After collaborations with multiple artists, including his girlfriend at the time, Angie Stone, as well as Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill, D’Angelo’s sophomore effort, Voodoo, debuted at number one. The album would go on to win the Grammy for Best R&B Album, a feat he would repeat in 2016 for Black Messiah.<\/p>\n
D’Angelo would also score a Grammy for the lead single off of Voodoo, “Untitled (How Does It Feel),” which was helped by its music video’s stark imagery, with just a seemingly nude D’Angelo singing as the camera zoomed in and out, capturing the imaginations of a generation of fans.<\/p>\n
The artist is survived by two sons and a daughter, with his oldest son shared with the late Angie Stone, who died in a car accident earlier this year on March 1 at just 63 years old.<\/p>\n
Jill Scott was one of the first to pay tribute to D’Angelo, with her message on X <\/strong><\/a>coming just one day after she’d honored the artist in another post<\/strong><\/a> where she expressed her love for his artistry, alongside Erykah Badu, Bette Midler, The Roots and others.<\/p>\n“I told you a long time ago-You ain\u2019t gon understand everything & everything ain\u2019t meant 4 U ,nor I, to understand. I never met D\u2019Angelo but I love him, respect him, admire his gift,” she wrote on Tuesday. “This loss HURTS!! Love to my family that are family to him. I\u2019m so sorry. R.I.P. GENIUS.” She added two broken heart emojis.<\/p>\n
