Question:I have been asked to suggest tracks for a wedding dance. I would like to suggest some waltzes, but most of the ones I can think of are at least 50 years old. I also don't want to suggest some boy band rehash of a classic. I want to suggest something that people actually like as a track even if they don't dance to it; but songs in 3/4 time are rare.

The only thing I can think of so far is "Take it to the Limit" by the Eagles. Has anyone got any suggestions along those lines?

Well for my exams, I am doing a waltz to "You Raise Me Up - Josh Groban" and it's a really beautiful tune. Perfect for a wedding. :) Also, how about "What a wonderful world - Louis Armstrong". It's a pretty old song but it's a good track. Although you might have trouble finding it in waltz form since as the song is in V. Waltz form.
Take a look at the websites below for a wider choice.

Robbie Williams "Beyond the Sea" is very good also consider Barry Manilow "Let's take alnight to say goodnight"
