The Mystery of D'Angelo
D'Angelo, born Michael Eugene Archer on February 11, 1974, is a trailblazing American singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, widely regarded as one of the pioneers of the neo-soul movement. Known for his sultry voice, intricate melodies, and genre-defying artistry, D'Angelo captivated the world with timeless hits like "Brown Sugar," "Untitled (How Does It Feel)," and "Lady." His unique ability to blend R&B, soul, funk, and jazz has solidified him as one of the most innovative artists of his generation.
Rising to fame in the mid-1990s, D'Angelo redefined soul music with his debut album Brown Sugar and cemented his legacy with the critically acclaimed Voodoo. Despite his immense talent, D'Angelo faced significant challenges, including battles with substance abuse, the pressures of fame, and long hiatuses from the spotlight. Yet, his return with 2014's Black Messiah reminded the world of his unmatched brilliance, offering socially conscious lyrics and groundbreaking soundscapes that resonated deeply with fans and critics alike.
Throughout his career, D'Angelo has collaborated with some of music's greatest talents, including Questlove, Lauryn Hill, and Erykah Badu, further establishing his place in music history. His influence extends beyond neo-soul, inspiring countless artists to embrace vulnerability and push the boundaries of their craft.

I listen to 'Alright' on the Brown Sugar damn near everyday. 30 years later that is still one of my most favorite albums!!!!Classic!!!!!
I love D’Angelo I watch anything about him I love all his albums voodoo brown sugar and black messiah i just wish he had more confidence in his self if he just knew how bomb he was a teenager when he first wrote black men united and even that song makes me tear up a little and I’m a black woman
This was an incredible video! Definitely spinning it again! D’Angelo has always been someone I’ll wait for musically, cause you know it’s gonna go crazy.
I feel in love with his voice from the Kentucky Fried Chicken jingle. I HAD to find out who he was!
their story damn near mirrors the temptations
I had a childhood crush 😻 on D’ Angelo so bad ❤ my daddy would tell me to get off the tv 📺 because I would keep rewatching him 😂oner and over until I would have wet dreams at night 😢
We need a Anthony Hamilton and D Angelo album .
I miss him
DRMS TV from the heart thank you so much for this! D’Angelo is one of my all time favorite artist. 👊🏾🖤
If this man lick his lips one more time I declare it as a felony. He has to be convicted of........assault on my beautiful mind. ❤❤❤❤ dammit how does it feel? I dont know sir I couldn't listen to the video , because of him licking his lips. My bad. I'm going to try again. ❤❤❤❤
Why would woodie make that face @ 8:06😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 he said yall see meeeee!!!
I had to pause, cuz claiming Jones Beach is in Jersey @ 15:25 is crazy
She needs to come clean about Diddy Pop lol
Heavy D mystery passed of Pneumonia smh like Kim P
Al B Sure still here.
Wayment….. you mean to tell me that men called in to complain about being uncomfortable with seeing his chiseled brown torso in the nude??!!!!😮😮😮😮
He was so sexy during his prime 😫
I’m still thinking of that music video.
Bro i absa-fuckin-lutly love your channel. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
An absolutely amazing watch I started diving into D'Angelo's music last year, and it's been nothing short of a spiritual experience. His artistry, his soul, and the sheer depth of his music are unmatched. I've been hoping for a documentary that truly captures his essence, and this delivered beautifully. Thank you for bringing this to life it's everything I hoped for and more❤
This was so powerful
These stories are absolutely heartbreaking! ESPECIALLY when you ARE the greatest female vocal group of ALL TIME!
Absolutely loved this!!
This is an amazing documentary! So well done. I wish it was longer but im definitely subbing.
I hope you continue to make more content ya shit 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
D’Angelo 🐐
The fact that Angie Stone tried to make excuses about her not pursuing him when the man was a child, and it was her responsibility to say no to that inappropriate age gap is wild
This documentary really explains the inception of the East Coast vs West Coast, Bad Boy vs Death Row Beef, was really Death Row vs Uptown Records. 🤔🤔🤔🤔
This man is so fine whew 😓 Praying he gets it together ❤️🙏 his songs are still in rotation in my household ❤
D'Angelo is one of the baddest artists you can ever listen to. I also wanna emphasize that Angie Stone is disgusting, and she did the same thing to Calvin Richardson...
can you please give us ca list of the music used in the video ?
Aaliyah next !
So Puff was abusive from day 1. The wealth gave him the confidence and power to feel untouchable
Hey, you did a really great job with this. Thank you for honoring D’ Angelo in this way.
Great video. Thanks for this. Could you do a Maxwell video as well?
Can you do a video on B5?
How do you release an album titled Voodoo and not expect destruction to follow you. That’s opening spiritual doorways to the wrong kind of spirits.
….or it could have just been a play on the word, as if he wanted to “put you under a spell” of good music and vibes. The whole album was his “spiritual awakening”. I don’t think he meant it in a negative way. But art IS meant to be interpreted in many ways.
@ that’s even worse. No man or anything is supposed to put you under a spell. The only spiritual awakening I acknowledge and believe in is that of the Holy Spirt leading us to our lord and savior, Jesus Christ. Anything else is from the devil and he isn’t singing gospel.
oh BROTHER
@@nerwopchill. Stop taking it so literally. I believe in God but have the mental capacity to separate literal from entertainment. Plus, if you don’t agree with the title of his project, then why are you on here listening to a documentary about him? I would assume you would want to stay away?
Mary lor ass was drunk as shit look how she was speeding to dat couch 😂 28:20
This was a really good documentary! I’ll always love D’Angelo idc what he looks like.
😭😭 thank you!
He and Maxwell's particular singing style, formed from the universal pool of soul crooning influences of the 60s and 70s, has constantly been imitated by male singers since the 90s ended. I hate what happened to him but I'm glad he is in a healthier space these days.
I'm glad he is getting the recognition he deserves. Gen Z really been bumping his music a lot here lately in the Midwest (I'm in Kansas), folks act like it's new, I'm like uuuuh I grew up on "Lady" and "Brown Sugar", where y'all been? Good documentary, the crossover artist/celeb stories have me gasping.
I just love this man!! Thank you for this! ❤
OMG I can’t believe his is only 5’6 that just ruined all his sexiness I swear I thought he was at 6’ something you can look up to
Height isn’t everything. Ppl miss out on a lot of potentially good relationships and sometimes have bad luck with finding true love because they base everything off looks.
@@billiejean6678My father was 6’4 and use to beat my mother who was all of 5’2 everyday. Luckily, she divorced him. She met a man my step father who is no taller than 5’7 and treats her like the Queen she is. My mother told me that she use to look down on short men because she thought they were weak, but a man she viewed as strong and thought could protect her abused her daily. You’re right some men and women miss out on a good thing because they’re too focused on looks and height.
@@devinsmith2695I’ve dated some tall guys who thought because they were tall that made them a high value man but they were horrible partners. For some men that’s all they have to offer really is their looks.
As the hugest D'Angelo fan, I gotta tell you this a really dope short documentary on dude. You've got yourself a sub! Great job!
Facts. This joint is surprisingly refreshing as far as short form docs go. Definitely worth a sub.
Amazing video I love D'Angelo so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
