So, you know I dislike these Special Editions, because it means a musician has died, and, in this case, D'Angelo did, in fact, perish - pancreatic cancer. That death was announced yesterday....
...and yet I dragged my heels until today, because, yes, D'Angelo happens to have been born and raised in Richmond, VA, so, well, waiting a day made sense in this case.
His death is terribly sad, and he will be missed, but because of that, you get to relish this Grammy-award winning song, co-written by D'Angelo and longtime collaborator Raphael Saddiq. The soulful ballad also ended up being one of his biggest hits.
For as long as he kept performing, D'Angelo didn't forget this song. His live performance was soulful, and the crowd loves it.
His voice and his stage presence will be missed.
