Released in the fall of 1984, the song would make it all the way to #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart. This song was actually written by David Foster and originally the great Kenny Rogers was supposed to sing it, but when Peter Cetera and Chicago got a hold of it in 1984, they turned it into a mega hit, and it might be just perfect for a couple to do their first dance to as well.

If you are a fan of the 80s and songs that are a little on the softer side, you'll love this post. Back in the 70s and throughout the 80s, there were numerous romantic songs written that are just perfect for dinner at your Charleston wedding at Lowndes Grove, Kiawah, or the Carriage House at Magnolia Plantation. Soft rock is a genre that maybe your parents listened to (chuckle), and maybe that's why these songs are often overlooked when selecting wedding music. Some couples go for a light country, or perhaps the tried and true jazz standards like Frank Sinatra or even Motown. Brides and grooms tend to go in numerous different directions when it comes to selecting music for this portion of the evening. Your Charleston Wedding DJ should adjust the volume of the music accordingly. The dinner music portion of your afternoon or evening should include non-abrasive music that allows for good conversation and socializing among you and your wedding guests.
