100 Best Songs with a Girl's Name in the Title - Part 1 of 5

The other day I was looking at an album that had several songs with a girl's name in the title. Then I started thinking of some others "Girl's Name Songs" and decided to compile a list of my favorites - there are hundreds of them! Shrinking the list is proving to be quite a challenge, so I'm going to limit it to 100. This is Part 1 in a 5 Part series.
