This was the same year that The Artist Formerly Known As Prince accepted a lifetime achievement award on behalf of Prince. Funky show all around, should give it a view...


I remember that very well...the end of the show I'll never forget with Prince and the sucker in his mouth next to Quincy Jones. wink

I believe that was in 95
This was in 94

Someone correct me

Listening to these guys, especially together, always makes me think of what a massive influence Stevie Wonder was on male R&B singers. More than any of the other legends from the 60s/70s, I'd say. You can literally hear him in almost all of them....

Classic! Always loved this track. Never seen this performance. So many great singers. The only weak link in the chain was Usher. An omen of the future there. Fakes like that would soon take over.

Did D'Angelo really write this track? By himself?

As far as I know, he wrote the whole track his ownself.
Midnight I agree re Usher. I said it once and I'll say it again: Sit DOWN, Usher. Show some respect for your elders, who can out sing your ass.

IIRC, it was written by D'Angelo (it is entitled "U Will Know" after all) and co-produced by D'Angelo and Brian McKnight.

Heyy, Mint Condition's is being played on the radio. Their latest hit "Nothing Left to Say" peaked at #3 on Urban AC charts & #27 on Billboard's Top Hip/Hop & R&B Songs charts. So Mint Condition is still well and alive... and looking 4 a third single off "E-Life" My pick would either be "Moan" or "Gratitude"

Check out the video 4 "Nothing Left to Say"

c/s. (i still agree that radio is dead)

Though my next pick as a single would be "Right Here". "Moan" is also a good choice too.
