That has to be one the best myke

Been enjoying The Gabriel's album. This version of the Barbara Streisand track I think is stunning:

Dylan wrote and performed some great love songs. 

 

 

And one that is possibly more about platonic/ family love as covered very movingly by the Pretenders:

Barbra Streisand - Woman in Love

In all its emotional colours... this one shows a different aspect to the conventional story:

Some of my favourites......

 

Curtis Mayfield - Tripping Out

 

 

 

I'll take care of you - Mark Lanegan. There's so many great versions of this song, but Mark's voice just seems to suit this so well

 

Stand inside your love - Smashing Pumpkins

Great track. Had forgotten it. Thanks for the reminder.

[Mykesbass]

A couple from the Jazz world- Stan Getz and Astrid Gilberto, Girl from Ipanema

And Chet Baker, who uniquely had (to my ears) the same tone with both his voice and trumpet, with a song with such an appallingly sexist lyric, but you have to forgive it as it is so good; My Funny Valentine

This is my favourite Level 42 song. Not a slap or pop in sight, just a beautiful song and a simple message, "I want love in a peaceful world". Don't we all.

 

And from the same album, this. Another of my very favourite Level 42 songs, and again entirely free of any bass acrobatics. Just a lovely song about searching for The One.

Bill Withers - Just the two of us

 

 

[chriswareham]

Nine Inch Nails - Closer

The Macc Lads - Do you Love Me?

 

[paul_5]

For my money this has to be one of the most beautiful songs of the latter half of the 20th Century:

 

 

 

And this one doesn't start like a love song, but it's worth staying with it.

Coverdale at his finest, unfortunately a pale shadow of the vocals nowadays.

Was going to post this myself, wonderful song. ( Just don’t mention the George Micheal version….)
