Gavin Degraw Week – Day 2

In my quest to bring y’all interesting stuff about Gavin Degraw this week, I found a link to Gavin Degraw’s 17 Most Romantic Songs from, of course, Seventeen magazine.

The list:
I’ve Been Loving You Too Long – Otis Redding
Cupid – Sam Cooke
The Tracks of My Tears – Smokey Robinson
Last Goodbye – Jeff Buckley
A Song for You – Leon Russell
All I Could Do Was Cry – Etta James
Angel Eyes – John Hiatt
True Companion – Marc Cohn
That Where It’s At – Sam Cooke
That’s How Strong My Love Is – Otis Redding

Aaah, Sam Cooke. I have to agree. But I think I would have chosen “You Send Me.” Check this out:

If you were teenager in the ’80s, the most romantic intersection on the planet was the corner of the record store where Otis Redding met Jon Cryer in Pretty in Pink.

For your consideration: “Try a Little Tenderness” ala Ducky.

Sigh.
