- From the 1996 single: "Lady"
Michael Eugene Archer (born February 11, 1974), better known by his stage name D'Angelo (pronounced dee-Angelo), is an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and record producer. Born in Richmond, Virginia, the son of a Pentecostal minister, he began teaching himself piano as a very young child, and at age 18 he won the amateur talent competition at Harlem's Apollo Theater three weeks in a row. After briefly being a member of a hip-hop group called I.D.U., his first major success came in 1994 as the co-writer and co-producer of "U Will Know".
His debut solo album, Brown Sugar, released in July 1995, received rave reviews and sold over two million copies. Along with artists like Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, Maxwell, and collaborator Angie Stone, D'Angelo became part of the Neo soul movement. Following this D'Angelo went on a hiatus before releasing Voodoo in January 2000, which debuted at number one. Its lead single "Untitled (How Does It Feel)," was a smash on the R&B charts and won a Grammy for Best Male R&B Vocal; likewise, Voodoo won for Best R&B Album.
Following the release of the video for "Untitled (How Does It Feel)," D'Angelo became more uncomfortable with his growing status as a sex symbol. This was followed by numerous personal struggles including alcoholism, and a fourteen-year musical hiatus. D'Angelo released his third studio album, Black Messiah, in December 2014, although it was originally set for release in 2015; the album was met with critical acclaim and fared well on music charts, peaking at number five on the US Billboard 200.
D'Angelo signed a publishing deal with EMI Music in 1991 after catching the attention of record executives through a demo tape, which was originally by the group. After an impressive audition for EMI execs, a three-hour impromptu piano recital, D'Angelo was signed to a recording contract in 1993. A&R-man Gary Harris was primarily responsible for his signing, while manager Kedar Massenburg helped negotiate the contract as well. Massenburg became D'Angelo's manager after hearing of him through "the buzz on the streets".[12] He had previously managed hip hop group Stetsasonic and formed the artist management-firm Kedar Entertainment in 1991, which he diversified into production, music publishing and publicity.
In 1994, his first significant success came in the form of the hit single "U Will Know". D'Angelo co-wrote and co-produced the song for the all-male R&B supergroup Black Men United, which featured R&B singers such as Brian McKnight, Usher, R. Kelly, Boyz II Men, Raphael Saadiq and Gerald Levert. D'Angelo composed the music for "U Will Know", while his brother, Luther Archer, wrote the lyrics. Originally featured on the soundtrack to the film Jason's Lyric (1994), the single peaked at number 5 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks and at number 28 on the Billboard Hot 100. The music video for "U Will Know" featured D'Angelo as the group's choir director; he reprised the role for the live performance of the song at the Soul Train Music Awards. That same year, he wrote and produced the song "Overjoyed" for the Boys Choir of Harlem, which appeared on their studio album The Sound of Hope (1994). The success of "U Will Know" helped build the buzz surrounding D'Angelo, which was followed by a number of highly promoted showcases, and added to the buzz among music industry insiders.
Brown Sugar was released in June 1995. Although sales were sluggish at first, the album was eventually a hit. The album debuted at number six on the US Billboard Top R&B Albums chart in the week of July 22, 1995. It ultimately peaked at number four in the week of February 24, 1996, and spent a total of 54 weeks on the chart. Brown Sugar also spent 65 weeks on the Billboard 200 and peaked at number 22 on the chart. It sold 300,000 copies within its two months of release. The album had been selling 35,000 to 40,000 copies a week through to November 1995, and by January 1996, it had sold 400,000 copies. With the help of its four singles, including the gold-selling Billboard Hot 100 hit "Lady" and R&B top-ten singles "Brown Sugar" and "Cruisin", the album reached sales of 500,000 copies in the United States by October 1995. On February 7, 1996, it was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, following shipments in excess of one million copies in the U.S. The album was certified gold in Canada on May 9, 2000. Its total sales have been estimated within the range of 1.5 million to over two million copies

AZ is one of the most underrated artist in the history of rap!!
Big FACTS!!!
Yesss
Don't forget Pharoahe Monche, Ras Kass, Black Thought...
@@TheHumanBallsack Black Thought isn't underrated at all.
