I love sappy love songs! This page has some examples, ranging generally from the 1940s through the 1980s, including some by the King of Sap, Barry Manilow.
Misty by Johnny Mathis (Karaoke purchased here.). A love song from the crooning era. (Includes a whistle interlude. And, oh my goodness, the wonderful reactions by Bea!)
Just the Way You Are by Billy Joel at The Westmont Diner’s “Sundays with Sinatra,” 8/27/2023. (Karaoke purchased here.)
Mandy by Barry Manilow, at the final “Sundays with Sinatra” at The Westmont Diner, 11/19/2023. (Karaoke purchased here.)
Betwitched, Bothered and Bewildered by Frank Sinatra. Another love song from the crooning era. (Karaoke purchased here.)
Weekend in New England by Barry Manilow – at the 4/30/2023 Red, White and Brew open mic, hosted by Reseda Band. (Karaoke purchased here.) This performance – and this amazing crowd – is a highlight for me, and is featured on the main page of this website.
