    Black Messiah is probably the most underappreciated record in existence. Especially for an artist like D'Angelo.

    This is one of the most beautiful songs of all time. More people need to hear it

    One thing about Digging the Grates he’s going to give D’Angelo his flowers. One of my favorite artists who should be appreciated more. Thank you for that 🥹🖤🖤🔥🔥

    I was a kid and a fan when D'Angelo dropped brown sugar. I never thought I would one day be involved with his recording sessions. I was fortunate enough to have been in the studio during the latter stages of this project. He is a great artist, It's a great album and this is one of its best tracks.

    D'Angelo's voice is the ultimate layer, he makes it make sense

    Such an amazing album! I remember listening to the album for a solid year when it came out. Still listen to it to this day. I couldn’t believe he took the time off between each album just to get good at guitar so he could play it. As musician you got to appreciate the dedication.

    I love what RR said about this record: That there’s so much tension because it feels like it could fall apart at any given time(timing-wise), but it never does

    This album itself is heavily underrated. I’m glad you covered this track. This and “Another Life” made the album for me . Great video

    I did mushrooms by myself at the river one night and the following morning I was playing this album watching a pair of beavers swim up and down the river. When this song came on the lady beaver stopped on a rock and vibed out to it with me and she looked so visibly at peace and impressed that I was in awe😂 enjoying nature by onesself is really the greatest environment to play this album.

    Spanish Joint definitely gotta have its own video. The groove on that song is incredible!!

    Pino Palladino is my favorite bass player of all time. His basslines are amazing on this album, betray my heart is another great one, along with that horn section 🔥

    Only a really incredible mix of musicians combine on D'Angelo's work... the results are flawless like this song. Great insight. Thank you my friend 😎👍🏼

    D'Angelo is the most significant Soul artist to have emerged in the past 3 decades. He is the man.

    Man, i love your work in your yt channel, every time you put out a new video it's like opening a book, lot of knowlegde there. Your dive deep in the background and technique behind the songs in an amazing way, aaand also got the taste for the best and most classic themes. Love and respect brother. You keep doing your vids i'll keep watching them.

    The Strings OMG! Goosebumps every time. First time I heard it I immediately assumed it was Claire Fischer. (Whom I've followed for decades and who's probably most famous for the long emotional string outro on the extended version of Purple Rain.) Surprised / not surprised to hear it's his son. Will def have to check him out! Maybe do a whole episode on the two of them? 🙏
