RIP to legendary Italian poster movie poster artist Renato Cesaro. Video stores made millions off his lurid better-than-the-movie artwork, and to this day my shelves are FULL of his work in one form or another. Amazing how many genres for which he was the definitive artist.

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.
