Music to Romance the Ladies

[bigmacc]

Guys did you ever use any particular music when it came to the seduction of the fairer sex; l found in my vast experience that certain music seemed to help established the mood.

Of course we all know what music inspires males when it concerns women "ANYTHING" with the exception of crap or sorry l meant rap .

bigmaccs list would include the following;
1. Santana instrumentals like Oye Yo Como Va
2. Leonard Cohen ( hot in the early 70's)
3. Marvin Gaye

Just curious- looking for new ideals.

For me, what works very well is Bossa Nova such as Toquinho or Vinicius de Moraes.

That usually sets the mood, along with dim lighting and white wine.

Two Words - Barry White

my own taste run more the Diana Krall, Yo-Yo Ma, Andrea Bocelli, Chris Issak, Sade...bluesy jazz or classical for a nice background sound

[grumpy]

Yup

Sade is great ! I also dig the great Reverend AL Green

A remark on Wardsweb's comment on Barry.

I was reading a review of Barry's latest release a few years back, the think the title was "The Icon is Love" and the reviewer had a comment about his music. This isn't a exact quote but close -

"I wonder how many children were conceived because of Barry White's music."

Check out his 2 CD greatest hits, by about the 4th song on the 1st disc is usually enough.

Maybe a little Jackal-She Loves My _______
Depends on the mood and whether or not the kids are home.

CD called Stratos has Vivaldi's Summer done very well with a great thunderstorm in the back ground. Never fails for my gal. She loves thunder storms in a big way if you know what I mean.

"Me so horny" - by 2 live crew

Guys,

Will Downing & Gerald Albright's "Pleasures of the Night" is a VERY nice album. "Smooth jazz" with vocals, very well-recorded. It's definitely my recommendation for this kind of usage!

Check it out here:

Very nice Thoots - even via windows media.

Good suggestions guys.

For this kind of work I like most of the Burt Bacharach/Hal David/Herb Alpert stuff. Some of the love ballads of the 70's are good too. Remember 'Midnight at the Oasis" by Maria Muldaur?

[Thatch_Ear]

Certainly do....something like"I'll be your camel and you can be my shiek." I actually went to listen to Judy Collins in 73. There were some real nice vocalists and not all of them rockers. Course back in those days I would have played Blue Velvet if I thought it would help. Actually what I found that what got the young ladies going at parties the most were MoTown tunes, mainly the Supremes. Got everyone singing and having fun and the party got rolling. Towards the end of the party we were usually belting out "Demon Alcohol" by the Kinks. Early 70s was a good time to be a teen.
