Name a nice old love ballad that we don't hear much any more.

[TheTecknician]

I'll start with 'Longer' by Dan Fogelberg.

I heard "Cry Me A River" the other day & it reminded me of "Love Letters" by Julie London

I love Moon River by Andy Williams. I remember watching the scene in Born on the 4th July - they were dancing to this, I think possibly at their prom (I have only watched it once when it came out on video so a very long time ago!) Then the next scene was combat and bombs going off. I think the song is beautiful and even though I've only seen that film once and I'm not a fan of Tom Cruise as soon as I hear it it makes me cry and I see the images. Beautiful song.

Stay with me till dawn by Judie Tzuke. Takes me straight back to my teens and still gives me shivers!

More than Words by Extreme. First concert I ever went to.

Gerry Rafferty , Right Down the Line, beautiful love song. (maybe not a ballad though ??)

The Last Waltz

Watched a TikTok about Lisa stansfield all around the world this morning. Forgot about that classic.

Meatloaf anything for love is a regular for my car karaoke sessions

Lady A need you now
Lisa loeb stay
Rick Springfield (?) Jessie's girl
Toto hold the line
Celine fucking dion!

I don't know if this fits the bill tho as they're all breakup ballads I think

Smoke gets in your eyes.

Does Bertie Higgins' Key Largo count as a ballad?

I listened to strangers in the night the other day and it's lovely

Oh I love an old fashioned ballad.

Unforgettable - Nat King Cole
Stardust - Nat King Cole
A Portrait of my Love - Matt Monroe

Dance with my father
Hero

Stardust makes me bawl my eyes out, I think I want that one at my funeral.

The Last Farewell Includes the fantastic line “ for you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly, more dearly than the spoken word can tell”

I’m off to cry now

Mr Big - To Be With You. Love it

I love I’ll Be Seeing You by Frank Sinatra. The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face we don’t hear much anymore-beautiful song.

The Carnival is Over by The Seekers, very sad, not sure it is a ballad.

Ten Sharp - You. Love that song!

Don't listen to radio but on telly recently was a thing about Punk and bless them The RAmones played Baby I love you.i was in my very, very Happy place. Only a few seconds of it but still.....

I suppose not really a love ballard???? Even my phone sez no and put bollard!! I know I am wrong!!¡

Dance away Roxy Music
Rainy Night in Soho The Pogues.

My Mum and Dad were always dancing around the kitchen to this and when my Mum died last year I had it played at the funeral. I thought I was doing ok until it started and I fell apart and everyone cried- lovely song.

Oh yes!!!
