Need song for tribute

[bkraus]

I am looking for a few songs to use in a tribute slideshow for a friend's father who passed away 1 year ago. She does not want any sad songs. She wants me to use fun, uplifting songs. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Why not ask the family, what his favourite songs were, that would really make it something very special...

I just posted a link to a beautiful song I heard on TV tonight by John Denver and Placido Domingo. It pretty much says it all about love.

"I'll Fly Away".... from "O Brother Where Art Thou" is a toe-tapping kind of song I've used before.

Not quite sure what else to suggest. As Mel posted, it's helpful to ask the family questions about the person to give you insight into their personality, likes and dislikes, etc.

I personally like Tracy Chapman, there are a couple that are suiting.
New Beginning
The promise
Im ready
At this point in my life

How about "I did it my way" by Sinatra?

I thought I would mention this because many people have never actually listened to the lyrics of this song.
"My Way" is about a man nearing death. If you listen, he is reflecting upon how he lived his life, that he has few regrets and that he did things his way.

I did a show for a man earlier this year and this was the song he choose.
