A lot has been written about the genius of D\u2019Angelo\u2019s Voodoo album since the star\u2019s death earlier this week, but just in case you were starting to think that it\u2019s only being considered a classic with the benefit of hindsight, resurfaced footage of Eric Clapton and Rick Rubin being treated to a preview of the record prior to its release in 2000 should set you straight.<\/p>\n
One clip that\u2019s been widely shared shows Clapton\u2019s reaction at the end of Spanish Joint, Track 9 on Voodoo. With his jaw literally dropping, he turns to D\u2019Angelo, shakes his hand and says: \u201cI can\u2019t take much more. Is it all like this?\u201d, before laughing at the almost ridiculously high quality level of the music he\u2019s listening to.<\/p>\n

We also see a similarly awestruck Rick Rubin (sitting alongside Chris Rock) listening to One Mo\u2019Gin. \u201cThat\u2019s the shit!\u201d he says, after bobbing his head in appreciation and looking like he\u2019s feeling the song through his entire body.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
