Also, there is a singer who has great *mood* songs. Not steamy (sorry Snowwark), but more of a ballad singer whose voice really appeals to me. He recorded "Wind Beneath My Wings" before Bette Midler ever it and I love his version better. His name is Roger Whitaker and he is most famous for "The Last Farewell* and "Durham Town". Two of his songs that would fit this category are "What Love Is" and "Summer in The Country (New Love)".

I thought Roger Whitaker was best known for his late nite commercials on the B grade tv stations where they proclaim him the worlds most popular singer...

 

[Snowwark]

Why Worry - Dire Straits

When A Man Loves A Woman - Percy Sledge

Uhhh.. I really hate to do this. . but I have to agree with Alex. .

Roger Whitaker was the subject of many late night commercials for his "Greatest Hits" collection.. I believe his claim to fame was that he sold more records then the Beatles in Nairobi or something like that. .

 

[Tulirose]

Well, where was I during all these commercials? I would have bought the whole Kit and Kaboodle!!! Nairobi you say... well, he was born in Kenya I believe. Hey, I don't care (even though I feel as if I have been stabbed in the heart ). He has such an appealing maculine voice. AND HIS SONGS ARE ROMANTIC TO ME!! Which is the topic of this thread! So there!



Has anyone yet mentioned "Earth Angel"?

Aww Tulirose, if Roger Whitaker's songs are romantic to YOU, that's all that matters! What's with the men named Roger anyway??

You Send Me, that's a good one!!

 

[Girls Scout Leader]

Don't forget selections by Lionel Richey, maybe some Rod Stewart -- not "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" but something like "You're In My Heart".

Just please, no "I like my Women Just A Little On The Trashy Side"

 

[Disney Doll]

Rod Stweart's new CD..."I'll Be Seeing You".

 

[Snowwark]

I'm not familiar with that song Girls Scout Leader, maybe that's a good thing??

Another oldie, but a goodie:

Slow Hand - The Pointer Sisters

It turns out Roger was really big in Germany! He even played at this famous event!
