Remembering the great #RoyHargrove @groveydean, who would have turned 56 years old yesterday, October 16, 2025. His cover of Funkadelic's "I'll Stay" featuring our beloved D'Angelo @thedangelo is even more soulful now ... my Gawd!
#BlackGenius
I hope he and D'Angelo are soon reunited in the next realm and will be having a helluva jam session.
Still stunned ... 🕊🕊💔
