Thread Name: Songs for a wedding dinner
Subject: RE: Need Music Suggestions
Clinton...congrats on upcoming wedding. I already am an Ink Spots junkie, have been since I first heard Java Jive.

Re music, For lush instrumentals, classy and romantic, Paul Westson can't be beat. The Music for Easy Listening CD is not Musak-y, despite the title (most cuts originally recorded in the 50's I think), and has lovely renditions of such songs as You Go to My Head, All the Thngs you Are, and My Romance (nice vocal version available from Mel Torme...I know, the Velvet Fog, but straight ahead he can be pretty good). June Christy (vocals, w/Pete Ruggolo/orch): Midnite Sun, Softly as in a Morning Sunrise, I'll Take Romance. Julie London has a pretty good romantic voice too, on such oldies as I'm Glad There is You. As I'm not vry familiar with the original 3 songs/performers you listed, ignore if these are far off the mark.
