Recommended Western music for men in their 50s: World classics and popular songs (41–50)
Love Me TonightTom Jones
Tom Jones is a singer from Wales, United Kingdom.
With his dynamic, glamorous vocal style, he has been active since the mid-1960s.
In recent years, he boldly covered Prince’s Kiss, surprising longtime fans.
Love Me Tonight is a single released in 1969.
It’s a passionately insistent love song that became a big hit in Japan as well.

Sweetheart Like YouBob Dylan
Bob Dylan, now also renowned as a Nobel Prize in Literature laureate.
This song, with its strikingly vocal-like guitar phrases, is included on his 1983 album Infidels.
The album’s incorporation of reggae drew attention, but this track, with its spacious and clear sound, can be considered a superb ballad that fully showcases the appeal of Dylan’s singing voice.
Don’t CryASIA
This song is about something like, “She’s been through so much, and from now on I’ll always be there to support her.” Doesn’t it make you want to sing the phrase “Don’t cry” in the chorus? Women might just fall for a man with that kind of warmth and reliability.
Kiss on My ListDaryl Hall & John Oates
Daryl Hall & John Oates have a lot of hit songs, but this one makes you want to hum along to the chorus.
“Your kiss is on my list” means that your kiss is on my list, but when you translate it into Japanese, it ends up sounding rather formal.
Believe in LoveHuey Lewis & The News
Huey Lewis’s voice is very husky and gives off a sexy vibe, but thanks to the harmonies from the other members and the song’s upbeat feel, it naturally makes you feel happy as you listen.
You might even find yourself humming along without thinking.
Glory of LovePeter Cetera
This song was featured in the movie The Karate Kid Part II, so the music video includes many scenes from the film.
The line in the lyrics, “I’ll be the hero that you’re dreaming of,” is really cool, isn’t it? Don’t women always wish for men to be strong?
SunshineStevie Wonder
This is another song Stevie Wonder dedicated to his wife.
I feel like songs by Black artists often use very straightforward expressions, which makes them very easy to understand.
“You are the sunshine of my life”—if a woman hears that she’s the sunshine of someone’s life, she’d simply be happy, right?
