For our Valentine’s Day Special BBN reached out to members and asked them for their most treasured songs of love and romance. Whether you’re in love, want to be in love, have lost love, are in new love, enjoying a time tested love, flirting with love, rejoicing in love or just love love, on this BBN Valentine’s Day playlist is a song or two especially for you.
From a cross-generational list of music taste we selected timeless treasures, a few contemporary pieces and a lot in between from Latin and R&B artists.
With all of the gloom and doom of the day and time we’re living in we hope this Valentine’s Day special gives you a moment – however brief it may be - of fond memories, stillness and joy. Send this playlist to your friends, parents, children, aunts, uncles and grandparents.
We extend our appreciation to members Nilda Rosario, J. Kevin Swain, Sylvia, Edwin, Evelyn, Sammi, Gina, Ivan, Mireya and the YouTube folks who posted the videos. Let us know in the comment section below what you think and what song(s) you would have included in this list.
