Read More#Random R&B Songs with a Number in Them
Put this under #RandomNerissa! I noticed lately that a few of the songs in my rotation all have numbers of some sort in the title. So that got me thinking about how often numbers are used in songs and in R&B in particular. A quick Google search showed my question is clearly not original but […]
