There is no such thing as a perfect wedding song, because we’re all different. Tastes vary. Nonetheless, beautiful love songs from today and yesterday pop up from time to time with which you’re not familiar, but would be a good fit for your wedding celebration.
Amazon’s list of the Greatest 100 Wedding Songs provides a rich source of song ideas. We wrote about the list a couple of weeks ago. You know many, maybe most of them. But some delightful songs show up on this list worth taking a listen to.
For example, Percy Sledge’s 1966 hit song, “When a Man Loves a Woman,” may not be on your radar. But it’s number 10 on the list. What makes the song so compelling is the powerful lyric about a man’s devotion to his woman. Check out these lyrics:
“When a man loves a woman,
Can’t keep his mind on nothin’ else.
He’d trade the world
For the good thing he’s found.”
Sledge’s vocal delivery is powerful:
Percy Sledge sings “When a Man Loves a Woman”
Bette Midler sang it from a woman’s perspective.
Luther Vandross’s “Always and Forever” ranks 13th on this list of perfect wedding songs. Vandross recorded the song in 1998 transforming the love song into a mellow wedding song with his velvet voice:
How would you like to dance to these lyrics?
“Always and forever
Each moment with you, yeah,
Is just like a dream to me
That somehow came true, year.”
