THAT was the album that would have put Bilal at D'Angelo's level of lure and legend. I am a huge fan of both, and I like Bilal's recent work, but "Love for Sale" blew my mind. It actually made me okay with D's absence.

I could state the obvious about D vs. Bilal as a musician, but the fact that D plays instruments and produces his albums wouldn't make a difference to the general public.
