What Great Managers Do
From modern music magicians like Frank Ocean to classic groups including the Bee Gees and Earth, Wind, and Fire, there are many songs every music aficionado should listen to in their lifetime. But let's focus on the romantic side of musical storytelling.
We're here to rank the best love songs ever penned in history. Since we're including love songs about devotion and pining but trying to avoid wholesale break-up ballads , "We Belong Together" is the perfect place to start.
Mariah Carey's hit single from "The Emancipation of Mimi" remains is a classic modern love song with a fantastic pop diva music video to match. Listen to "We Belong Together" here. Listen to "Hands Down" here. This ballad is a simple, sweet ode to lazy afternoons spent in the company of a loved one. Listen to "Hold You in My Arms" here. Listen to "Love On Top" here. You probably don't think much about "Vision Quest," the movie for which this song was made, but "Crazy for You" is one of Madonna's best love songs.
It also earned Madonna her first of many Grammy Award nominations. Listen to "Crazy For You" here. When you think Bee Gees, you probably think dance and disco. But along with "Emotions" a fantastic break-up song , "How Deep is Your Love" is evidence of the Bee Gees' ability to cut to the heart of a soulful connection between two people. Listen to "How Deep is Your Love" here. Taylor Swift cemented her role in pop culture with her heartfelt guitar ballads, and "Love Story" bridges the gap between her country roots and modern pop music.
The song epitomizes the blissfully ignorant days of idyllic young love. Listen to "Love Story" here. This simple love ballad was sung gorgeously by country star Allison Krauss. Simple, slightly sad, emotionally resonant. Listen to "First Day of My Life" here. It would be a list of love songs without a serious dose of '80s melodrama, and "Total Eclipse of the Heart" is everything we could want in a glam rock ballad that fits into our "pining but still a love song" category.
Listen to "Total Eclipse of the Heart" here. Keeping in our uptempo, groovy streak, "Best of My Love" is a classic found on movie and TV soundtracks across the decades for good reason. You'll be humming " Oh-o-oho, you've got the best of my love" all day after revisiting this track. Listen to "Best of My Love" here. Sliding into the category of "love advice," this Otis Redding track needs no introduction.
It was already considered a classic, and was solidified in pop culture history when Donkey belted it out in "Shrek" and then sampled for Kanye West and Jay-Z's "Otis.
Listen to "Try A Little Tenderness" here. Queen's discography is chock-full of classic hits, but none fits best on the "love song" category than this tune. Listen to "If You're Not the One" here. Elvis Presley's original will always remain the most beloved among many cover versions, from UB40 to Ingrid Michaelson and more. Listen to "Can't Help Falling in Love" here. Foreigner's biggest hit is also one of the greatest love songs of all time thanks to its eager rock ballad groove.
You might now associate Tina Turner's "The Best" with Pepsi or Applebee's thanks to its commercial appeal, but this song is the ultimate statement of devotion and deserves to be remembered as such. Listen to "The Best" here. Listen to "All My Life" here. Listen to "Take My Breath Away" here. The simple pleasures of finding love are perfectly expressed in this Beatles song. To be able to just reach out and hold the hand of a person you love is really all one needs, right?
Prince's greatest hits are peppered with a joyous and infectious sense of love, but perhaps none more than the devoted single "I Would Die 4 U. Listen to "I Would Die 4 U" here. Like others on our list, The Smiths are music legends. Yet another '80s classic to grace our list, "Time After Time" is the sweetly nostalgia-driven pop song that's a karaoke classic even for "The Office's" Kelly Kapoor.
Listen to "Time After Time" here. Let's face it — a dozen Stevie Wonder songs could be on this list. But the joyous tempo and simple romantic message of "For Once in My Life" helps put it over the edge of other Stevie classics.
This follow-up hit to "End of the Road" is the perfect ode to doting upon a loved one. Blending the romantic and physical aspects of love, this sexy "Boyz II Men" '90s jam belongs on every love playlist. No, Sinead and Prince , nothing compares to this song. Both versions are commendable and stunning in their own right, but Sinead O'Connor's holds a special place in the legacy of heartache-fueled artistry.
