Song of the Day # 382 D'Angelo and the Vanguard

 
One of the blessings of writing this blog is how much new music it has exposed me too. When I started this particular series, over a year ago, almost all of the choices were selections from the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties. Now, a great many of them are current, like this, from D'Angelo's new album, Black Messiah, which is out later this month. His first for fourteen years. It's obvious the tradition it comes from. Prince, Sly Stone and George Clinton's influence are all over it. But he makes a very good job of it.
