He also won Best R&B Vocal Performance for “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” and Best R&B Song for Black Messiah’s “Really Love.” \n\nRead more about D'Angelo and his musical legacy here:\nhttps://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/dangelo-dead-obit-obituary-1235446878/", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
