“A Change Is Gonna Come” by Sam Cooke: “I have always been a big fan of Sam Cooke but I especially like this song because it feels like a conversation with a melody. There’s something about the ’60s sound that makes this song amazing.”
“Unforgettable” by Nat King Cole: “Nobody could sing a love song like Nat King Cole. This song reminds me of how simple words can make a woman feel special. It doesn’t have to be a complex, over-the-top production.”
“You Are Not Alone” by Michael Jackson: “Even though it may be about a lost love, this song is still uplifting in its own way. Michael Jackson is the true King of Pop. Need I say more?”
“I Want to Know What Love Is” by Foreigner: “My brother and I used to be in a contest to see who could sing this song better. Guess who won!”
“All My Life” by K-Ci & JoJo: “Not only is this one of the most classic love songs of its time, but I really think they were the best duet as well. This brings me back to my high school days!”
“Ordinary People” by John Legend: “This is one of the first songs I ever sang when I started to sing. It’s such a beautiful song and a great reminder that not every relationship is perfect.”
“Turn Your Lights Down Low” by Bob Marley & The Wailers: “Bob Marley is a legendary musician and performer. I love the composure on this track. It’s very sensual without trying too hard. It’s perfect to help you get in the mood.”
