Let’s Get It On

Courtney Ramsey’s Valentine’s Day Playlist

There’s no denying that love is in the air.

(Blame it on the scented V-Day cards and bouquets at every checkout.)

Whether the holiday makes you swoon or sick, we’re sure you’ll heart local jazz singer/songwriter Courtney Ramsey’s songs of choice.

“We Make a Lot of Love,” by Harry Connick, Jr.
(When lingerie and liquid courage isn’t enough.)

“Wish I Could,” by Norah Jones
(In a love triangle? You’re not alone.)

“Stitched Up,” by Herbie Hancock featuring John Mayer
(The jazzy beat rocks — even if the noncommittal theme doesn’t.)

“When I’m Sixty-Four,” by The Beatles
(For hopeless romantics.)

“Parting Gift,” by Fiona Apple
(Love bites.)

“The Luckiest,” by Ben Folds
(Can’t articulate your lurve? Let these guys spell it out.)

“Trouble Sleeping,” by Corinne Bailey Rae
(When you need to wake up and smell the roses.)

“How About You?” by Frank Sinatra
(Leave it to Ol’ Blue Eyes to make hearts sing.)

“At Last,” by Etta James
(Yes, it’s cliche. But there’s a reason it’s a wedding-singer staple.)
