Karaoke songs in Western music that get men in their 60s excited: World classics and recommended popular tracks (1–10)
How Deep Is Your LoveBee Gees
A single by the Bee Gees released in 1977.
In Japanese, the title is “Ai wa Kirameki no Naka ni,” and it was featured on the soundtrack of the film Saturday Night Fever.
It has been covered many times; more recently, a cover by the British male group Take That became a hit.
It’s a refreshing song, so it might be a good choice to end a karaoke session.
The Greatest Love Of AllGeorge Benson
A 1977 number by jazz and fusion guitarist George Benson.
Whitney Houston’s cover version is super famous, right? It was also the theme song for the autobiographical film of world heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali, “Ali: The Greatest – My Own Story.” George Benson’s vocals on this original version are also outstanding—you almost forget he’s a guitarist.
A Woman Needs LoveRay Parker Jr.
In Japan, Ray Parker Jr.
is best known for the theme song to the movie Ghostbusters, but he’s actually a master of cutting-style guitar as well.
“A Woman Needs Love” is a hit from the period when he shifted toward an AOR sound.
If you’ve got confidence in your sexy voice, give it a try!
Saturday In The ParkCHICAGO
A classic early Chicago song, released in 1972.
It’s from the era when they were called a “brass rock band,” before they became an AOR group.
It was even used in a car TV commercial, right? The song evokes a Saturday afternoon with cheerful spring weather.
Chicago’s AOR era is great too, but if you’re going to sing, I think the early Chicago songs feel more tasteful and stylish!
Take It EasyThe Eagles
This is the debut single and one of the signature songs by the American country/West Coast band the Eagles, released in 1972.
It was co-written by Glenn Frey and Jackson Browne, with Frey on lead vocals.
It was also used on the TV show “Let’s Stay in the Countryside!” It’s a very relaxed number, so let’s sing it together in a friendly, easygoing mood!
LaylaEric Clapton
Released in 1971, this is a number from the Derek and the Dominos era.
The song reflects Clapton’s feelings at the time.
He was hopelessly in love with George Harrison’s wife, Pattie Boyd, and as his longing grew, this song was born.
Pattie married Clapton in 1979, but they divorced nine years later.
It can also work well to sing it with a slightly husky tone and a bit of vocal ornamentation.
We Are the ChampionsQueen
Released in 1977, this song is loved worldwide as an anthem celebrating sporting victories.
Freddie Mercury’s powerful vocals and the sing-along friendliness that invites the crowd are its key charms.
Its popularity remains strong, having even been chosen as an official theme song for the 1994 FIFA World Cup.
When sung by a large crowd in a stadium, it can make you feel as if you yourself are the champion.
It’s the perfect track for moments when you want to feel the bond with your teammates or celebrate life’s victories.
