Thanks!
But "With Your Love" is disqualified. It's been awhile since I've heard it and a recent listen on Rhapsody tells me its tempo is a little too fast to be a "slow dance song"...I still like it anyway.  :)

'With Your Love' is a great song...as is most of Jefferson Starship's material of that time!  :)

Dynamite choice in terms of slow dancing!  But his career didn't really take off until around 1980.

'Cruisin'' - Smokey Robinson

Deliciously slow with just enough beat in it to

a) keep talentless dancers like me in some sort of rhythm and

b) slip in a few 'naughty' bumps and grinds in!  :D ;)

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!


Sorry, just a reaction, I can't even listen to them do that song.  It was written as a rockabilly song and was done much better by Roy Orbison, but I think Jim Capaldi did it the best.
