It’s been a while since the last part of this special series of posts. Just like the 3 other parts, Part 4 showcases 5 more great classic love songs. I’ve included videos of each song for your convenience.
Enjoy Part 4 of this special series of posts.
16. “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston
If you had to choose the ballad with the best vocal performance, Whitney Houston’s rendition of “I Will Always Love You” would probably be your pick. You may be surprised to know that this was remake of a country song from Dolly Parton. It became the theme song of the 1993 movie The Bodyguard starring Houston, and expresses the protagonist’s sadness at leaving their lover, but that they will always love them forever. Despite this causing the protagonist pain, they know that it’s the right decision and wish
them both luck and love in their future. Houston’s voice resonates like no other making this song simply unforgettable.
17. “Endless Love” by Diana Ross & Lionel Ritchie
Probably the most recognizable of duets, “Endless Love” is about how lovers declare that their love for each other has no limits, given how much they adore each other. Despite being sung more than 25 years ago, it still resonates and pulls people’s heart strings more than ever before. Arguably the best ballad from the 80s.
18. “Unchained Melody” by The Righteous Brothers
The fact that “Unchained Melody” is one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century is a testament to the high regard many artists have for this song. You’d be hard pressed to find someone who hasn’t heard this song before. The Righteous Brothers’ 1965 recording remains the most well-known rendition and its inclusion in the 1990 movie Ghost certainly helped its popularity among modern audiences. One of the oldest yet
most beautiful compositions about love ever written.
19. “Don’t Know Much” by Linda Ronstadt & Aaron Neville
One of the simplest yet one of the most powerful love songs ever made. It explores how people may not know what’s going on in the world or what their future holds, but the one thing they do know for sure is that they love their partner. This is a perfect song for a moonlight first dance and it’s difficult to find a better song for such an occasion. Simply magical.
20. “Best Of My Love” by the Eagles
One of the simplest ballads from the classic rock/country genres, “Best of My Love” expresses the protagonist’s feeling that despite problems with their lover, that they always give their lover the best of their love. A great ballad to sing to the one you love on a guitar or around a campfire with friends.
