The late singer may have suffered from setbacks and only released three studio albums, but the range he displayed in this perfect catalogue was astonishingD’Angelo, Grammy-winning neo-soul pioneer, dies aged 51D’Angelo – a life in picturesIn the mid-90s, the Roots’ drummer Questlove was approached to work on the first album by a new soul singer. He turned the offer down out of hand: “I was like, ehhh, soul singers in the 90s – whatever,” he later remembered. “I’m not doing this. Nothing about soul singing had moved me, from any 90s offering, the same way it did with Otis Redding, Stevie Wonder, Lou Rawls.”A year later, with D’Angelo’s debut album Brown Sugar on the shelves, Questlove had radically reconsidered his opinion: when he spotted the singer in the audience at a show the Roots were playing, he “thwarted and threw off the entire show” by suddenly playing “an obscure Prince drum roll” in a (successful) attempt to attract his attention. “The only person that mattered to me that...

11 h. ago ‘Left me physically exhausted’: readers on their most stressful movies ever

After Guardian writers shared their picks, readers responded with films including Gravity, Paranormal Activity and The RoadWhen the film ended suddenly and silently I found I was gripping the seat armrests and noticed too that nobody moved.
