I can still remember a party back in the days of kissing games like 'spin the bottle' and 'post office'; I was 13 years old and the party was at the local Rec center in my small town. I had a little sweetheart and I remember we put Aaron Neville's "Tell It Like It Is" 45 on the hi-fi and positioned that apparatus that held the 45s in place over to the side so it would play over and over and over. We had a 30 minute slow dance to the same record until a chaperone finally came over and changed it!
some other great slow dance songs;
"Sitting In The Park" and "I Do Love You"-Billy Stewart
"Last Date"-Floyd Cramer
"In My Room"-the Beach Boys
"I'm So Proud"-the Impressions
"Ooo Baby Baby"-the Miracles

Aba21:
"You Better Go" - was it a female or male you remember singing this? (Nancy Wilson recorded a version of this song).
The Friends' "I Really Hope You Do" is a wonderful ballad from their "Grazin'" album which also had "Going In Circles" & "Lonesome Mood".
Delfonics - 'Nuff Said! (I may add "Over & Over" to the list, though...)

Are You talking about "You Better Go"by Derek Martin? His song is awesome! Nancy Wilson or Marlena Shaw's "Go Away Little Boy".
By KevGo (64.115.26.80) on Tuesday, May 13, 2003 - 04:34 pm: |
Soul Sister:
Yes, it was Derek Martin who first cut "You Better Go" as you well know. Nancy later recorded her version on Capitol in the mid to late 1960s.
A great song by one of my favorite writers, Teddy "Goin' Out Of My Head" Randazzo.
