"Cool Night" is a song by Paul Davis that was a #11 single in January 1982. It was one of two top-twenty hits on the Billboard Hot 100 from the album Cool Night. The other was "'65 Love Affair", which went to #6 in April of that same year.
Paul Lavon Davis (April 21, 1948 – April 22, 2008) was an American singer and songwriter, best known for his radio hits and solo career which started worldwide in 1970. His career encompassed soul, country and pop music. Notable songs in his career include 1977's "I Go Crazy", a #7 pop hit which once held the record for the longest chart run on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as the #6 "'65 Love Affair", his highest pop hit. In the mid 1980s, he also had two country #1 hits as a guest vocalist on songs by Marie Osmond and Tanya Tucker, and wrote singles for other country singers.

"I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song" is the title of a posthumously-released single by the American singer-songwriter Jim Croce. The song was written by Croce and was originally found on his album I Got a Name.
Croce was killed in a small plane crash in September 1973, the same week that his studio album I Got a Name was released. Following the delayed release of a song from Croce's previous album ("Time in a Bottle") in late 1973, "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song" was chosen as the second single released from the singer's final studio album. It peaked at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in April 1974, becoming Croce's fifth Top 10 hit.

Croce wrote the song in early 1973 when he arrived home and got into a disagreement with his wife, Ingrid. Instead of arguing with her, Ingrid has stated that Croce "went downstairs, and he started to play, like he always did when he wrote...the next morning, he came up early in the morning and sang it to me."

"You Can't Hurry Love" is a number-one single recorded by The Supremes for the Motown label, released during the summer of 1966.
Written and produced by Motown's main production team, Holland–Dozier–Holland, "You Can't Hurry Love" is one of the signature Supremes songs, and also one of Motown's signature releases. The single became The Supremes' seventh number-one hit, topping the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for two weeks, from September 4, 1966 to September 17, 1966, and reaching number one on the soul chart for two weeks. The girl group performed the song on the CBS variety program The Ed Sullivan Show on Sunday, September 25, 1966.
Sixteen years later, the song again became a number-one hit when Phil Collins' 1982 cover version reached number-one on the UK Singles Chart for two weeks beginning on January 9, 1983.

"(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me" is a song written in the 1960s by songwriting team Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Dionne Warwick made the original demonstration recording of the tune in 1963. Originally a minor hit for the American singer Lou Johnson (#49 on the Billboard Hot 100), it was then discovered by the British pop manager Eve Taylor on a visit to the U.S. whilst looking for songs for her new recruit Sandie Shaw. Shaw's version became her breakthrough hit in her home country in 1964 - staying at #1 on the UK Singles Chart for three weeks, later reaching #52 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the U.S.
It was also the first hit for the British group Naked Eyes, who took the song into the American Top 10 in 1983, peaking at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100. Naked Eyes' version, which curiously failed to make the Top 40 in the UK, remains a staple on Adult Contemporary radio stations.

"Almost Paradise...Love Theme from Footloose" is the title of a duet by singers Mike Reno and Ann Wilson, written by pop music singer-songwriter Eric Carmen.
Reno is best known as the lead singer of the rock band Loverboy, while Wilson (along with her sister Nancy) are the vocalists for the band Heart. Both bands achieved a significant amount of success in the 1980s, and Reno and Ann Wilson were approached to record a duet for the 1984 film Footloose. Officially listed as the "Love Theme from Footloose" on the film's soundtrack, "Almost Paradise" was one of three Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart found on the soundtrack, where it peaked at #7 and spent 13 weeks in the Top 40.[1] The other hits from this soundtrack include "Footloose" by Kenny Loggins and "Let's Hear It for the Boy" by Deniece Williams, both of which went to #1 on the pop chart.[2] "Almost Paradise" was also a hit on the adult contemporary chart in the United States, where it spent one week at #1.[3] Both singers resumed their respective roles within their bands following this one-off recording.

'Hit Me with Your Best Shot" sold one million copies, achieving a gold certification by the RIAA. The song is arguably Benatar's most recognizable. It can be heard at many soccer games, and is featured on many of Benatar's greatest hits compilations. Benatar herself has said several times that because of the song's excessive popularity, she dislikes performing it live.

"Speak Softly Love (Love Theme From The Godfather)" is a song written for The Godfather (1972), the first film in the Godfather trilogy. While its instrumental version is simply known as "The Godfather theme", "Speak Softly Love" is the vocal version.
Originally sung by Andy Williams, other artists, such as Al Martino and Bobby Vinton, have also recorded the song. Slash of Velvet Revolver (formerly of Guns N' Roses) had also performed it in a hard rock style. Jamaican singer Ken Boothe recorded a reggae version. Satan's Pilgrims have performed a surf rock version as well. Gianni Morandi had covered the song under the title Parla Più Piano. Dalida had also covered under the title Parle plus bas (Le Parrain), as well as Tino Rossi and Marie Laforêt[1]. A Ukrainian version "Say, You Love Me" Ukrainian: Скажи, що любиш (Skazhi schyo lyubish) was performed by Sofia Rotaru in the musical film "Song Is Always With Us", as the Soviet administration did not allow to register the original English version for the Godfather's soundtrack following the offer from Ariola (Sony BMG Music Entertainment).
