I'm thinking about getting the top ten slow dance tracks of the last 5 decades onto a disc for ease of use, what do you recommend?

Here's half a dozen I use regularly

Don't Leave me This Way - Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes
If You Don't Know Me By Know- Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes
You're All I Need to Get By - Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell
When Will I See You Again - Three Degrees
When a Man Loves a Woman - Percy Sledge
Do That To Me One More Time - Captain & Tennille

Heres too

Champaign - How 'bout us My first dance at my second wedding

Dire Straits - Romeo & Juliet My first dance at my first wedding

Hmm interesting. Only 1 of these I tend to play which is Percy Sledge. The Marvin Gaye is a fantastic tune.

You old romantic!!

I like "you're the best thing that ever happened to me" by Gladys Knight

Reo speedwagon, Ronan Keating and Van Morrison all go well at suitable occasions.

Three Times A Lady - Commodores
Lady in Red - Chris De Burgh
Angels - Robbie Williams

Don't Leave me This Way - Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes - one of my personal favourites, especially the full length version. Went down a storm at a Wedding in Warrington this year, but not as a slowly!

My top ten 'safe' suggestion in no particular order -

Amazed - Lonestar
From This Moment On - Sania Twain
Truly Madly Deeply - Savage Garden
Unforgettable - Natalie & Nat King Cole
Everything I Do - Bryan Adams
I Don't Want to Miss A Thing - Aerosmith
Let's Stay Together - Al Green
Just The Way You Are - Billy Joel
Have I Told You Lately - Van Morrison
What A Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong

George Michael - Careless Whisper is the one I play the most.
Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You
Madonna - Crazy For You
