D'angelo Could Sing The Phonebook And It

You Know, Like, There's Songs Like "valerie" And "bang Bang Bang" That I Was So Proud Of. And, You Know, The Level Of Success That They Had - If They Were Little Cult Hits Meant That, You Know, I Could Sellout Webster Hall Or Williamsburg Musical Hall Or The El Rey Theater In La. Like, That Was Having Made It To Me. So The Thought Of Having A Number One Song In My Own Career, Like, Never Even Registered.

Stevie Wonder Doing 'we Can Work It Out' By The Beatles Is One Of My Favorite Records Of All Time.

I Think That That Spirit, Or At Least The Raucousness Of Maybe That, Is In There. And Then Yeah, Like, Along The Way, You Fine Tune It 'cause You're Thinking, Like, Ok, We Need To Now Turn This Into A Song.

I Don't Have A Crazy Rider Clause Saying I Have To Stay At Fancy Hotels. I Don't Have A Problem With Staying At A Marriott. But I Will Admit That I've Gotten Just Basic, Regular Service There.

And Sometimes, I'd Be Allowed To Be Hanging Out In The Studio, Which I Just Loved Kind Of, Like, Being In The Room With These Big Recording Desks, With All These, Like, Buttons And Knobs And Watching The Guys Use Them.