@@lazyworkaholic7011 Ask 100 people who Drake or Kayne or Eminem or Jay-Z is, you'll get most ppl saying they know at least some of their shit. Ask those same 100 people if they've ever heard Black Thought's work, even something as notorious as his Hot97 freestyle, damn near none of them would know his shit..
Az's flow 🔥🔥🔥 the real ones know!
his rhymes are insane!!
Yesssssss 🔥🥰
Facts Suga Hill baby
Mo money Mo Homicide......
Possibly the most underrated MC in Hip Hop.
I’m 26 and First time listening to him. Man I was born in the wrong era. Lucky y’all who got to witnessed this era. I’m so jealous 😂😭
😆😆😆😆😆😆
Lol but these videos let u know how we felt n was going through 😮❤😂
The 90s are Why we hate all this bland heartless shit
It will continue to live through u
It was an amazing time!!! I was a teen in the 90s and im blessed I got a chance to experience it all
D'angelo voice is pure gold. 😉
Good
Is Ah yes solid gold
A lot of people don't know, D'Angelo gave Erykah Badu the opportunity to open one of his shows when she was starting out. 🤘🏽 He recognized good talent.
Can't stand that Witch !!!
@@TruG670that seems like a YOU problem 🤷🏽♀️
I love how you put this as if he's above her because he sure does deserve it
@@TruG670bey either
This generation will never understand how DOPE the 90's were. ✌🏾😎
And our generation forgot cause most want to be and think they are millennials
@@moesyzslak2939
Millenials were born between 1981 and 2000.
Kev27RS Not 2000. Millennials stop at ‘95/‘96
@@chimcham6762 That's not what I've heard to be honest...
I've always heard "2000".
I always thought millennials were born mid 90s and so on
I'm still listening in "2020"
Who with me?
Brooklyn is watching and listening
#Facts 😍😍
Real shit, in 2020 it STILL aint nobody fuckin' with this!!!! Eryka still finer than a Muthafka!!
Feb 23 2020 - Canarsie all day!
Rommell thompson- Wid you bruh. no doubt, Peace! 2020!!
I'm still here too
AZ deserves his flowers
The 90’s Was & Still Is Everything To Me 🎶
Legendary! 96 was a sick year!
96!!!!
One of the best years for music except for 2pac being killed.
Nine Six, year of the remix!
One word BABY.
The early 90's period
“The earth was once lavish now it’s curse left for a savage”🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
😂
AZ is definitely 1 of the dopest rappers of the 90's
Of all time! Better than 95% of todays rappers
Of all time!
That focus on the keyboard! I was a teen when this dropped, and at 40 it still resonates. 💜
I feel you I'm 38 we are the last of a dying breed glad I grew up in this era
D.Angelo, and Dino of H. Town has a soulful voice that you will never forget. Dino is no longer with us, but Dino will never be forgotten. I can listen to D.Angelo and Dino all night long.
I still cannot believe this came out 24 years ago. 90s has such good music...🙌🏾
Music4TheSoul I was in kindergarten lol
I was in the navy.
Jerrod Cooper how long where you in the navy?
24 😭😭🥴🤬😀HOW SWAY !!! Im not old
AZ is SO Brooklyn!! East NY STAND UP!! 💯
When R&B & Hip Hop ruled the world. Wow. I miss these days.
G
That is literally the same thing that is happening nowadays wtf
@@nesso011 its not the same thing brother , what you hearing here is the pure form of R&B and Hip Hop nowadays the labels has done everything in their hand to kill the realness on music and now what they're selling to us is music without soul. Soo its not the same brother D' Angelo and AZ are singing to the soul
One type of music should never rule the world and rap after the mid 90's went downhill and stayed there.
@@hathor4isis no it didn't. '97 was the arguable best year in the 90s. Any year really. That's that basic shit believing it died or declined in 95/96
AZ is so dope with the mic bro ! Memories... 👍
Mr Influential Preach
Erykah Badu, Joi and Faith?! What a time with these great women. Classic remix
Music4TheSoul I thought it was Tyrone
Knew it was erykah kinda looks like tichina Arnold
It’s faith’s daughter
Nvm lol
I forgot Chyna, Faith’s daughter.
She’s a background vocalist just like her mother was .
Always loved AZ. Side observation: his outfit in this video is so great.
One of the best remixes of all time!!AZ killed it!!! I rocked to this back in 96 when i lived in Springfield Mass & they use to play this all the time!! Miss these days!!
Damn! D'Angelo wasn't letting AZ have any of that bench! LOL!
😂😂😂
Nigga coat was taking up half the bench alone 😂
K 😂😂
😂😂😂
💀💀😆😆😆😆
That's cool that him and AZ collaboed together I love to see brothers working together and the little girl is precious.
Those VOCALS!!! I love this song!!!
90s music was soulful and organic.
Wow, Joi, Erykah and Faith! Awesome!
This remix is timeless
AZ is sooooooooooo underrated!!!!! I appreciate this remix. I miss the 90s something terrible!!!!
Mad bars from AZ. Rap has evolved to today's hip hop. Still the dominant genre of all music. The only form of music copied by all races and done in multiple languages all over the world.
❤️❤️ EVERY BLACK WOMAN HAD A CRUSH ON D'ANGELO AT SOME POINT
Yup. Me.....
This is classic remix right here with Deangelo feat AZ. Spitting them dope bars .And my beautiful black queens. Looking beautiful as ever.
Music like this and during this generation definitely defined what real love and commitment was all about and what it meant to have a connection along with so much more with men&women 💯
Dam Straight Fire....Nothing like Real R And B...I need Time a machine...Fine ass D Angelo with the Butta..voice and Az with hip hop Flava..This is How it's done ....Salute
This is the real deal these new rappers and singers will never know what and how good tunes sound
That preemo mix was so badass.
With the lack of dope music being made today, thank God for gems like this we were lucky enough to be blessed with and still rock today
"Lady" is D'Angelo's biggest hit single to date in the United States, peaking at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1996.[9] It was certified gold by the RIAA on June 4, 1996.[2]
Brown Sugar was the Hit not Lady !!!
Vintage Goodness. D'Angelo was Mad Dope fasho.
I'm glad I came up in this time.. 90's😘😘😘 80's baby
I was 16 AZ was and still is one of my favorite rappers. I listened to anything with AZ on it and this was one GEM I found “CLASSIC” 90’s was the greatest.
I'm astounded at the fact that there are people who didn't know of this version and video.
anjelheaven right, smh
my 1st time seeing it.
Lol this the only version I knew for years. Best version for real
I literally just found out and now I’m here

How can u not fall for Erykah badus eyes... She's got that glow
AZ smacked dat up🎙🔥
Even after all these years this song still hits ❤❤
It doesn’t get better than this RnB remix
The 90z ... The greatest decade of all time ... Even 30 years from now the 90z will still be talked about
The amount of unbelievable nostalgia I get from watching this video and hearing this song is overwhelming... thanks for the upload.. you're greatly appreciated...
This beat and song sucks!
@@BlackFaithProduction you're a fool. You're muted as well!
Love both versions (Original and Remix) 🎶
Premier is a monster when it comes to production
1996 was the height of the golden era of hip hop and r&b ✊🏾 #SNKrLOG
I say it all the time. We were extremely privileged, To come from that Time. Wouldn't trade it for anything!!
Then pac died smh
Man everytime I look up, '96 had bangers... Hip hop and definitely the RnB
They don’t make em like D’angelo no more.. one of a kind brotha 💕🙌🏽 Sheesh
You kno the 90's was 🔥🔥 when its the decade shouted out the most in lyrics!
He was so shy back then. But sanging omg! He ain't that shy no more though. Sang brother! Glad you're back brother. We missed your music.
The song still bumps to this day, even in 2020‼️💯💯💯
Get'em D!! Classic 90s sound (An Era of sensational musical creations)
I'm stuck in the 90's. Music and rap was on point.
One of the best remixes of all time!!!
wow..never knew AZ and D'Angelo collaborated. this is a gem.
Just watched D'Angelo on Versuz. E. Badu turned 50 yesterday. It's our duty to teach the youth about this era.
The man actually was playing an instrument. Back then remixes were a new thing, fresh and cool.
I love music like this its so mellow and I can listen to this while working
this video is so simple and lovely
Before internet before RUclips before facebook before twitter and camera phones and instagram straight love and real people with real talent
Buying imported CD singles for remixes/instrumentals!!
