^ This is what i'm talking about. Not someone 'that sounds close to a black person' but this is the type of 'musicianship' that i would die to hear sit on a D'Angelo album.
That buddy buddy stuff is mad cool & all dat, but this is a business. You have to put those relationships aside and do what's best for your career.
I would love to see D'Angelo cohabitate with those type of cats on that clip above.
Oh, that's a Kim Burell song called 'Have Faith In Me' which they utterly killed!
