Love has always been the key ingredient to a popular song. From the Beatles “Love Me Do” in the early 60s, to “Love Yourself” by Justin Bieber, love conquers all.
“Waiting For a Girl Like You” by Foreigner came at the height of corporate rock and added more fans to the fan base of an already popular group.
“Sister Christian” by Night Ranger is a song about the lead singer’s sister, but we didn’t care. The song was rich in harmony and meaningful lyrics and the bands biggest hit.
“Strong Enough” by newcomer Cheryl Crow became an anthem to women all across the land and kicked started this unknown Michael Jackson background singer.
“Cherish” by Kool and the Gang was the single most used wedding song in the mid-80s, proving that love is all that matters; in life and in death.
Finally, what can you say about “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston? This song proved that Whitney stood alone as the most powerful female singer, perhaps of all time. Its use in the romantic movie ‘The Bodyguard’ starring Whitney and hunk Kevin Costner blew movie and music fans away.
