Some voices come from sacred places. D’Angelo’s was one of them. His music carried the soul of the church into the heart of R&B. His performance of “How Does It Feel” and “Sugah Daddy” at the 2012 BET Awards was a masterclass in R&B, Gospel, Soul, and quartet influence. It was raw. It was reverent. It was undeniably Black. A true architect of modern soul, his influence will forever echo through the DNA of R&B. Rest in peace, D’Angelo. 🕊️ #BETSoulSundays | BET