No one can belt out a great "baby! People of all ages can likely sing along to most of this romantic ballad thanks to its use in movies and TV across the decades. Listen to "Kiss From A Rose" here. No other song can sweep you up faster into daydreams about frenzied and absorbing love the way "Just Like Heaven" does. The Cure is '80s alt-rock at its finest, and this song is one of their best. Listen to "Just Like Heaven" here. When the beat kicks into "I Love You Always Forever," you realize what a true bop this '90s pop single truly is.
Lewis seems to channel Cindy Lauper's magic, just a decade later and with slightly more pizzazz. The art of parenthetical song titles has truly been lost. Listen to "My Love" here. Listen to "Come What May" here. This love song rightfully won Flack a Grammy in , and a place in our top 20 list. This synth-based electro-pop single captures a special period of time in pop culture, and remains blissfully timeless despite the changing landscape of modern music over the last 15 years.
Listen to "Such Great Heights" here. Listen to "Crazy In Love" here. Beloved by all generations, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" is easily the most recognizable and timeless love song to ever grace the music world. Falling back into the "pining" category, The Righteous Brothers' version of "Unchained Melody" became the most definitive and recognizable takes on this beautifully written ode to loving someone from afar.
Listen to "Unchained Melody" here. Sir Elton John's sweet tune was inducted to the Grammys Hall of Fame, and easily earns its place in our list of the best love songs. The pure poetry of the piano ballad will bring out the romantic in anyone. Listen to "Your Song" here.
Most dance pop songs churned out by producers these days won't stand the test of time, but there's a magic in "We Found Love" that keeps people returning even a decade later. The gleeful build up and Rihanna's vocals will put a lush and loving glow on any dance floor. Listen to "We Found Love" here. Cracking our top 10 is Peter Gabriel's '80s rock song that was cemented in movie culture with the movie "Say Anything" the same film that gave our earlier pick's band name.
Listen to "In Your Eyes" here. Rock band Explosions in the Sky may not have any lyrics to accompany its earlys single "Your Hand in Mine," but the emotional weight carried by the title and into the building crescendos gives us chills every time. Listen to "Your Hand in Mine" here. Listen to "The Power of Love" here. Visionary Brian Wilson crafted some of his best work on the album "Pet Sounds," and this heart-melting track is one of the record's highlights. Listen to "God Only Knows" here.
Though picking one version of "Make You Feel My Love" is nearly impossible, Adele's rendition on "19" is devastatingly beautiful and once again falls into our "pining" category. Adele is serving up an emotional education to us all, and we're here for the lesson. Frank Ocean is one of the most enigmatic creators working in music today.
And while "Forrest Gump" and other singles delivery equally gorgeous tones of heartache and love, "Thinkin Bout You" sits on your brain with an uncanny warmth — even by Frank Ocean standards. Listen to "Thinkin Bout You" here. Few other songs can captivate a room with just the first several notes, but "At Last" does just that.
This Etta James beauty has remained an unmovable classic love song for the ages, and we hope the spell lasts forever. Listen to "At Last" here. Bringing us back to the uptempo rock genre of love songs, "You Make Loving Fun" is an easy, chicken-soup-for-the-soul kind of classic. Sweet wonderful you, indeed. Listen to "You Make Loving Fun" here. Funk group Earth, Wind, and Fire crafted one of the best songs of the century in "September," and the bonus for us is that it's a delightful love song to boot.
Half the song is simple, joyful belting of " Ba de ya," and we wouldn't have it any other way. Listen to "September" here. Her unrivaled vocal ability and intense emotional performance makes Houston's "I Will Always Love You" which was originally a Dolly Parton hit the greatest love song of all time.

Great leaders tap into the needs and fears we all share. Much has been written about the qualities that make a great manager, but most of the literature overlooks a fundamental question: What does a great manager actually do? While there are countless management styles, one thing underpins the behavior of all great managers. Above all, an exceptional manager comes to know and value the particular quirks and abilities of her employees. Such a specialized approach may seem like a lot of work. This focus on individuals also makes employees more accountable.
