Your most 'gentle' love song.
 

I would have to think what mine was but heard this being sung today by a lad with a guitar in town and thought it must come close.

"My Girl" - The Temptations - YouTube

Conjures up flower power, San Francisco etc. Unfortunately by then I was too busy fighting in the rat race to wear flowers.

By the way, did you know' The song is notable because the six ascending guitar notes in the opening riff over the C cord are a perfect example of a C major pentatonic scale, played exactly from octave to octave'? (Wikipedia)

Neither did I-just thought it was a lovely song!

So what's your 'gentle' love song?

And no thread wanders onto the usual subject!

Watching the video tells me I must be very old!

That's not 'Gentle'!
It's about as sexy as you can get and I love it but if you thought that was 'Gentle' I'm not sure we could post your idea of a 'sexy' song except in the over 18's.

Hard call that one, Commodores, Earth, Wind & Fire, Rose Royce, all part of the repertoire for my amorous teen tumbles & the lucky lady ? :rolleyes: On the given evening was even offered a bag o' chips with the option of a jumbo Sossy covered in a gravy/curry of choice.

Proper chivalric me. :s_aim1:

Haha can't help but notice it's all blokes who have posted so far!

Here's my contribution, OK it's not a pop song and the words are in foreign, but trust me it's a love song and I think one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written.

Pur ti miro - Nuria Rial, Philippe Jaroussky, Christina Pluhar and l'Arpeggiata (Claudio Monteverdi) - YouTube

Shows what a bunch of gentle souls we are underneath all the blag & laddish banter. (Yeah right) :D

Re: Your most 'gentle' love song.
 

You're right, DinG. And how typical of a woman to post some foreigners stuff which we men can't understand and then ask us to trust her!
I always thought Monteverdi was a hill with trees on it. You live and learn.

That's the Coppice, Gordon!

Re: Your most 'gentle' love song.
 

Exactly, susie! Nothing to do with 'gentle' love songs.

There's no romance in you women.

A song about the Coppice-and not even in English!

Thought we were on about copping off ??? :w00t:

I know I'm a sentimental , old fool , but this is my choice .
