    Soak it all in ladies and gentlemen. In the current times that we're in, this is a phenomenon. Real musicianship by both artists (no drum machine and keyboard programming), real music (the original cut by the S.O.S. Band), and real singing by D'Angelo (no auto tune). These type of performances are few and far between in today's show business.

      @@216Numbskull no YOU are funny!!! Prince was the ultimate musical genius. And he idolized arguably the 2 greatest musical geniuses to ever live. Stevie Wonder and Joni Mitchell. He also adored D’Angelo and would jam with D and Ahmir because he recognized that D was indeed a genius like himself. I study musical geniuses. And respectful bro I probably have more knowledge of who is a musical genius and who is not in my pinky finger than you have in your whole body. Paul McCartney, Jimi Hendrix, Van Morrison, Shuggie Otis, Frank Zappa, John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, DJ Premier, and I can keep going but I won’t. A musical genius is an extremely rare thing. And I never get it confused. So trust me on this one bro D’Angelo is a certified musical genius

    D'Angelo, I have read how you are extremely concerned about your weight and are at times self conscience about it. You are still handsome and talented. Do not let critics hurt your feelings. I have gained weight too from having to take medication for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder because of the neglect and abuse I suffered from my ex husband and fighting four years through homelessness alone. God is absolutely amazing! I guess what I would like to tell you is, there are so many beautiful qualities in a person set a side from how they look. Their mindset, spiritualism and loving the Lord, their character, loyalty, kindness and compassion, faithfulness, how they make you feel just snuggling, the words written in a song, or the mere tone of a cord that they played, something that they do that makes them different and special in their own way. There are so many wonderful attributes of people that are not based solely on how one looks and if appearance is all a person cares about, well, they are just absolutely wrong as well as fake. Getting to know a person's heart, soul, what makes them laugh or cry, what are their interests and this just vaguely scratches the surface of really knowing and loving someone for who they are... don't let that bother you and you keep your head up

      You're not allowed to show any emotions or niceties these days because men that are soft to their women are now shamed as being a "simp" or a cringy "niceguy." Meanwhile at the same time women are encouraged to be extremely strong and independent against men. Those two factors combined you have a very combative women/men dynamic that has no space for emotions or anything sweet, really.
