This medley, seemingly unconnected in any way, came about because two events happened on this date in music history.
On June 23, 1967, producer George Martin recorded the orchestra background – beginning with the first few bars of the French national anthem, La Marseillaise – for All You Need Is Love, which would be The Beatles contribution to Our World, the first live, international satellite television production, which was broadcast two days later to an audience estimated to be over 500 million people around the globe.
The second event was the release of Dean Martin’s Everybody Loves Somebody on June 23, 1964. Coming in the midst of the British Invasion, it surprisingly climbed to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Okay, so I had two songs with “Love” in the title. What could I do with that? Then it hit me. Add songs from different genres but still containing “Love” in the title.
And so here it is; pop, country, crooners, and even a little ditty from the psychedelic genre. Every song has that word in the title. So yeah, it may sound disjointed but how bad can a “Love” song medley be?

Love is all WE need. I feel better already 🙂
Thank you, Rose 🥰
To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.
I’m so glad this put a smile on your face. 🙂
Love is and always has been the answer.❤️
The book of life is brief once the page is read! But love prevails, and which is better giving love or receiving love? This has been such a wonderful medley, making me feel very melancholy. I have listened to it 2 1/2 times, and may have to play it again. Love the Beatles, and all you need is love! But I also was so thrilled with Perry Como and Dean Martin and their timeless melodies that only a crooner can sing. This whole medley was tops in my book! Ray this was definitely a good choice. You’re the best 🥰
Thank you, Sandy 🥰
The only thing we never get enough of is love; and the only thing we never give enough of is love.
Ray you can’t have enough love songs ever!! We need it so much!! Faith and Tim what a great surprise!! Wow Perry Como what a treat!! This reminds me last nite Nancy and I watched Lady Gaga’s birthday for Tony Bennet my point is we are so lucky to have such great artists!! And for those that don’t know that glass in Deans hand was really apple juice!!(little trivia!!) What talent and he did get every girl to love him!! Love love love!! Thank you Ray for another outstanding day of music and you are right love is all we need!! love ya!!
Thanks, Fred.
This was just another reminder that wonderful music came from artists other than rock singers.
It’s also a reminder that we are most alive when we are in love.
Love Ya!
No matter what, all you need is love, and EVERYBODY loves somebody sometime!! You can never play enough loves songs. Love all of these-just made me happy.
