Still looking for that perfect first dance song? Turn to the 80s. You don’t have to love synthesizers and aggressive guitar solos to be a fan of the music. In fact, plenty of power ballads and swoon-worthy tunes were released during the decade. Dig up your Cyndi Lauper CDs and take your Luther Vandross records out of storage - these icons put out some seriously awesome slow jams before the 90s hit.
