Yesterday I was challenged by one of my readers to come to the table with a song that promoted the positive side of love. Well I decided to do her one better, and share some of my favorite songs that do just that. Enjoy my selections, and feel free to add your own picks to the list. I’ll tell you what; I’ll even add your songs to the list, and we’ll keep a running tab of our favorite love songs. If it’s a song that you think I may not have, email it to me at flyguychronicles@gmail.com. Let’s see how long we can make this post. Oh, and there’s one other stipulation. Try to challenge us with songs that have never been released as singles. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

  21. 21
    songbird says:

    If and when I ever get married I’m hiring Boyz II Men to sing “I Do” from their album, Nathan, Michael, Shawn, Wanya. I still think “Thank You In Advance” is an awesome song, even though it didn’t do so well on the radio (sorry for mentioning a single).

    “Love Is Still Enough” by Savory, off the Jason’s Lyric soundtrack. This song could also go on the “Between the Sheets” playlist :)

    Nikki P says:

    Okay after this I’m done.
    From the Love JOnes Soundtrack
    Cassandra Wilson: You move me
    Duke Ellington: In a Sentimental Mood

    Althought Duke’s doesn’t have any words, its like you can feel the love as he plays. It jst makes you want to fall in love with somebody, or think about the person that you love as son as the horn hits.

  31. 31
    chrissy snow says:
