..but I knew that song felt like everything to me. My upbringing in the church. My love for the soul music of my mothers heyday. My wonder of what my future held.

I doubt I even knew who D'Angelo was honestly. But if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have this memory or message.

I vividly remember my excitement when she pulled the cassette out of her purse. You would've thought she gave me a million dollars.

I doubt I truly understood the power of the gesture (I'm referring to the choir of famous black men singing D'Angelo's letter to young black boys)..

First version I heard of this song was Donny's. I like other versions but few can compare to what he did with these words

Lemme guess..they white right?
