This is the D'Angelo performance that I've never forgotten. This song was already a huge hit but the way he took it from contemporary R&B to church revival illustrated how connected those idioms are. A revelation for those who didn't know, and an affirmation for those who did.

D'Angelo speaking out about the physical and emotional burden of maintaining a nearly unobtainable physique and sexy image as a Black male artist should be taught in labor studies. It absolutely impacted how I analyze pop culture.

Damn. If you're more familiar with his (great) early stuff than his third album, Black Messiah, go check it out now.

It was such a thrill to see him live at the Roots Picnic in 2016 — I was sick, and it had been raining off and on all day in Bryant Park (and he was late)...but the show was amazing.

Black Messiah was released the first winter I lived in NYC and was my soundtrack during the Mike Brown protests (vivid memories of marching down the FDR to 1000 Deaths). D’Angelo forever and ever.

one of the realest tributes to Prince anybody did after he died. Somebody major needs to get on TV and do for “The Charade” what D’Angelo did here

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.
