Several artists have honored Prince since his untimely death, but nothing compares to D’Angelo.
The crooner paid an emotional homage to the late great musical mastermind during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last night (April 26, 2016).
That’s when D’Angelo gets too emotional to continue. He pauses, takes a breath to go into the next line, and stops. Backup singers, Maya Rudolph and Gretchen Lieberum, finish the lyrics for him, singing “I know that he has found another friend.”
