Classic Western songs to listen to at night

A Nightingale Sang In Berkley SquareManhattan Transfer

Manhattan Transfer – A Nightingale Sang In Berkley Square

The Manhattan Transfer’s “A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square,” by the American vocal group, was released in 1990.

This work is a masterpiece of a cappella.

Although they produced many pop-leaning tracks in the ’80s, songs like this remind you that their true forte is making music with nothing but their voices.

Each individual voice is like a precisely tuned instrument.

In a word: magnificent.

Kiss Of LifeSade

Sade – Kiss Of Life – Official – 1993

A classic by Sade that draws you into an adult, sophisticated world with its moody, gentle sound and whisper-soft fairy-like vocals.

It’s a euphoric track that fits the nighttime atmosphere perfectly and promises a soothing, healing effect.

Joy Inside My TearsStevie Wonder

Joy Inside My Tears

It’s a classic ballad for adults that’s guaranteed to move you from the very first notes.

Whether you’re drinking alone or spending time with a loved one, having this song playing in the background would make the moment special.

It’s included on the album Songs in the Key of Life.

Come To MeBobby Caldwell

Bobby Caldwell – Come To Me

Bobby Caldwell is a singer-songwriter from the United States.

He is one of the leading AOR singers, widely known and loved in Japan.

“Come to Me” is a track from his 1978 album Bobby Caldwell.

All of his works evoke the atmosphere of a city night, but I think this piece in particular strongly conveys that mood.

Greatest Love Of AllWhitney Houston

Whitney Houston – Greatest Love Of All (Official 4K Video)

Included on the 1985 album “Whitney Houston.” Born in 1963, a singer and actress from New Jersey.

Carried by a slow tempo with a gently flowing rhythm and a mellow, heartfelt melody line, her soulful vocals still pierce straight to the heart even now.

She was truly extraordinary.
