October 14Oct 14 Author Man, I just love that loud-ass snare drum on "Brown Sugar". "The 2 and 4 are right HERE."
October 14Oct 14 Bummer. I've got Brown Sugar on CD in a box somewhere. Problem is I've got to find a CD player.
October 14Oct 14 one of my mount rushmore guys. i probably listen to his music 330+ days a year. this really really sucks. RIP Michael “D’Angelo” Archer.
October 14Oct 14 How Does it feel? Dude went butt-ass for the $. RIP. Edited October 14Oct 14 by TheStoicPaisano
October 14Oct 14 Man, he was soooo smooth. I was a P1 of the Questlove Supreme podcast (also RIP), and he talked so frequently on there over the years about his time with D'Angelo and how formative those experiences were (especially making 'Voodoo'). This has got to hit him hard. Edited October 14Oct 14 by sasquatch69
October 14Oct 14 Author I landed on some of those live tracks with Questlove in my rabbit hole explorations when his stuff with the Vanguard hit. So great.
October 14Oct 14 iirc it was either si or espn the magazine that did a feature in ricky, and in one of the photos he was siting on his living room floor holding his voodoo record. i wish i could find that photo.

D'Angelo was one of one. this aging business sucks.
