Claire de Lune. Hands down.
I love Nina Simone. Her album "Blues" defenitely is a mood starter-- especially her song "I Want a Little Sugar in My Bowl."
I have to say that few songs are as sexy as the Stooges "I Wanna Be Your Dog." And what's romance without a little dirty dirty?
What else? The soul stylings of Marvin Gaye.
Strictly Barry White, baby.
