D'Angelo needs to know that it isn't and never was that body that made the music happen. What D'Angelo (Michael) has was sent here with him from birth. God gave him that talent and man is trying to take it away. Michael, don't you ever give up on what God intended you to have. You keep singing and give the glory to the One who gave it to you to begin with. Just like God gave it, He can take it away. He gives it willingly, but He doesn't take it away so easily. You still have what you always had. Pick yourself up, thank God for the journey and keep on pushing.

I was wondering about D'Angelo. This is a sad story, he was one of the bright spots in the R&B movement of the 90s. Hopefully he bounces back.

Also, knowing you like I do, I'm sure you agree with me that good music is good music regardless of genre. It seems self-imposed labels often keep us from exploring art as it was meant to be explored: with an open mind. Sometimes it's good to take the chip off the shoulder every once and a while, put down the latte, take off the black rimmed glasses, turn your nose down a little, and really listen to what's going on in a musical piece without the filter of pretentiousness we all like to don.

Keep up the good work!

Hey guys, thanks for the positive feedback. I know it's strange to see this on an indie blog, and believe me, I hate mainstream music too. I just thought it was engaging topic. Glad some of you enjoyed it.

Thanks for posting this fascinating and deeply saddening story. It's a welcome reminder that although it is easier to mistake superficiality for reality, it's a lot more interesting to dig deeper. We are all more than what we wear, what we look like and the corners others box us in to.

I really, really appreciated this post. Not that I don't appreciate other posts, but it's quite refreshing when authors sometimes step out of their usual posts and can still be passionate and engaged about what they're writing.

this is exactly the reason that I love this blog. My musical inclinations couldn't be more similar!

Praising this R&B song captain is very, very unexpected. Listening the song was a bit torture, but ok i did it. Taking steps beyond this indie/folk is a brave thing. I am curious what is next?
Viscously i hope it is not "the follow-up album" ;)
