[@clarissawestbrook2203]

Babyface is an R&B and music legend! This is one of his best songs in my opinion and For the Cool in you is one of his top three best albums in my opinion. Its sexy, smooth and sensual. He is handsome, a great singer, songwriter and guitarist. Not just for himself but countless other artists and musical groups too. He definitely deserves his flowers.