It was internet just wasn't what it is now
@@steeleking3311 right. Windows 95
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
That statement sounds like a bar right there
This is a classic, with classic beauties representing, even lil baby Chynna. The very next year, "Baduizm" dropped, and changed the entire world...
Va. That's one of ours to . Big up to Richmond Va.
Richmond Va! Broad St....
*too*
Masterpiece Legendary 🎶💯🙌🏿👑💥🔥😎🤜🏿 #blackexcellence
Houston’s own Dj premier on the track! Love AZ flow on this!
this is the first time the world saw erykah badu....on & on hadn't even dropped yet.... I remember this like it was yesterday!
AZ UNDERATED
What's he doing now,?
Definitely!!!
how the hell half of you didn't know about this CLASSIC??? Come on man smh step yall's game up, Preemo and D'Angelo make nothing but classics!
ChicagoStyles23 Lol, talk to 'em...
No seriously d’angelo is probably my favorite artist after prince and marvin. Yet never heard this before. And with my boy az on it as well!
I never heard this...I remember the other remix with Def Squad, but my guess is this version didn't do too well on radio. You probably had cable back in the day😁
And when the time is right, the wine is right... play the original!!
#pantiedropper
Yep, like D'Angelo and Preemo on Devil's Pie from the Belly Soundtrack
Omg AZ! And DeAngelo
AZ always sick wit it!!!
Whoa, never knew this existed! 🔥👍
Damn. AZ tight as hell
Facts! Got that smooth barz flow!
Discovering 'Voodoo' and the Soulquarians changed my life in high school. I have all three of D'Angelo's studio albums on vinyl, and I've seen him live twice. So how tf am I today-years-old and just seeing this video for the first time?!
😮 This is a certified timeless classic music hit !!💪🏿💯❤️
*Black Is Beautiful*
John remin FACTS!!
Blackwomen skin don't crack or age
Chad Payne Correction, will always be beautiful.
@-TheManInDboX - It isn't though...
@@goranseso502 where do you get you stats from? The lame token black friend u hang with?
I remember this was the first time I saw Erykah Badu. I must've been all of 11yrs. old & I literally said aloud, "Who is that gorgeous lady with the head wrap?" Unbeknowst to me how she would dominate the sound and aesthetic of the industry just a few years later. So new, yet so familiar. I swore I was gonna marry Erykah in the 90's. Such a welcomed & refreshing chapter in the culture; considering Baduizm's debut was sandwiched between the deaths of 2Pac & Biggie.
and she is a nutjob from what they say. But I agree with everything you said. Those eyes and lips drive me crazy. Not to mention her voice is pleasantly unique. Baduizm was dope.
FireMadeFlesh II me too...lol except I was 17...doing my research.. found out she was 25 at the time. the. I thought to myself..'I can get her' lol
Come to think of it, this video might've been the first time I see Erykah too. Cuz this joint was definitely on my radar.
You n I Both Brother. Great Minds Think Alike.
I saw her in vibe magazine first in '96. i was 17, she was 25 and I figured.. in a few yrs I'd be old enough to shoot my shot!
This remix with AZ is 🔥🔥🔥
Haven't seen this video since I was 13. This remix been in my mind all these years ....
I read in the comments that I'm not the only one who have never heard about this remix before lol ! Thank you for this, *I love that song* 🖤
Yaaaaassss! Memories.📟👏🏾📼
Da 90's will always b missed real music it will never b like dis again 😥😔
This bumps in the car
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 My type of music
This earth was once lavish now it’s cursed left for a savage dope ass line
This is so 90s!! D'Angelo, Joi, Faith, Erykah, AZ and Primo! Straight heat right here🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
80s and 90s was the music era damn this was in 96 still sound good
4 minute long pure goosebumps!!🔥🔥
One of my all time favorite songs… still… I’ll put it this way: seeing this video, I can see why D’Angelo quit the industry to save his own soul.
im so happy i grew up when i did and got to experience this kind of music first hand. i love music from previous decades but im sorry there will never be a decade like the 90s
NEVER Known About This Remix.. And I Came Up In The 90's Damn..
This that respectful music🙌❤❤ Still listening in 2018!! 🔥🔥
