TOP TEN DANCE LOVE SONGS OF ALL TIME
BY DJ MARK BISSON
With Valentines Day this month I decided to get all warm and fuzzy and spotlight my choices for the top ten dance songs, about love, of all time. And to make it interactive, I have recorded all of my selections onto a live mix that you can listen to on my website. Just go to my site and click on the Live Mix tab and select the mix entitled Heart. Be sure and e-mail me your feedback along with any blatant omissions on my part.
Anyone who knows me very well would know that MacArthur Park Suite by Donna Summer is my favorite dance song of all time, and since it’s about love this would be my number one pick. The whole “cake left out in the rain” thing is just an analogy to true love (i.e. the cake which took so long to make is the love of her life which took so long to find). Lola’s Theme by Shapeshifters (the modern disco superstars) takes the number two spot. Number three goes to another classic from the seventies, Without Your Love by Cut Glass. This song was probably the most played anthem at clubs like the Saint in New York and the Probe here in LA up until they closed. The number four spot is a tie between two recent tracks Be Without You by Mary J Blige and Mesmerized by Faith Evans. Both songs have a similar feel to them and are destined to become house classics. The number five position goes to the much-sampled, and newly remixed Love Sensation by Loleatta Holloway. For number six, I chose a classic song from the early nineties by M People entitled How Can I Love You More. For number seven, also from the early nineties, I chose Finally by Ce Ce Peniston. I dare say there is probably not a person on the planet that hasn’t heard this extremely catchy song. We dig back into the seventies for number eight, Love Hangover by Diana Ross. Number nine, released in the late nineties, is the absolutely gorgeous Heaven by Sarah Washington. Last but not least, a male vocal for number ten, You’re The First, The Last, My Everything by Barry White.
