D’Angelo, the acclaimed neo-soul singer who found fame in the 1990s and early 2000s with an innovative and sensuous take on 1970s R&B, died on Tuesday at 51. His death was confirmed in a statement by his family, which said the cause was cancer. His biggest songs, like “Lady,” “Brown Sugar” and “Untitled (How Does It Feel),” were hailed as supreme examples of the era’s revolution in soul music.
