Valentine’s Day: Time for Schmalz!

A big portion of the Glee Club repertoire is schmaltzy songs. Here’s some obvious selections that come to mind to share with your valentine. Chime in with more if you have suggestions! If this were a contest, All The Things You Are would win in a landslide, performed by PVGC going back to the 1970’s for sure. The song was written in 1944 so it’s possible Al Stewart included it, but I haven’t found a recording from the 60s yet.
