17526, IMHO releasing "Send It On" as...

the 3rd single was the BIGGEST mistake in the marketing of Voodoo. I understand it's significance to D'Angelo but it took a minute for me to start feeling that song.

ITA w/ both of those comments. Devil's Pie should have been released/re-released or whatever. It was definitely imo the most obvious next "single" from the CD. A re-mix of Devil's Pie would have been tiaght! I also think One Mo Gin would have been a marketable single as well. I think folkx would have gotten into the music and the lyrics on dat one. How many people have someone they wouldn't mind seeing "One Mo 'Gin".

I STILL think the CD was/is all dat and I hope the live LP will help extend it's reach to the masses. I was mixing that with E Badu's new disc last weekend and bumping the he!! outa both of dem! Those CDs have staying power. No disrespect to JScott, but I haven't picked up her CD in a minute.
