This song dates back to 1945 and sounds brilliant on the ukulele.

“ Cheek to Cheek” – A Fred Astaire classic first recorded in 1935, this song was also featured on a very popular American crime drama at the time as well called Monk.It has the classic om-pa-pa rhythm that a lot of early ukulele songs featured heavily in their recordings. “ A Kiss To Remember” – The brilliant thing about the original recording of this song from Rudy Vallee is that it already featured a ukulele playing softly in the background.While it may not stand out as being particularly romantic, it definitely at least deserves a listen to see if this fits your idea of romance. It’s typical of turn-of-the-century songs in terms of progression and chords. “ That’s The Kind of Baby For Me” – In the middle of WWI and hoping to uplift people’s spirits, Eddie Cantor recorded this song to add a bit of fun and frolic to an otherwise dismal time.Ukulele players can pick up this classic from the Haydn Quartet in one of its many versions available online. “ Sweet Adeline” – Barbershop quarters were all the rage, and most of their recordings included love songs.Although the original recording may seem a bit boring today, the earlier recordings are much easier to play. It still crops up in romantic movies occasionally and works perfectly on the ukulele. “ Shine on Harvest Moon” – Recorded all the back in 1908, this song was originally by Billy Murray and Ada Jones.
