Hey ladies, do you think anyone has forgotten this video?
The man had a perfect bod...wow.

RICHMOND, Va. - R&B crooner D'Angelo, who won over America with his '90s soul ballads was critically injured in a car wreck outside his hometown of Richmond.

D'Angelo, 31, born Michael Eugene Archer, was in a 2003 Hummer sport utility vehicle on Sept. 19, 2005, when it crossed the roadway and struck a fence, ejecting the singer. Apparently, D'Angelo wasn't wearing a seat belt. D'Angelo was initially listed in critical condition, but no further information is available.

Officials at Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center, where the Grammy-winning artist was flown after the wreck, said the family had asked that his condition not be released. Another person, Lynne Sellers, also was injured in the wreck. Police couldn't say which of the two had been driving. The accident occurred in Powhatan County, a bedroom community west of the city. D'Angelo lives in Midlothian, just outside Richmond. The cause of the crash is under investigation, Barrick said.

For Those of You Who Don't Follow Music:

D'Angelo is an excellent R&B artist. I don't follow all his music, but everything I've heard is beautiful. His style of singing is very reminiscent of my favorite old R&B singers, which I believe are absolutely timeless.

D'Angelo rode a wave of popularity that culminated with a Grammy in 2001 for best male R&B vocal performance for "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" from the album "Voodoo," which won a Grammy for best R&B album.
