best fathers day song list

Posted on June 18th, 2009 in Hot Topics, Tips & Tutorial | 1 Comment »

Happy father’s day to all fathers and those who are like fathers.

To honor that special man in your life, here is the best father’s day songs about Fathers and in honor of Dads . I love all kinds of music , so I put together a little list of best father’s day songs.

Here are top recommended songs for father’s day, songs sung by Dads for their sons and daughters, songs about fathers becoming fathers, songs about sons and daughters missing their fathers, and songs about things a son wished they had said to their father before it was too late. I hope you enjoy the best songs about Dads for your father’s day activities and make June Sunday this summer a wonderful father’s Day.

Top father songs :

1.Father and Son - Cat Stevens

The song, whose music is soft with a lilting dynamicism, frames an exchange between a father not understanding a son’s desire to break away and shape a new life, and the son who cannot really explain himself but knows that it is time for him to seek his own destiny. To echo this, Stevens sings in a deeper register for the father’s lines, while using a higher, more emotive one for those of the son.

2.Father and Daughter - Paul Simon

3.Dance With My Father - Luther Vandross

4.Can You Feel the Love Tonight- written by Elton John

5.Papa Can You Hear Me - Barbra Streisand

6.Just The Two Of Us - Will Smith

7.Seein’ My Father In Me - Paul Overstreet

9.Fathers’ Day - Lady Clown
