For me it's "Leaving on a jet plane". What songs did your folk really like ?

Dave clarke five bits and pieces for my mum. She used to go dancing with my dad when they were courting. Always got her dancing on the table.
We played it at her funeral and a lot of people were surprised by the song. She also loved Jim reeves.
My dad loves all types of music but I think Justin Hayward forever autumn will be the one we play when he passes.
I remember him playing a lot of country music and the eagles especially when I was growing up

@grafittiartist thanks that's interesting about your mum singing while she washed up. Same for us, that's when I remember the radio being on and my folks singing. Of course it was cheesey at the time, your parents singning all these songs but now you can tell all was well in our little family's world back then, and i was just being a mopey kid.

Louis Armstrong - Wonderful World, and any song sung by Ella Fitzgerald.
