Guess I didn't see this one first time around.
Being me, I have to look back to the fifties and sixties:
Sleep Walk -- Santo & Johnny and a wailing Fender Stratocaster.
Ebb Tide -- Righteous Brothers -- close tie with You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'
Endless Summer Nights -- Richard Marks -- Memories of making out late at night on the river bank.
God Only Knows -- The Beachboys -- John Lennon allegedly called this the greatest love song ever written.
When I Fall In Love -- The Lettermen -- Early sixties back seat music.
Runners up: (I'm older, so I've heard a lot more music)
Stranger on the Shore -- Mr. Aker Bilk -- Great Sax instrumental
Town Without Pity -- Gene Pitney -- Prototypical teen romance song
My True Story -- The Jive Five -- What a great slow dance song.
Only You -- The Platters -- And just about anything else they did.
Take Five -- The Dave Brubeck Quartet -- Great Jazz instrumental
Not seduction, but great love songs by Gary Puckett, The Association and Simon And Garfunkle.
Now, the older generation has been heard from.

Since this has resurfaced, I will add a couple.
Heard Jerry Butler do "For Your Precious Love" on TV over the weekend -- that's a great one.
This Girl is a Woman Now, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap ("Our hearts told us we were right, and on that sweet and velvet night, a girl had died, a woman had been born...")
Come Softly by The Fleetwoods
Also need to add Unchained Melody and You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin' by the Righteous Brothers.
