In addition to his other hits, D’Angelo’s 2000 single, “How Does It Feel,” captured the attention of many fans and the industry overall, in part due to his highly-talked about, risqué music video that accompanied the track.
The Brown Sugar artist won his first of what would become four Grammys in 2001 for Best R&B Album with Voodoo, an award he’d win again in 2016 for Black Messiah.
Following D’Angelo’s death, a number of his fans and peers mourned his passing.
“Such a sad loss to the passing of D’angelo,” DJ Premier wrote on X. “We have so many great times. Gonna miss you so much. Sleep Peacefully D’ Love You KING.”
Brian Austin Green, too, shared he was “absolutely heartbroken.”
“Rest in Peace man,” he added on his Instagram Story. “Thank you for blessing us with your gifts.”
