D’Angelo, the Grammy-winning R&B singer known for his raspy yet smooth voice, has passed away at fifty-one. Real name Michael Eugene Archer, he died Tuesday, per a family statement. His career took off with soulful tracks like Brown Sugar and exploded into the mainstream thanks to that iconic shirtless video for Untitled (How Does It Feel) from his album in two thousand. That clip was everywhere-sultry, slow-motion, pure heat. He blended funk, jazz, and gospel, earning a Grammy for Best R&B Album in nineteen ninety-six. Fans adored his raw emotion, but he stayed reclusive, dodging fame’s glare. Collaborations with folks like Questlove from The Roots kept his legacy alive. Tributes are pouring in-people on X are sharing memories, calling him a genius. Tragic loss for R&B.
