I feel like the Earth shifted when D came to do music. He was the embodiment of some shit that was a complete balance of what our ancestors created, to where he took it. There\u2019s nothing under the sun that hasn\u2019t already been done. But it\u2019s a whole other thing to make it your own and combine what has already been done with what hasn\u2019t been done yet. There have been a lot of soulful artists who played and sang that came before him and came after him. But the impact was nowhere near the level that he was able to do it on just three albums across 34 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tD\u2019Angelo died earlier this month following a battle with cancer that had not been publicly disclosed.
