Riddle was definitely one of the greats.

Thanks for posting this. It has made my day a bit brighter. And Steyn reminds us that music reminds us in these trying times what it means to be human. And that is pure gold in a time of dross.

Another song about Love; not nearly as well known or culturally significant,
would be “The Meaning Of The Verb ‘To Love’” by Todd Rundgren. From around 1976. I love a great deal of Todd’s early music.
He does not have the best singing voice, but does have perfect pitch and an incredible ear for melody.

I try to compartmentalize the music from the man. Rundgren has become extremely Liberal and proudly intolerant in his dotage. Almost as bad as Barry Manilow, who stood up and left at Talk Show couch when the guest following him was someone seen as conservative.

This never fails to paint a mental picture of a white stripe down the middle of an endless stretch of asphalt:

Thanks Tommy!

I've never heard Elsie Carlisle's version before, but I love it. I like the fact that she sings in her native English accent and doesn't try to sound American.

The song was a hit in the USA a year later.

What Is This Thing Called Love?--Ben Bernie & His Orchestra (1930)

Another great tune featuring Elsie Carlisle that seems relevant to today.

The Clouds Will Soon Roll By--Bert Ambrose & His Orchestra (1932)

What’s this thing called, love? Punctuation matters.
