D'Angelo
A self-taught pianist who began playing at
the age of three, D'Angelo took his
soul influences (Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Stevie Wonder, Prince) and parlayed
them into a EMI contract when he was 18 years old. He wrote and co-produced
"U Will Know," from the soundtrack for Jason's Lyric. The single
featured
D'Angelo with Tony Toni Tone, Boyz II Men, Tevin Campbell, Gerald Levert,
R. Kelly, After 7 and others. His debut, Brown Sugar, appeared on EMI in 1995.
Live at the Jazz Cafe followed in 1998, and two years later D'Angelo returned
with
Voodoo.
