I swear the smooth, sensual, sexy, melodic yet rhythmic soulful sound of D'Angelo the artist is untouchable. There are very few artists who can go back and take a cut make by a master and do their way and be just as awesome. Luther was one. He always made the song his. And D'Angelo is another. And I'm telling you, it takes balls to record a song by Smokey, The Ohio Players and Roy Ayers etc. He's abad dude.
Hip Hop Soooooooooooooooooooo WATERED DOWN THESE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can i get an AMEN! Radio djays(and i decapatalize purposely because i blame them for letting the WORSE KIND OF MUSIC air and affect human beings than any art form that exists) need to apologize and change their influential selection of musical direction. If I (eye) rule the world i would follow the the script of legends like NAS , M.L.K.and Curtis Mayfield.and other CHARACTER Idols...To INSPIRE..:-)
LOL@ chicks screaming for him to Strip at his shows...All the ngga had to do was take off his shirt and that would've sent them into convulsions...I remember when D was on every female Desktop at school and work..They say women aren't VISUAL...Buuuuull sheeeet
@chewyflea Pino Palladino on bass...and the sharp tuning of the D string on the bass is very much intentional. These guys pay very close attention to detail. Since this is a cover song, the bass tuning stems from the original song...listen to the Ohio Players version and you'll completely understand.
Yall need to stop with the stupid ass "get in shape" comments. The man was a MUSICIAN 1ST before he was a sex symbol, and the Untitled video wasn't even his idea. And it backfired bc airhead broads always wanted him to strip at shows instead of focusing on his music. Brothas can be objectified too. We loved Luther whether he was big or thin for his MUSIC, so why can't we do the same with D? Annoys the shyt outta me. He's SEXY, no doubt, but in the words of Eric Roberson, i'm a Music Fan First!!
Nice cover of a Classic Ohio Players groove...but not as good as the Original! Sugarfoot Bonner's vocals are just too distinctive & Soulful-they set the standard.
Naw man, Ohio got this. He missed the echoing part "somewhere to rest my aching mind" that part is the BEST part of the song. Had he put it in there, he would have given Ohio Players a run for their money.
youshould also give credit to the ohio players, the originators of this song. but i willl admit that d angelo is the reason i even found out about the original
I had a mini heart attack when I found out he is back! He looks good too..just look up D'Angelo 2012! I can't wait til he tours the US!
