I have polled about 20 people, asking them for a short list of the best slow dance songs of all time. The18 songs that got at least 3 votes are below (number of votes, followed by the song title and artist):
8 Unchained Melody Righteous Brothers
7 Wonderful Tonight Eric Clapton
5 Color My World Chicago
5 Lady In Red Chris DeBurgh
5 Unforgettable Natalie And Nat King Cole
4 I Swear All 4 One
4 Everything I Do (I Do It For You) Bryan Adams
4 Can't Help Falling In Love Elvis Presley
4 You Are So Beautiful Joe Cocker
4 When A Man Loves A Woman Percy Sledge
4 In Your Eyes Peter Gabriel
3 Take My Breath Away Berlin
3 Just The Way You Are Billy Joel
3 Always And Forever Heatwave
3 Stairway To Heaven Led Zeppelin
3 What A Wonderful World Louis Armstrong
3 Here And Now Luther Vandross
3 Nights In White Satin Moody Blues
I was a bit surprised to find that the top songs got so many votes. Not that they aren't all great songs. I have sung 4 of the top five in karaoke. The surprising thing is that so many people - without prompting or suggesting any particular song - picked "Unchained Melody" and "Wonderful Tonight".
Anyone want to add their own favorites?
