Torch songs reader challenge

In migrating my CD collection to iTunes, I've realized that I've got a thing for torch songs.

So here it is — a torch songs reader challenge!

Click "comments" below to help me build my torch songs to my playlist. I want to know what steamy songs you carry a flame for. I prefer oldies-but-goodies, but I'll consider new songs, too.

Extra points for good torch songs sung by men and anything by Sarah Vaughan.

Here's my playlist so far:

"Cry Me A River" — Julie London
"Fever" — Peggy Lee
"A Sunday Kind of Love" — Etta James
"My Love Is A Fever" — Over The Rhine
"Blue Prelude" — Peggy Lee
"I Found A Reason" — Cat Power (see previous post)

Cat Power is Chan Marshall, a kickass woman with dreamy vocals and smart lyrics. She's coming to Tucson later this month. You better believe I'll be there, with my torch a burnin'.

Rock on, Abba, for consistently good torch song taste.

What do you mean by "torch songs"? (Sorry, it's been a wicked long week and my brain is fried, lol)

The wikipedia definition is pretty good.
