How‘Bout UsChampaign
A ballad tune that pledges a steadfast love, saying, “There are lovers who overcome any hardship and stay true to their love.
We can surely do it too.” Its fresh, moody melody feels like a tropical breeze, yet surprisingly, Champaign was actually from Chicago.
I Want You, I Need YouChris Christian
Though he’s from Texas, he has a refreshing West Coast-style voice.
Some consider him a one-hit wonder, but for AOR fans he’s an essential artist.
He’s also shown his talent as a producer.
Perfect for summer drives.
Sara SmileDaryl Hall & John Oates
One of the most popular groups representing the ’80s is Hall & Oates.
However, when it comes to the song their longtime fans adore, it’s their 1976 hit “Sara Smile.” It’s said to be about Daryl Hall’s then-girlfriend, Sara.

Little LiesFleetwood Mac
A mixed-gender rock band formed in ’67.
They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in ’98—Fleetwood Mac.
It’s a tender yet sorrowful love song that goes, “I close my eyes and wish time would turn back.
I want you to tell me a gentle lie.”
My Eyes Adored YouFrankie Valli
I’ve been watching you all this time… You used to be so close, but now you’ve gone far away… The song also appeared in the film Jersey Boys, and while Frankie Valli was the lead vocalist, he made it a hit as a solo artist.
In Japan, Noriyuki Makihara also covered it.
Tomorrow TodayGilbert O’Sullivan
When you think of Gilbert O’Sullivan, Alone Again immediately comes to mind, right? If that one is a song about life, this one is a love song about a man bewildered by a rift with the one he loves.
No matter the theme, his indescribably gentle voice is what makes him so soothing.
The One You LoveGlenn Frey
In January 2016, Glenn Frey sadly passed away.
From top-tier studio musician to a member of the Eagles, he also produced many hits as a solo artist.
His ballads in particular are beyond reproach.
This slow number about a love triangle is brimming with mature allure.
