21: A favorite song with a person's name in the title

Daniel by Elton John

The wistful, haunted tone of this song captured my heart from the first time I heard it.

I love this song too. But my favorite song with a person's name is the Rolling Stones' "Angie." https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CGFZ96Y/

I like "Angie," but it doesn't have that combination of familiarity and emotional charge that I get from "Daniel." I was also thinking about Fleetwood Mac's "Sara" when I was trying to decide what to post.

I love it too. There are a lot of great songs that qualify, like Angie, Alison (Elvis Costello), Eleanor Rigby, Michelle, Roxanne and Ruby Tuesday.

Well, they qualify by having a person's name, but not by being "a favorite" of mine! :-D

I do like "Alison" a lot.
