It’s the closing hours of Valentine’s Day and what better way to complete the day than with two hours of classic love songs — both traditional and contemporary — with which you can snuggle up with that significant other. The emphasis again this year falls on the positive side of the love-o-meter, so just a hint of lost, unrequited and false love. There’s even a nod to The Beatles to mark the 50th anniversary of their arrival in America.
