D’Angelo’s story begins in Richmond, Virginia, where music surrounded him from childhood. His father preached in a Pentecostal church, and he learned piano by ear, eventually playing for services and absorbing the harmonic vocabulary that would shape every phase of his career. As a teenager, he showed extraordinary talent and drive, forming groups, writing early material, and winning Amateur Night at the Apollo Theater three times in a row. That achievement pushed him toward New York City at eighteen, where he wrote for others, produced demos, and secured his first major recognition by co-writing and co-producing “U Will Know” in The post Complete List Of D’Angelo Songs From A to Z appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.
