Recommended Western music for women in their 50s: World masterpieces and popular songs (91–100)
Baby LoveThe Supremes
This song is used all over Japan, so I think many people are familiar with it.
The melody is gentle, and Diana Ross’s voice is soft and beautiful, making it easy to listen to.
The lyrics suggest he might run away, yet her passion also comes through.
To Know Him Is To Love HimAmy Winehouse
Originally released by The Teddy Bears in 1958, this track has been recorded by many artists, including Nancy Sinatra and Peter and Gordon.
An acoustic version by British singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse was released in 2007.
Sugar Baby LoveThe Rubettes
“Sugar Baby Love” is a single released in 1974 by the British band The Rubettes.
The song is a doo-wop tune with an oldies vibe that became a worldwide hit.
It’s also very popular in Japan and is still frequently heard today in commercials and elsewhere.
Brimming with unbridled brightness and a sense of happiness, it also carries a distinctly summery feel.
Three Times A LadyCommodores
A swoon-worthy, passionate love ballad that sings, “Even if I were reborn three times, the only one I’d love is you.” It’s a hit by the Commodores, the band Lionel Richie was in during the 1970s.
It remains a popular wedding song today.
Baby Hold OnEddie Money
Before becoming a rocker, “Big Brother” Eddie Money had the unusual background of having been an officer with the NYPD.
His full-throttle, carnivorous wild-guy persona appealed not only to women but also to men.
In 1978, this song climbed to No.
11 on the U.
S.
charts.
He continues to be energetically active on the live circuit today.
Telephone LineElectric Light Orchestra
Even when I call her, there’s no sign she’ll pick up.
Still, I can’t help but say “Hello…”—a bittersweet love song of lingering regret.
Among ELO’s many upbeat electro-pop and rock numbers, this one is so suffused with helpless sorrow it makes your chest ache.
Then He Kiss Me（Be My Baby）Rachel Sweet
In ’78, Rachel Sweet debuted as a genius country girl singer.
Her sexy-cute Lolita-like voice—like a younger Dolly Parton—became a hot topic.
This song, popular not only with men but also with women, was frequently played on the radio at the time.
