Eight tunes for a slow dance party

A former co-worker was going to be the DJ for a party and asked if I'd recommend songs that would work for slow dances.  Eight of the songs I suggested:

• After The Love Has Gone-Earth, Wind & Fire (One of the band's best hits.  Although the lyrics aren't overly optimistic, they're sung perfectly, and the song sets a mood compellingly.  The saxophone's punctuation is perfectly placed, as well.)
• Come Away With Me-Norah Jones (I'd consider this the most obvious choice on the list, but it deserves consideration.  Jones sings it with seemingly effortless class.)
• Good Morning Heartache-Laura Fygi (A cover tune with sobering lyrics that still works for a dance, especially in the breathy manner that Fygi sings it.)
• Samantha-Sammy Nestico (An elegant instrumental that's a saxophonist's showcase.)
• Save Your Love For Me (Live)-Al Jarreau (Possibly the most appropriate choice of all the songs on this list; the opening, a descending scale of four bass notes, sets the mood immediately, and Jarreau's vocals soar.)
• Slow Jam-Midnight Star (Another track that provides instant atmosphere at a dance, instrumentally and vocally.  It could segue with DeBarge's "Time Will Reveal.")
• Suddenly-Cliff Richard & Olivia Newton-John (Lyrically, it works for weddings, as well.)
• Trust-Boney James (This is one of the most appropriate smooth jazz, saxophone-driven instrumentals for such an occasion.  There's a people-spotting-each-other-across-a-crowded-room aspect to its melody that would also work in a jewelry store commercial.)

The former co-worker told me that, of the tunes I'd suggested, "Samantha" and "Suddenly" went over especially well with the guests.  You never know for sure which of your recommended songs will click with an audience, so that was gratifying to hear.
