's "Do You Ever Fool Around?"
Seriously, "Unchained Melody" has to be up there. How about that song from "Ten" with Bo Derrick.
DonM

Teddy Pendergrass (from Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes) sticks out to me...

My wife would say "When A Man Loves A Woman". It didn't hurt that I played that song several times with the guy that made it famous.

One I think many people would choose is by Arron Neville. Tell It Like It Is.

Are you kidding, You can't get a more sexy voice than Sade.

DJ

Ohhh baby ...... I just LOVE doing that one with 4 part harmony on the "tell it" parts. GREAT song. Heart covered it pretty well too.
........if you want .......
good stuff.
good stuff.

Anything by Johnny Mathis. Period.

"I Love How You Love Me" by the Paris Sisters still seems to fog up my car windows.

I'm not familiar with the song "Tell It Like It Is". Who did it and should I put it in the song list?

Beachbum you can have Sade. I'll take Karen Carpenter anyday. She had the smoothest and creamiest voice of any female singer ever.

Tom

Gee! But it's great after being out late,Walking My Baby Back Home.

The old ones are timeless.
cheers

How 'bout "Love Won't Let Me Wait" by Major Harris or "Je t'Aime" by Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg. Never did understand the actual lyrics of that one, but it was all the little noises and stuff.

Tom, you're in for a treat. Look up the song ubder the Nevil Brothers (60s - YOUR era)or you can find a version by Annie & Nancy Wilson (Heart)from the 70s as well. Both capture the romance and passion that the lyric puts out. It's a heart wrenching, yet simple melody with a great opportunity to harmonize the hook. You'll love it.



I'm with you on THAT one. Karen is second in my list only to Ella. Ella is the quintiscential singer for me.Flawless technique, tastful phrasing and beautiful tone. What a loss for both of them.
My "desert Island" CD collection HAS to have:

Les Miz - soundtrack
Carpenters - Christmas album
Ella's Harold Arlen collection

I can eat cocanuts and get by with all the other misfortune if I can have those tunes !

Tom,
You've got mail.
DonM

I vote for:
I wish you love.
I'll take care of your cares.
Love in the afternoon.
Uncle Dave might be old enough to know these great songs
Bebop

Sure....I have an older sister ! She had alot of those records !

..... Gato Barbieri's rendition of "Europa" ... no lyrics necessary ..

Hi Jonas (KN_Fan): You may notice that people's favorite 'make out' love song typically has a lot to do with the year they first 'fell in love'. I'm not giving away that secret. - Scott

"How Can I Be Sure," by the Rascaals. I've got the last line inscribed inside my wife's wedding band. "I'm sure with you."

Oh,
Yeah- age definitely a factor in determining this.

I propose Space Odyssey 2001 and Chariots of Fire though.

Although Bolero is nice also

Have I told You lately by van Morisson is awesome too.

All of side 1 on The Best Of Bread album.

mike

Uncle Dave, Tom...
Obviously you both have tilted your heads and allowed some Grey matter to spill out. Sade, is the best... DJ

What song by Sade do you think is the best?

How about, "For the Good Times"
PS: Not by Sade, I just like it!

No Ordinary Love, off the Sade "love Deluxe" Is my fav... If you take two songs out the whole cd would be a keeper.., Very tempting if she could only find my phone number and swear my wife wouldn't find out!
DJ

"A Certain Sadness" By Astrud Gilberto is best of all time.

Anybody knows the name of Sergio Mendez's female vocalist who sang "The Trouble With Hello"? She got a very sweet sexy voice too and so as Astrud.

When I was young I didn't need any particular song to"make out",but for the masses, I always liked Lenny Welsh,"Since I fell for you"..and for olden days "Stairway to the Stars "...

Vince Gill - "Whenever You Come Around."
Face of an angel, pretty eyes that smile...
I feel weak in the knees and I lose my breath...
When you smile that smile the world turns upside down...

Donna Summer's "Love to Love You Baby" has got to rate as one of the best 'make out' songs in my book. - Scott

Barry White...."Baby Blues"




Ohhh Baby...just put that song on...
Light the Scentd Candles & Pour the Wine!

