Here's our playlist so far. As you can tell, I favor upbeat and faster tempo songs. But I know we need some slow dance songs, too. I want to stick mainly to songs that will be familiar to those from 18-90, so mainly 1970s and older, with a few exceptions as noted. I want to stay away from anything modern, country, hip hop, or rap. I'd like to add in more Sinatra/Dean Martin-type music, but I'm not as familiar with it as I am with 60s pop. What are some good slow dance songs from that era? Brown eyed girl - Van Morrison Obla di obla da -Beatles After all - Peter Cetera Somewhere over the rainbow - Isreal Kamakawiwo Daydream believer - Monkees God Only Knows - Beach Boys Sloop John B - Beach Boys Melt With You - Modern English At last - Etta James Twist and shout - Beatles When i'm 64 - Beatles Time of your life - Green Day It's the end of the world as we know it - REM Uncle John's band - Grateful Dead I got you babe - Sonny and Cher I've got my mind set on you - George Harrison Fields of gold - Sting You look wonderful tonight - Eric Clapton What a wonderful world - Louis Armstrong Build me up buttercup - The Foundations Sunshine Superman - Donovan Free Falling - Tom Petty Catch the wind - Donovan |

Louis Armstrong - We Have All The Time in the World Frank Sinatra - The Way You Look Tonight As Time Goes By (there are lots of different versions - I like the one from the Casablanca soundtrack) Newer, but easy to appreciate on first listen: Josh Groban - When You Say You Love Me Norah Jones - Come Away With Me ********************** |

The first song that popped into my head was "Moon River" -- truly one for the older crowd! Some others: When I Fall in Love You Are So Beautiful (to me) Always and Forever The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Chances Are Can't Help Falling in Love WIth You Can I have this Dance (for the rest of my life) The Way You Look Tonight (You Look) Wonderful Tonight You Send Me Serende of Love (Love, this is my song...) and a more obscure one, True Companion (Marc Cohn) Good luck! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

LOVE "At Last" by Etta James!!! I think if J and I do a first dance, it will probably be to that song. Looooove it. First song that came to mind for you (which isn't really a slow song exactly) is L.O.V.E. by Nat King Cole. It's a great song, though, so I think you should add it even if it isn't a true slow song.  Others that might work: Summertime--Sarah Vaughan My Funny Valentine--Sarah Vaughan Someone To Watch Over Me--Sarah Vaughan God Bless The Child--Ella Fitzgerald In A Sentimental Mood--Coltrane or Ellington Fever--Sarah Vaughan (sorry, she just has THE best voice!) What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life--Frank Sinatra Unforgettable--Nat King Cole Fly Me To The Moon--Frank Sinatra The Best Is Yet To Come--Frank Sinatra Misty--Ella Fitzgerald Smoke Gets In Your Eyes--Judy Garland ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

Oh, I was dumb to segregate L.O.V.E. (or L-O-V-E or just 'Love' depending on whose written it), since some of the Sinatra songs I put up (like 'Fly Me To The Moon') aren't slow songs either. Not thinking, still sleeping...

I may be repeating others but here are a few: True Companion (if you've never heard the song, it's beautiful, and you can check it out on my thread, "Which song for our wedding DVD.") It Had To Be You Any Harry Connick, Jr. or Michael Buble song My Best Friend by Tim McGraw Breathe by Faith Hill Faithfully by Journey I Don't Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith Ice Cream by Sarah McLachlan Into the Mystic by Van Morrison

Franks Sinatra Songs: (up beat slow songs) Check to Check Night and Day Too Marvelous for Words Love is Here to Stay Day by Day (slower slow songs) I'll Be Seeing you All the Way Dean Martin: You're nobody Till Somebody Loves You Sway You Belong to Me If you want something along the same vein, you could also find some nice Cole Porter Songs: Begin the Beguine I've Got Your Under My Skin I Get A Kick Out of You I Love You Anything from Michael Buble, especially his self titled album (released 2003) is good too.

