I didn't know he had cancer
What a singer.

Saw this on another thread and it still hasn’t sunk in.

More than a singer. Very creative, talented and spent an obsessive amount of time deep diving the recording and songwriting techniques of those before him.

RIP

A very talented man. The Voodoo album is truly a classic. 51 is way too young. I remember back in the day when I was working as a web designer/developer the Voodoo album was the soundtrack to many of my work days.

He was also a major Sly & The Family Stone fan like myself, he was majorly influenced by that and even appeared in the recent Sly Stone documentary.

D'Angelo created new grooves & beats & ways to be funky!
He attracted the best of the best like Pino Palladino on bass, ?uestLove and Chris Dave on drums...
I miss him greatly!

He wrote and produced this anthem as a teenager...all the biggest R&B names of the 90s...sad how many of them in this song are now gone

R.I.P., during college, my next door neighbor in the apartment complex I lived in played Brown Sugar sometimes all day long on repeat.

Endless practice runs for human reproduction.

Had a similar experience/reason for playing that, but it was the whole CD, not just one track on repeat.

very true, when I would see him and his girlfriend later in the day or the next day, they were definitely exhausted and spent looking

For some reason that reminds me of that post of Kriminal's when Ben changed his status thingamy.

D’Angelo RIP
