RIP, D'Angelo

When I was a HS music teacher, I used to have a day where the students brought in their fave music, to study the way melody, harmony and rhythm were either used or not used in the garbage they listened to.
One really talented Black kid who had perfect pitch. brought in some great D'Angelo tracks every week .
It was the only good music the students brought in.
Very sad that he passed at 51, RIP.

Not his most famous video but this got me to get that first CD. Love this kind of production for R&B. He always had other contemporary artists and musicians giving him props. Hate this happened. Way too young. RIP