All of these have been performed by SEVERAL artists.. I put a mixture. But FYI Carly Simon has a jazz standard CD called Moonlight Serenade. Rod Stewart has about 5 CDs in a collection. Of course there are the obvious Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble, and Harry Connick Jr. It Had to Be You is my favorite jazz standard.. At Last- Etta James I Only Have Eyes For You- Carly Simon Moonglow- Michael Buble, Frank Sinatra, Carly Simon.. take your pick! Night and Day- Frank Sinatra Unforgettable- Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole They Can't Take That Away- Rod Stewart What a Wonderful World- Loius Armstrong or Iz The Very Thought of You- Michael Buble "You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough." |

Have you considered Elvis? I Can't Help Falling In Love with You is a good familiar one. Love Me Tender is also popular-and there is a BEAUTIFUL arrangement by Nora Jones in case you'd like something different Here are some slow ones we used that I haven't seen mentioned yet: When you Say Nothing at All Alison Krause I'll Do It for You (The Robin Hood Song) Bryan Adams I Will Always Be Right There Bryan Adams You're in My Heart by Rod Stewart "The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw." |

Ours are mainly country with a few mainstream ones thrown in, so here's what I can remember off the top of my head...we are making our final song selection this weekend, I think, but I left my wedding binder at work... Keith Urban: Once in a Lifetime Love (Rusty dedicated this to me on the radio last year when he was in Israel for a month!  )Josh Groban: When You Say You Love Me or With You (R left this CD for me to find after he left for Israel) JoDee Messina or Celine Dion: Because You Loved Me Rascal Flatts: Bless the Broken Road Alison Kraus: When You Say Nothing at All Anne Murray: Could I have this Dance? Carrie Underwood: I'll Stand By You (Originally done by The Pretenders) Rod Stewart: You're in My Heart Colbie Caillat: Bubbly Tim McGraw: Not a Moment too Soon Ty Herndon: Living in a Moment Tracy Byrd: Keeper of the Stars Michael Buble: Home Lonestar: Amazed Dixie Chicks: Cowboy Take Me Away Bryan White: Between Now and Forever I'm sure there's more, but I can't remember them all when I'm this tired!

We are having a family friend sing Steven Curtis Chapman's "I Will Be Here" in lieu of the traditional wedding march. It's a beautiful song. And for my dance with my dad, we're using "Cinderella," also by Steven Curtis Chapman. My all time favorite Frank Sinatra song is "Young At Heart."

What are some good slow dance songs from that era? When I married my ex in 2000, I had a Motown reception. All Motown and Motown-flavored music. Most of the guests were 40 and older, and it went over really well - but younger guests also had a good time. Some songs you can use that fit your description: Sinatra - Luck Be A Lady Nat King Cole - Unforgettable Chris DeBurgh - Lady In Red Percy Sledge - When A Man Loves A Woman Temptations - Just My Imagination Grover Washington - Just The Two Of Us Jeff Healy - Angel Eyes (some people think he's country - he's not) Billy Joel - She's Always A Woman or Just The Way You Are Santana - Black Magic Woman (people who can tango or salsa like this one, and it's slow) Bridget in Connecticut. |

You're gonna laugh.....but at my friend's wedding two years ago, her grandmother got TRASHED! Not in a bad way....she just had way too much wine and was kind of cute, dancing with all the young guys and whatnot. But at the end of the reception, the DJ played "Who's Makin' Love To Your Old Lady (While You Was Out Makin' Love)." With the dance that goes with it. If you don't know the dance I am referring to, it's kind of like the Macarena, only a little more risque. And whaddya wanna know? GRANNY got up with all of us bridesmaids and was doing the dance ! It was freaking hysterical, this little old 80-something drunk lady! And my friend's grandfather (who was not drunk), said, "Ruthie, come and sit down." And she said, "Frank, I might be old, but I ain't dead. I'm not sitting down! I wanna dance, dammit!" YOU GO, GRANDMA!  Bridget in Connecticut. |
