Black people have always gone hard for D’Angelo’s music and legacy because his music was the soundtrack to our culture. It wasn’t one household where you didn’t see a D’Angelo record displayed near the studio of a black household. He will forever be in our souls for what he gave to us. 🕊️

there is no way we can talk about legends, no way we can talk about musical genius without talking about D’Angelo. the soundscape he created built bridges between the secular & spiritual worlds. I’m devastated, man. what a seismic loss for funk/soul music lovers everywhere. 💔
