"Yes" & "No" Songs

This "Opposites" collection ended up being heavy with R & B songs for some reason, which is not at all a bad thing. But for those of you who don't like R & B, there are also songs here by George Strait, Radiohead, and Hall & Oates, just to name a few. Enjoy!  ~  JH

2)  Alicia Keys  ~  "No One"




3)  B5  ~  "Say Yes"
