I'm just now coming up for air and you've since written I think 47 posts. I'm going through them backwards as it feels less daunting. Great list of "I Love You" songs, half of which I never heard before! As there are surely a zillion songs to choose from I'm going to assume you chose these 10 (plus) by metaphorically (or literally) picking them out of a hat.

I will also say that after reading your piece, the last lines of Elvis Costello's "Pidgeon English" from his brilliant Imperial Bedroom album ("P.S. I Love You") are now repeating in my head earworm-style.

I also see that I have a "paid" button after my name, which must be a new Substack feature. Designed to shame all the others I figure!:)

Er, uh....in lieu of remuneration, I've arranged for our crack staff (not to be confused with our staff crack....that only happened at the last Christmas party, and we've destroyed all the photos) to send you a FRONT ROW & BACKSTAGE tote bag as a special thank you for your generosity!👜

I hope you enjoy, Steve, your trip thru the recent FR&B output! I'm glad you like the "I Love You" songs, and found some new ones to enjoy! As for picking songs for any Playlist, there are a lot of factors that go into my choices. Availability for one (preferably Spotify), then choice of artist...I give no extra "points" if they're popular or not. I had never heard OF Ruth Price before, so she was an easy pick once I heard how good she was.

The serendipity is a thrill to experience when it happens: I didn't know who the heck Lecrae or the Eli Young Band were, but after choosing their songs, I did the research, and lo and behold, they BOTH attended one of the colleges I attended! Granted, 30 years apart, but that's quite a co-inky-dink!! But, you're right...there are a lot of 'em! Enjoy!
