Recommended Western music for women in their 50s: World masterpieces and popular songs (91–100)
Sugar Baby LoveThe Rubettes
“Sugar Baby Love” is a single released in 1974 by the British band The Rubettes.
The song is a doo-wop tune with an oldies vibe that became a worldwide hit.
It’s also very popular in Japan and is still frequently heard today in commercials and elsewhere.
Brimming with unbridled brightness and a sense of happiness, it also carries a distinctly summery feel.
Three Times A LadyCommodores
A swoon-worthy, passionate love ballad that sings, “Even if I were reborn three times, the only one I’d love is you.” It’s a hit by the Commodores, the band Lionel Richie was in during the 1970s.
It remains a popular wedding song today.
Baby Hold OnEddie Money
Before becoming a rocker, “Big Brother” Eddie Money had the unusual background of having been an officer with the NYPD.
His full-throttle, carnivorous wild-guy persona appealed not only to women but also to men.
In 1978, this song climbed to No.
11 on the U.S.
charts.
He continues to be energetically active on the live circuit today.
Telephone LineElectric Light Orchestra
Even when I call her, there’s no sign she’ll pick up.
Still, I can’t help but say “Hello…”—a bittersweet love song of lingering regret.
Among ELO’s many upbeat electro-pop and rock numbers, this one is so suffused with helpless sorrow it makes your chest ache.
Don’t Cry Out LoudRITA COOLIDGE
A masterpiece by Australian singer-songwriter Peter Allen.
For some reason, it’s a love song that’s often covered by mature female artists like Melissa Manchester and The Three Degrees.
In Japan, Rita Coolidge’s version is the most familiar.
In fact, Yukari Ito has also sung it in Japanese.
Then He Kiss Me（Be My Baby）Rachel Sweet
In ’78, Rachel Sweet debuted as a genius country girl singer.
Her sexy-cute Lolita-like voice—like a younger Dolly Parton—became a hot topic.
This song, popular not only with men but also with women, was frequently played on the radio at the time.
Sweet TrapCheap Trick
If you’re a rock-loving man in your 50s, you might know Cheap Trick.
Since their songs are straightforward, how about singing the song titled “I Want You to Want Me” to a woman? In Japanese it can be embarrassing, but in English you might be able to say it.
