Songs that, umm, set the mood?

My sister wore out this 45 when she was 15. Not sure who the object of her crush was as I was a clueless nine year old at the time, but my mom had a good time teasing her about it.

So, so romantic: Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, In a Sentimental Mood.

In A Sentimental Mood
I can see the stars come thru my room
While your loving attitude
Is like a flame that lights the gloom
On the wings of ev'ry kiss
Drift a melody so strange and sweet
In this sentimental bliss you make my
Paradise complete...

 
Gotta have a song from Billie Holiday. Romance tinged with sadness.

Living for you is easy living
It's easy to live when you're in love
And I'm so in love
There is nothing in life but you...

 
Probably should include some doo-wop slow songs. Those of us of a certain age may remember this from high school dances.

Sadly, we lost another of the greats last week.
David Sanborn is uncredited on this version from the move, American Gigolo.
Song hit #28 on the Hot 100 in 1980.
Sanborn would release his own version on the LP Hideaway.