Need I Say More?

[This message has been edited by Dnj (edited 12-13-2003).]

I'll second Bread and add Just Can't Help Believin' (Elvis) and Red Red Wine (Neil Diamond)

An enjoyable topic, doesn't take us all the same way, does it? LOL

(oh my mistake, is for pros and music masters! sorry )

"My One And Only Love."
I have this with John Coltrane playing this (without too many notes Dave) from the 60's I think. His approach intonation technique and feeling on this tune makes my hair stand up. Johnny Hartmann is the vocalist.

But, some folks today are going to think Rod Stewart invented this tune and it was a great tune when Rod Stewart was a pup.

It reminds me of when I was 14 years old and trying to tell my Dad that Fats Domino had a brand new tune called "Blueberry Hill." My Dad laughed and told me Hank Williams or Hank Snow did that tune in the 30's or 40's.

My kid still thinks that group some 10 years ago invented "I can't help falling in love with you, and I know Elvis did it in the 50's or 60's and probably someone did it in the 30's or 40's. The good tunes just keep rolling around.

Back to Rod Stewart for all the pups here. All the tunes on some of his newest albums were done by Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat Cole and humpteen others in the 20's 30's and 40's.

I still get embarassed when remembering that statement to my Dad. I was trying to make him hipper. Ha!

Don Williams: "We Got a Good Fire Goin"

There's a storm rollin' over the hill
And the willow trees are blowin'
I'm standin' here starin' out the window
Safe and warm
I feel her put her arms around me
And its a good feelin' I'm knowin'
Oh, I've got a good woman and we've got a good fire goin'

We've got a feast on the supper table
Bread for breakin'
A blessing from the Lord for makin' me such a fortunate man
The light of my life in the candle
Her face a glowin'
Oh, I've got a good woman and we've got a good fire goin'

CHORUS:
So let it rain
(let the rain fall down)
Let it rain
It won't do nothin' but kindle a never ending flame
Let it rain
(let the rain fall down)
Let it rain til mornin'
Oh, I've got a good woman and we've got a good fire goin'

Now there's a hard rain fallin' on the roof
Coffee comin' from the kitchen
I'm lyin' here listenin' to the ceiling on the living room floor
I feel her lay down beside me
My love is overflowin'
Oh, I've got a good woman and we've got a good fire goin'


Oh, I've got a good woman and we've got a good fire goin'


Floyd

Great list folks.

I'm not a Sinatra fan but strangers in the night really does it for me.

Unchained melody -

Time to say goodbye -

Well thats my 2 cents worth -

Jerry

"When A Man Loves A Woman", for sure. But Percy Sledge... pleeeeease, not "what's his name's" version.

All Right! Another country fan. I like Don Williams too.
By the way, welcome to THE Forum.

If you ever watched the pottery clay scene in the movie "Ghost" with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze, you would be convinced that "Unchained Melody" is an all time make out song.

Larry Hawk

Agreed! Although everytime I see that seen, I can't help but think of the spoof they did in Naked Gun 2 1/2. Remember the trailer for that one, Leslie Nielsen and Priscilla Presley making out while the pottery wheel goes beserk.

On a more serious note, I was inspired by this thread this past weekend. Saturday night, the kids had a sleep-over, so it turned into "Date" night. An early movie (The Last Samari...great movie), supper, then back home for some quiet time. I decided to dim the lights and play some mood music. Hmmm....What to play? I've used Sade's Promise CD before, that works well. No...Something different. Ah, there it is, Diana Krall's "The Look Of Love".

Hubba hubba!

mike

"William Tell Overture" for those lunch
hour quickies.

Ok, Let's put this one to bed... At my age college football is more exciting....

DJ

Depeche Mode
"Stripped" (Black Selebration)
"Waiting for the night" (Violator)

My girlfriend prefers Dire Straits though.
"So far away"
"Sultains of swihg"
"Private investigations"
as well as some Enigma stuff and .....Kiss (oh no!).

BTW
"Sea of tears" by Goldie was/is considered a number one track to make love to.

How about them LSU Tigers. We will destroy Oklahoma. The Sooners will be Laters.
