Fearless Fave Five: Best Love Songs of All Time

With Valentine's Day around the corner, it's time you got your playlist together to court that special someone. I can't think of anything better to do than play love songs for your sweetheart.

Throughout the week I've been asking listeners on air what they thought was the best love song ever. The answers came from all genres of music, from the classics to the Oldies But Goodies, Country, Top-40, Rock and Roll, and Rap. And with every title I saw, I kept nodding and saying, yep that's a great song, oh wow, that's a great song too.

Being that I grew up listening to everything from classic old country to Rat Pack classics, Mexican music, and Top-40, I have my Fearless Fave Five that I always start singing just before Valentine's Day.

See if you agree with my Fave Five, our listener's favorites, and the others generated by SmoothRadio.com. Though I've been on the radio for decades, there are some songs I didn't recognize. However I listened to them and I tend to agree that they are good love songs.

Turn up the volume, fix something to drink, and fall in love all over again. We'll start with my Fearless Fave Five:
