top ten first dances
After being involved in numerous weddings down the years, we present here our run down of the top ten potential first dances for your wedding.
- Something - Beatles
1968 classic written by George Harrison for the Abbey Road album. The song was written in honour of George's first wife Patti Boyd. - Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton 1977 from the Slowhand album. Yet another song about Patti Boyd. Has this lady had more songs written about her than anyone else!
- Endless Love - Diana Ross and Lionel Richie
1980s classic penned by Lionel Richie as a duet with Diana Ross. Reached no. 7 in the charts in 1981. - Can't Help Falling in Love - Elvis Presley
He's still the King! UB40 scored a number 1 with a reggae cover in 1993 but it's still Elvis' version that cuts it for a first dance. - When I fall in love - Nat King Cole
Sublime classic from the sorely missed Nat King Cole reaching number 2 in 1957. - What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
If ever there was a song to lift your spirits then this is it. Charted at Number 1 in 1968. - We've only just begun - The Carpenters
There Carpenter's finest moment. I've never really been a fan but this song can move anyone. - At Last - Etta James
Vocals to die for in this wedding classic. Real soul and blues power combined with a beautiful melody line. - In My Life - Beatles
Retrospective classic from the Fab Four. Now usually heard after Liverpool's European Cup nights but remains a touching timeless classic. - One Moment in Time - Whitney Houston
1988 worldwide smash and Number 1 in the UK. A real high point in the singin diva's career.
