Top 5 Best Crooners Songs To Listen To With Your Mature Partner

Many senior singles who are searching for love feel their options are much more limited. But if you've ever felt out of place in brash nightclubs, the key to dating success lies at your fingertips!

 These days, more and more older people are relying on digital matchmaking services for cougar dating. You'll meet other singles on your wavelength. The secure communication channel is perfect for reaching out to fellow seniors. And you can tap into interesting conversations in the chat rooms. A typical conversation might be about great crooner songs to listen to with a partner, especially on a first date. In case this topic ever comes up, here are five of our most recommended.

Mad About the Boy by Dinah Washington

This particular song seems as if it might have been written for cougars, where sensual older women dream of having adoring younger boyfriends hooked to their arms! Originally composed by the English playwright and songwriter Noel Coward as far back as 1932, it was way ahead of its time (the original lyric referred to the flamboyant Coward’s gay orientation). Updated for a modern audience by jazz vocalist Washington, this is the perfect slice of uplifting, tongue-in-cheek crooning for a senior date.

At Last by Etta James

Starting her career as a gospel singer back in the 1940s, James’s soulful voice quickly allowed her to expand into a dizzying array of genres, including blues, soul, and rousing rock n’ roll. Winning six Grammys and no fewer than 17 Blues Music Awards, her gutsy performances won her legions of fans, while her entry into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame states, "one of the greatest voices of her century." This slow-burning ballad, taken from her debut album, owes a lot to that upbringing, filling church halls with the effortless contralto of her gospel singing. Perfect crooning for your mature get-together!

Unforgettable by Nat King Cole

Recording over 100 songs in his distinguished career, singer and jazz pianist Cole went down in history as the first African-American performer to host a TV series. Dropping out of high school to pursue his musical career, he went on to churn out hit after hit from the 1940s onwards, while the iconic Capitol Records building in Hollywood is affectionately known as 'the house that Nat built.' This is a beautiful song for a date night playlist, and an especially memorable version was the duet he recorded with his daughter Natalie as recently as 1991, 40 years on from its original success.

Everybody Loves Somebody by Dean Martin

One of the most popular US entertainers, singers and actors of the 20th-century, Martin was nicknamed the 'King of Cool.' A key member of the so-called Rat Pack, alongside fellow crooners Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Junior, the iconic image is of a slightly inebriated Martin, slow-burning cigarette in hand, singing this delightful love song in an easy-going manner. Cliched? Perhaps. But guaranteed to melt hearts all over the world!

Strangers in the Night by Matt Munro

Munro was born in London in 1930, but gained worldwide fame, becoming known as 'the man with the golden voice.' His instantly recognisable tones were used in various movie themes, from 'From Russia With Love,' the James Bond film, to 'Born Free.' This song is about the perennial subject of ships that pass in the night, random lovers who share special moments before passing on. Where your mature rendezvous is concerned, it would set the tone perfectly. And rather than strangers who are just passing through, it would far more likely inspire a lengthy and committed partnership!
