”You were a pioneer of neo-soul and changed rhythm & blues forever”, writes Beyoncé on her site.
Lauryn Hill, who has collaborated with D'Angelo, writes on Instagram that she wishes she had more time with the star:
”Your undisputed beauty and talent were not of this world”, she writes.
Even stars like Tyler, The Creator, Nile Rodgers and Jamie Foxx join in the tribute choir on social media.
D'Angelo began his career as a songwriter for other artists, but established himself as a solo artist with his debut album ”Brown sugar” 1995. He was nominated for 14 Grammys and collaborated with artists such as Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z and Q-Tip.
