 IN ANTICIPATION OF VALENTINE’S DAY, HERE’S MY LIST OF THE 10 GREATEST LOVE SONGS OF ALL TIME. I’LL POST A SONG EVERY DAY THROUGH VALENTINE’S DAY. 


Gus Kahn is in the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and with good reason. He wrote some impressive lyrics, some of the biggest songs of the 1920’s

Kahn’s songs were so popular that his yearly earnings during the 20’s often surpassed that of the legendary Babe Ruth.

This refrain penned by Kahn will live forever:


For nobody else, gave me a thrill
with all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you….
 

A famous version is Harry Connick, Jr’s, from the soundtrack to When Harry Met Sally.






Then in the 90’s, Rod Stewart titled his first and phenomenally successful Great American Songbook collection,  "It Had to Be You."
