I need a song to play while the slide show is showing pictures of my groom growing up
I am thinking of doing this someday when I get married and I am looking for a good song to play while the slide show is showing my groom as he is growing up. Does anyone have any ideas?

What about doing them along with the theme like in the good ole summertime for summer pics, If he is 80 then what about big band music for teen pics you know bennie goodman, cab calaway etc., and wedding pics like a romantic old song ie my funny valentine. Best of luck to you.

I like "Children" by Robert Miles - no words, only music. I think it's the best daydreaming song and would be great to put memories to.

I second the vote for "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong.

"You Make Me Feel so Young" and also think about a place name song. If he grew up or was born in Chicago then use "Chicago" "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" etc.

"Memories" is a great song, but it's also a very sad one, about how the singer (Grizabella, the Glamour Cat) used to be young, beautiful, held, petted, fussed over, and loved, and now is abandoned and alone. To my mind, that's really not the best choice to play for someone you still care about.

Don't Blink by Kenny Chesney
The Times of Your Life by Paul Anka
Remember When by Alan Jackson
These Are the Days by 10,000 Maniacs

I made a video last year for a 50th. I started with Rascal Flatts "My Wish",then after mariage and children played Rod Stewart "Forever Young". It's an awesome video. Have fun!

"Young at Heart" would be a good one.

If it were me, I'd change the songs according to what was the most popular song during the year the particular photo was taken. Start back during the depression when he was born then change songs each decade or every 5 years, whatever works for you. I'm sure there are many web sites that list the popular songs of the decade or of the year. For example Billboards top 100 songs(or something like that)?
A second idea, ask your kids (or some other young folks) to ask him what his top 10 favorite songs are. We all know how old songs bring back good times & make us remember! (Just like smells do)
---> Anyone out there know of a good web site for top songs of a certain year?
Editor's Note: Susan shared this website with me. You can even have the #1 song of the day!

Right off the top of my head, the song, "Memories", comes to mind. This may be appropriate for your tribute slide show. You might also ask your dad what are some of his favorite songs. Good luck with your project.
