Yoda Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Hiya... Can you guys suggest any songs that are similar to Mariah Carey's "Vision Of Love", Celine Dion's "I Love You", and Vince Vance & The Valients "All I Want For Christmas Is You" I would call these bluesy type ballads, I guess. Anyway, that's what I'm looking for - any suggestions? - Jessica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daslied Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 They're not really similar to those songs, but two of the greatest blusey ballads I know are "I've Been Loving You Too Long" by Ike & Tina Turner and "Guilty" by Bonnie Raitt.

Sweet Jane 61 Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 I like these blues love ballads... Percy Mayfield ~ "Please Send Me Someone to Love" Lenny Welch ~ "Since I Fell for You" B.B. King ~ "You Know I Love You" Clarence Carter ~ "Slip Away" Led Zeppelin ~ "Babe I'm gonna Leave You" Janis Joplin ~ "Summertime" There are a lot of good blues ballads out there, hope you find ones you like.

Steel2Velvet Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Ray Charles' "Georgia On my Mind" and "Born To Lose" come to mind immediately. James Brown's "This is a Man's World" is raw and bluesy, yet with the feel of a ballad. I'm sure others will offer many more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewYorkMets9 Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 "Since I've Been Loving You" - Led Zeppelin and as shameful and possibly off target as this is, "Every Rose Has It's Thorn" by Poison. That is the only Poison song I will listen to. Feel free to make fun of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesboy Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 another Elvis Presley bluesy ballad is - Love Me ( Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller) Treat me like a fool, Treat me mean and cruel, But love me. Wring my faithful heart, Tear it all apart, But love me. If you ever go, Darling, I'll be oh so lonely I'll be sad and blue, Crying over you, dear only. I would beg and steal Just to feel your heart Beatin' close to mine Well, if you ever go, Darling, I'll be oh so lonely I'll be sad and blue, Crying over you, dear only. I would beg and steal Just to feel your heart Beatin' close to mine Well, if you ever go, Darling, I'll be oh so lonely Beggin' on knees, All I ask is please, please love me Oh yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
