Tell Us Your Top Tunes for Valentine's
Name some of your favorites and we'll make a Spotify playlist for you to enjoy.
What's Valentine's Day without appropriate music? A box of chocolates, some flowers and fine food will get you just so far.
We want to know what your favorite romantic song is. Tell us and we'll add it to Spotify to create a romantic playlist, which we'll share with you on Valentine's Day.
What's your favorite? Is it something by Norah Jones or Frank Sinatra? The Beatles or Beyonce? Marvin Gaye or Mariah Carey?
Tell us in the comments and we'll start working on the list.

I just want to say that mine are all Italian love songs from the opera or similar genre's. My all-time favorite is "Torna a Surriento," the Neopolitan classic written by Ernesto De Curtis in 1902. Can others weigh in on this: Am I living in the past, or something?

I'd say "My One and Only Love", the one on the Coltrane/Hartman album. There are about four on that album that would work fine. One of the great vocal albums of all time, in my opinion, all that and Coltrane too.
