Is there a list somewhere of the ballads played in this style ?

I know a few of the usual suspects but would like to check out more - some of them are a bit more do-able ..... and non gj listeners (read wives and family) seem to like them more than the up tempo stuff.

    I'm fond of "Vamp" (1951). Honorable mention also for I'll never smile again (1947)

    I believe Michael Horowitz has a plan on producing a book just focusing on ballads...

    Bei dir war es immer so schön

    (I hope I got it right. I should have learnt German, and a few other languages, when I was young...)

    The one I rarely hear about is Django's version of "please be kind" and I think its one of the most beautiful songs he played.

    Here is my Spotify ballads playlist, screenshots with song names attached:
