D’Angelo was more than a voice. He was a feeling.

The kind that could silence a room or move a crowd with one note. His music carried the soul of gospel, the grit of hip-hop, and the smoothness of pure R&B, creating a sound that changed everything. From ‘Brown Sugar’ to… pic.twitter.com/YTPZD58dtw
D'Angelo wasn't a soul of many words, because he seemed to believe his music would speak best for him. And it will. Forever for a multitude of generations and to comfort anyone who misses his soothing tone or decadent energy.

D’Angelo’s Prince tribute was the only one that moved me to tears, the way he got choked up. He was truly his greatest musical son. pic.twitter.com/TRGJOXwatJ

A true Maestro — his voice, vision, & spirit reshaped the sound of a generation.
He didn’t just make music — he built a language of soul, rooted in tradition but entirely his own.
