There is a group called Twice consisting of two sets of twin that recorded a version of Sparkle that was produced by D'Angelo and Angie Stone. It was distributed by Silas/MCA in 1997 and contains 4 versions. D is all over the joint, contributing background vox and it sounds like he's playing all of the instruments. (Has his signature rhodes/organ sound) There were promos of this single that surfaced before the album's cancellation. I have an extra cd copy and an extra 12" copy if anyone is interested.
