This was not very difficult as I have not heard many oldies but these are the most
hummables; touching your soul with the simple strings of catchy music.
Not in any particular order; have added some lyrics where I could .I do not know much about most of the below artists but these numbers are truly lovely to this day
- Rhythm of the Rain - The Cascades
Foot tapping music - very catchy, very hummable
*’Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I’ve been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again
The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart’*
- Oh Carol - N Sedaka
Ahh the one with several cover versions - will make you break into dance with your girl.
Perfect for pleading her .
*’Oh! Carol, I am but a fool,
Darling I love you tho’ you treat me cruel,
You hurt me and you made me cry
But if you leave me I will surely die’*
- Unchained Melody - Righteous Brothers
This is what I call a passionate song - the sound from deep within the heart. You will
automatically sing along the Righteous Brothers.
This is a very powerful song
*’Oh, my love
My darling
I’ve hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
Time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love’ *
- I’d love you to want me - Lobo
Very Lovy Lovy song with some great music
*’When I saw you standing there
I about fell off my chair
When you moved your mouth to speak
I felt the blood go to my feet
Now it took time for me to know
What you tried so not to show
Something in my soul just cried
I see the want in your blue eyes’*
- Before The Next Teardrop Falls - Freddie Fender
The Lyrics below say it all.
*If He Brings You Happiness
Then I Wish You All The Best
It’s Your Happiness That Matters Most Of All
But If He Ever Breaks Your Heart
If The Teardrops Ever Start
I’ll Be There Before The Next Teardrop Falls*
- Tell Laura I love her - Ray Peterson
One of my fav Ballads
*Laura and Tommy were lovers
He wanted to give her everything
Flowers, presents and most of all, a wedding ring
He saw a sign for a stock car race
A thousand dollar prize it read
He couldn’t get Laura on the phone
So to her mother Tommy said
Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura I may be late
I’ve something to do, that cannot wait
He drove his car to the racing grounds
He was the youngest driver there
The crowed roared as they started the race
’Round the track they drove at a deadly pace
No one knows what happened that day
How his car overturned in flames
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck
With his dying breath, they heard him say
Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die*
Stand By Me - Ben King
Killing me softly - Roberta Flack
Groovy Kind of Love - Wayne Fontana?
*Go ahead and sweep your love off her/his feet - Guaranteed Love Results;-)*
