A Valentine's Playlist

I recently received a Valentine's Day Playlist from an e-magazine I subscribe to and in the spirit of the holiday (and Black History Month )  and because I am a fan of  love I decided to do my own playlist.   I wanted to limit it to 50 songs ( that was super hard!) and I wanted to include a few newer artists even though I am definitely old school. 

If you've never heard of any of these or you don't like any of them then we can't be friends!

 

So here we go, in no particular order:

Still with me?  I'm not saying these are the greatest in the world or that there are some not on the list that should be, but I had to limit myself to 50.  Hopefully you like some of them and they bring back some fond memories for you.   If so, then as a Valentine buddy of mine:

 Feel free to add some of your own  favorites in the comments.  Oh and two last things before I leave:
