Torch Song : A sentimental love song. The term comes from the saying " holding a Torch for someone ".
I've always had an affinity for " Torch Songs " .Usually sung by women, sometimes men, they convey a vulnerability that we can all relate to. Here are a few of my favorite " Torch Singers'
We'll start out with the totally awesome Dinah Washington with " Feel Like I Wanna Cry "
Next up is the classy Dorothy Dandridge with " When Your Lover Has Gone "
Next up is Etta Jones ( not to be confused with Etta James ) with " If I Had You "
One can't do a Torch song playlist without including Billie Holiday. Here she is performing " I Cried For You "
