He would have to be the smoothest brother around! How do you take a Smokey Robinson song and add more soul? And I see Angie back there, she used to have a nice shape~!
a lot of singers tried to copy this but it remains sul generis! smokey robinsons fey falsetto dissolved into a lush guitar whirlpool on this fine ballad.but d'angelos voice just managed it to keep a show above water.
@RzaRectorrr I´m in Panama for the next eights months or so, and listining to this music, helps me to keep in touch with my Afro American roots, people her don´t understand that.
D'angelo is one of the best singers of our generation with hits like Brown sugar, lady, how does it feel etc he great a lot of babies have been made to his flow check him out ASAP
the back up singers don't 'pick up the notes' quickly enough, dig? but i think he's trying to do more low down style ala marvin or rev. al green, or perhaps another later.
Yo Funkde....I hear you man, d ALWAYS COVERS THE HARMOIC RANGES THAT OTHERS CAN ONLY FUCK UP ON, BUT THE THATS d' ALL OVER THE RANGES....scuse the caps...Pzzzzzz....cant say he would have been happy with that session...Its Jules Holland in the UK....
Can anyone tell me what track they launch into at the end? I know it but I can't figure it out. The stabs at the end have been used on a Snoop track I'm sure of it. Sounds like Curtis Mayfield.... ARGGHH!!!
Angie Stone was skinny.....I didn't know she sang backup for him....I know that they have a son together.....I love me some D'Angelo & some Angie Stone.....
Wow just checked your page, hope you don't mind, just thought anyone that digs D'Angelo gotta have soul, you have a beautiful voice, I'm sure you'll be famous soon with that kind of talent!
i'm a black woman who is in love with this man i wonder does if he stink because alot of our black men are not clean and he is from a very poor part of viginia so i wonder is he clean
damn, smokey and then curtis?? d'angelo a bad muthafucka!
