View this post on InstagramAfter Flack's death, the hip-hop-soul star penned a moving tribute on Instagram, writing, "I grew up scouring the records my Parents collected. Mrs. Flack was one of their favorites and quite instantly became one of mine as soon as I was exposed to her. She looked cool and intelligent, gentle and yet militant."
Meanwhile, D'Angelo lent his vocals to a collab track on Hill's standout album. "Nothing Even Matters" quickly became a soulful, melodic fan-favorite of the project. The "Brown Sugar" crooner's death prompted another reflective sentiment from the 50-year-old, who insisted his "undeniable beauty and talent" was "not of this world."
