Wagner's classic opera, "Lohengrin" was first performed in 1850. Despite the tragic end to the marriage of Lohengrin and Elsa, this piece is very popular at weddings in the US.

Answer: Can You Feel the Love Tonight

Not only did this classic rate well on charts in both the US and Europe, it earned the Oscar for Best Original Song and a third Grammy for Elton John.

"Up Where We Belong" was recorded by the duet of Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes and also received an Oscar when it was featured in the 1982 film "An Officer and a Gentleman". The Carpenters earned their second gold single in 1970 with their version of "We've Only Just Begun", and "That's Amore" became a signature song for 1950s recording icon Dean Martin.

Answer: What a Wonderful World

This standard became an instant hit in the UK, reaching number one on the charts and eventually becoming the highest selling single in 1968. Very few copies were sold in the US, however, and the song's success here didn't come until its re-release two decades later.
