Rock Love Top Ten: Secret Love (#1)

Tweet

We’ve reached Valentines Day and the end of my countdown of favorite “love” songs. You’ve been dying to know what my favorite song is with “love” in the title! I know you have! (Ha, I know better, you’re just glad this is over so I can get to the requested countdown about blue eyes! ) Don’t complain, because I know this isn’t “rock” but rather pop (or a “standard”). When I counted down my favorite pop standards in 2018 this was near the top, so it should be no surprise it’s at the top of “love” favorites. #1: Secret Love - Doris Day Many people only knew Doris Day for her animal activism later in life. I grew up with her TV show (with the theme song of “Que Sera Sera”), so I knew she was a singer and an actor as well as an animal lover. Oh, was she a singer. And, while I am way too young to remember when this was originally a hit (hey, my brother wasn’t even born yet when this was a hit!) and first heard this courtesy of the Freddy Fender cover, there is nothing like this rendition. I hope you enjoy this lovely voice and lovely song. And thanks for reading. Happy Valentines Day!
