I listed some of my favorite all-time songs, mainly from the 1950's and 1960's, in two posts here and here. I never got past 1964, it seems, on my list. That sort of dates me, huh? There are lots of love songs on that list - I wonder why?
From that list, my #1 all-time favorite is from 1961 - I Love How You Love Me by The Paris Sisters. You can hear the song here and read the lyrics here.
Why this song? 1961 was my high school graduation year and I was a hopeless teenage geek (5 feet 7 inches tall, 120 pounds, googly glasses, goofy overbite grin, pimples, butch haircut - you get the picture!). No dates, no girlfriends, no hope...just music to swoon by.
Like every red-blooded male teen, I yearned for a girlfriend and more, and songs like this really raised my, um, spirit. It took eight more years before I found the love of my life, but it was worth the wait!
I wonder if my daughters and grandchildren will ever find this post and learn a little bit more about my life?
What's your favorite love song?
