This may well be a thread for the oldies. Then again it may just sink without trace.

So anyone else in NSC land enjoy the occasional easy listening music?

This.

Her voice is just so smooth and perfect - I keep Carpenters tracks in my mp3 collection specifically for when I need some relaxing, de-stressing music to listen to.

All great songs, but I would question the label of 'easy listening' for any of them.

Blues, soul and jazz would be better descriptions.

The ever puzzling question of pigeon-holing I guess.

Let's take your more relaxed definition as it allows great songs by great songwriters:

Hoagy Carmichael:

Bacarach & David:

Hoagy again:

And this corker that Don Black wrote with Ron Sexsmith:

I would take issue with the word 'favourite' .......................... Can we not just leave this music where it belongs?
