Jane Wyman
Jane Wyman (born Sarah Jane Mayfield; January 5, 1917 – September 10, 2007) was an American singer, dancer, and film/television actress. She began her film career in 1932 and her work in television lasted into 1993. She was a prolific performer for two decades. She received an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Johnny Belinda (1948), and was a three time winner of The Golden Globe, she achieved a new level of success as Angela Channing in the 1980s prime time soap opera Falcon Crest.
She was the first wife of Ronald Reagan; they married in 1940 and divorced in 1949.
Youth
Wyman was born Sarah Jane Mayfield in St. Joseph, Missouri. Although her birthdate has been widely reported for many years as January 4, 1914, research by biographers and genealogists indicates she was born on January 5, 1917. The most likely reason for the 1914 year of birth is that she added to her age so as to be able to work and act while still a minor. She may have moved her birthday back by one day to January 4 so as to share the same birthday as her daughter, Maureen (born January 4, 1941). The 1920 census, on the other hand, has her at 3 and living in Philadelphia, Pa. After Wyman's death, a release posted on her official website confirmed these details.
Love song
A love song is a song about being in love, falling in love, heartbreak upon the ending of a loving relationship, and the feelings that these experiences bring. A comprehensive list of even the best known performers and composers of love songs would be a large order.
Love songs can be found in many musical genres.
History
Love songs have been around for centuries and can be found in the histories and cultures of most societies, though their ubiquity is a modern phenomenon.
A highly controversial and startling explanation of the genesis of love songs can be found in Denis de Rougemont's "Love in the Western World". De Rougemont's thesis is that love songs grew out of the courtly love songs of the troubadours, and that those songs represented a rejection of the historical Christian notion of love.
Identities of love songs change from time to time, from the decade of love in the '70s, through night partying in the '80s, and into dark romance of the '90s. Love songs did not have an identity in the 2000s.
Lovesongs (Luther Vandross album)
Love Songs is a 2009 compilation album by American R&B/soul singer, songwriter, and record producer Luther Vandross.

Ten Love Songs
Ten Love Songs is the sixth studio album by Norwegian singer-songwriter Susanne Sundfør. It was released on 16 February 2015. A European tour ensued on March 3, 2015. "Fade Away" was the first single released from the album. "Delirious" was released as the second single. For the album Sundfør collaborated with Anthony Gonzalez of M83, Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland of Röyksopp, Lars Horntveth and the Trondheimsolistene Chamber Ensemble. Sundfør described the album as an attempt to make a pop record. 'Ten Love Songs' and its lead single 'Fade Away' became a commercial success in Sundfør's home country both receiving a gold certification.
Themes
Sundfør said in an interview, "When I first started to work on the album, I wanted to make an album about violence, and then, as I was writing the songs, there were violent aspects, but they were usually about love or relationships, how you connect with other people. And in the end, that turned out to be 10 love songs."

Love Songs
by: Bee GeesIt's over and done
but the heartache lives on inside
and who is the one you're clinging to instead of me
tonight?
And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow ,wherever you go
and cry me a river
that leads to your ocean
You'll never see me fall apart
In the words of a broken heart
it's just emotion
that's taking me over
tied up in sorrow
lost in my soul
and if you don't come back
come home to me darling
you know that there'll be nobody left in this world to hold me tight,
nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight,
Goodnight, goodnight
I'm there at your side,
I'm part of all the things you are
and you've got a part of someone else
you've gone to find your shining star
And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow ,wherever you go
and cry me a river
that leads to your ocean
You'll never see me fall apart
In the words of a broken heart
it's just emotion
that's taking me over
tied up in sorrow
lost in my soul
and if you don't come back
come home to me darling
know that there'll be nobody left in this world to hold me tight,
nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight,
Goodnight, goodnight
And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow , wherever you go
and cry me a river
that leads to your ocean
You'll never see me fall apart
In the words of a broken heart
it's just emotion
that's taking me over
tied up in sorrow
lost in my soul
and if you don't come back
come home to me darling
know that there'll be nobody left in this world to hold me tight,
nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight,
Goodnight, goodnight
