My Father calls me on the phone this morning, puts this song playing on the radio and says "I'd like you to get this for me". Now, I do recall having heard it before, probably on a classics/adult contemporary station, I suspect it is from the 70's because of its sound, and I am an 80's guy, so the prior decade is not my specialty. All I can remember is that in the chorus, the male voice says "the way that i love you, the way that it should be". It is probably very vague of course, but maybe somebody reading might be a fan and recognize it, hehehe. It sounded like a mellow solo John Lennon song, kind of that, though I don't think it was him. Anyway, thanks for reading! And a hello again to everyone, have not written in a while, although I have been visiting. Johann |

Sounds like Lobo's "I'd Love You To Want Me." ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |

Yes, that's Lobo's "I'd Love You To Want Me". The chorus goes:
Baby, I'd love you to want me The way that I want you The way that it should be Love that song. It's from 1972. |

That's a first. Usually someone beats me. :-) And you're right, Gordon. That's a great tune. ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |

So, my Father is in love again at 64, and now wants not just Lobo's "I'd Love You To Want Me", but a whole CD of similar music.
70's experts, can you think of songs in the same vein, that you'd care to share to make a nice compilation for a romantic, "I'm happy to be alive thanks to love" mood? Like Olivia Newton John's "Hopelessly Devoted To You", etc. Thanks once again! |

Well, Johann, you probably can't go wrong with anything by Barry Manilow. :)
Actually, Manilow's "Could It Be Magic" would fit the bill nicely. And for something less schmaltzy, Gary Wright's "Love Is Alive" would also work. ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |

| Thanks Doug! I actually have a Barry Manilow Greatest Hits CD and did not even remember I did. Bought it at a bargain bin long ago. I will grab it tonight to use for the list! |
