What were some of your favorite songs you liked to slow dance to? Here are a few of my picks:

When The Children Cry - White Lion
When I'm With You - Sheriff
I'll Be There For You - Bon Jovi

How 'bout:

"Into the Night" by Benny Mardones
"Angel Eyes" by Jeff Healy
"How Can I Fall" & "Hands to Heaven" by Breathe
"We Can't Go Wrong" by The Cover Girls
"Falling Out of Love" by Ivan Neville

I have no idea.
Bogie, any suggestions?

:rolleyes:

"When I'm With You" and "Hands To Heaven" were both great songs!

"Love Bites" by Def Leppard
"I Remember You" by Skid Row
"Hold On To The Nights" by Richard Marx
"Heaven" by Warrant (even tho' someone ruined this for me.)

If I think of more, I'll come back. :)

I always loved "Open Arms" by Journey.

"Avalon" by Roxy Music

"amanda" from Boston

"Aleigha" (can never remember his name. Donnie...)

Berlin
"take my breath away"

I think you mean "Ah! Leah!" by Donnie Iris and the Cruisers

yeah, that's it! thanks, dj.
LOL. i just screwed that one up.

that song is hot, though. i'm not sure if it's a good slow dance song, actually.

It is rather fast. BTW it's nice to see you back Vilji!!

I´m just wondering to see no post of TC here, since she´s so fond of Love Classics. *LOL*

Hmm...there are certain songs of my favourite band, Depeche Mode - 'Stripped' (now that´s one TC surely would like :p), 'The Things You Said', 'Somebody', just to name a few.

Crazy For You- Madonna

Lady In Red - Chris de Burgh
The Captain Of Her Heart - Dooblaayy ;)
One More Night - Phil Collins

Make it Real by the Jets
Saving All My Love by Whitney
Tonight, I Celebrate My Love For You by Roberta and Peabo

I like some love songs. :) All the ones listed here are good except these super sappy ones Lady in Red, Heaven, The Captain Of Her Heart and the worst, When The Children Cry. :p

I really like(of the ones listed) Take My Breath Away. ;) Angel Eyes, Open Arms, Saving All My Love, True, Careless Whisper. Once I hear Stripped, I'm sure It will be a favorite! ;)

From the 80s? Maybe Hold Me Now by the Thompson Twins.

Or how about Japan's cover of Second That Emotion?

Best of all though would be Ketty Lester's 1962 Love Letters. ;)

oh that's sweet. :)
"hold me now"
great song.

I'm not familiar with the "love letters" one. I'll have to hear it sometime.

Okay...I´ll make it a DCD. :D
You don´t like 'The Captain Of Her Heart'? Aah, it´s just because you´re in fear of losing the dominant role... ;)

Oh come on you guys! Who didn't slow dance to the obvious! It was the last song of the night 11 minutes long - a bit of an awkward area because the music speeds up...

Stairway to Heaven. Our friend was a DJ he played this just so he could dance with his girlfriend at least once at the end of the night :)

Richard Marx - Right Here Waiting...
Bryan Adams - heaven
John Waite - Missing you
Jack Wagner - All I need
Honeydrippers - Sea of Love
:D

Hold me Now is a great slow dance song.
I also like:

Sometimes - And One
Never Let Me Down - Depeche Mode
Forever Young - Alphaville
If I had a Photograph (of you) - A Flock of Seagulls

"Stairway to Heaven" was always the last song. :)
Other favorites were:
"Open Arms", "True", and "In Your Eyes".

your the inspiration by Chicago

Is that the same "Love Letters" that was done by Elvis Presley?

His had these lyrics:
"Love Letters straight, from your heart
I memorize, every line
And I kiss the name, that you sign"

Didn't Rex Smith have a song titled "You Take My Breath Away"?

That's the one Sarg. I've read that Elvis covered it but I have no idea what it sounds like. Is it any good?

Try Ketty Lester's original. An incredible voice.

Another one I liked was "Slave To Love" by Bryan Ferry.

Yeah, he did! I had forgotten about Rex Smith! My sister was crazy about Rex and Rick Springfield in the early 80s, and she used to play "Take My Breath Away" all the time!

:rolleyes:

Didn't Rex Smith also host Solid Gold for awhile in the 80's?

I can be submissive! ;) For the right guy! :D You wanna smack my ass? ;)

Honeydrippers - Sea of Love

GREAT pic, Zel! That song sends chills down my spine...sooo nice!! :p

I was always partial to Journey's "Faithfully". It was great for couple's skate. lol

Correct again, Stacy! He was one in a long list of hosts and co-hosts of Solid Gold, which included Andy Gibb, Marilyn McCoo, Dionne Warwick, Nina Blackwood and Rick Dees and David Hasselhoff!!!

80sTrivia: Official Stalker of DD86 & jen*

Here is another slow one: "All I Need" by Jack Wagner.

The two ballads by Journey are my two favorite songs by them. Hard to pick which is the better slow dance song... :) A couple of more songs that come to mind are When I See You Smile by Bad English and Angelia by Richard Marx (haven't heard this song in quite awhile).
