Friday Random Ten

A dear member of our extended blog family, Leigh, is getting married in a week and needs a list of essential reception dance songs. Now that we’ve been called to duty, we’ll give it our best shot.

A very special edition of the Friday Random Ten:

1. Step in the Name of Love by R. Kelly (Blackink)

2. Back at One by Brian McKnight (Jamelle)

3. I Love You More Than You’ll Ever Know by Donny Hathaway (Belleisa)

4. You Put A Move On My Heart by Tamia (Shani-o)

5. Lady in My Life by Michael Jackson (Belleisa)

6. Isn’t It Romantic? by Ella Fitzgerald (Shani-o)

7. Can’t Let Go by Anthony Hamilton (Blackink)

8. You Were Meant for Me by Donny Hathaway (Belleisa)

9. At Last by Eva Cassidy (Shani-o)

10. Apache by Sugar Hill Gang (Blackink).

Leigh, if you need any ideas for an acceptable routine to accompany “Apache,” Will and Carlton will be your guides. Or you could just do this. Whichever.

If anyone else has suggestions or links or a kind word for the bride-to-be, you all know where to leave them.

That said, we’d like to offer Leigh a very sincere congratulations. Best wishes.

    Actually, my suggestion is “Always and Forever”- Heatwave

  • Grump

    I see you G.D.!!!!
    I raise you “Ribbon In The Sky”

  • THANK YOU!!

    This is so fabulous!

    I love Back at One. My dad and stepmom’s song was Here and Now! For Lionel I have “My Love” (and for some faster #s, Lady, by The Commodores. Man, I LOVE The Commodores).

    We are dancing our first dance to Kiss of Life by Sade.

    My bridesmaid Nikki and I are going through this list now, both enjoying As and agreeing we could not have named this song to save our lives.

    Love to Postbourgie!!
