The February 2019 Mixtape Quiz for Valentine's Day

Did you ever make or receive a mixtape, CD or digital playlist of romantic/love songs for Valentine’s Day? Who would be on your playlist? We’ve taken a look at some of the most popular romantic/love songs since Cleveland D.J Alan Freed coined the term “rock and roll” and we’ve put together a mixtape of love songs used in movies for our Valentine’s Day quiz. How well do you know your music and “how deep is your love” for these songs? We’ve listed the song title for you and included a word bank of artists and movies. For some of the songs, we have included the original artist plus the artist who covered the song for the movie soundtrack. Be sure to check these artists and songs out on YouTube and look for these films.
