50th birthday montage song ideas?

Question

Next year I am having a surprise 50th birthday party for my mom. We rented a hall, have a dj and we have about 115 people invited. I am making a montage for her, using pictures from her first year up to her 50th. I just need song ideas. It's going to be a nice party, not one that pokes fun at her age, I have one song picked out - "This is your song" by elton john, but I need about 3 - 4 more, It will probably be fairly long, including videos and such and we will play it during dinner. I can honestly say one thing about my mom, is that she has made a difference in the lives of everyone she has ever met, she is one of the most giving people in the world, and overcame breast cancer last year, and then 3 months later my dad was diagnosed with throat cancer, and she stuck by him and stayed strong. both of them are cancer free now, so i want songs that will celebrate her and show her how important she is to all of us.

Thanks guys!

In 1973, she was 15.  That's not the Disco era.  That's more rock n'roll - but you know what your mom listens to on the radio.  I like "We are Champions" by Queen for your event.

Answer 2

Since she was in her late teens and 20's during the Disco era, I'd use some disco songs:)  Most people tend to love the music they listened to as teenagers:) ......Check out some albums by Donna Summer or Laura Branigan, to see if you like any of those songs:)
