    It's nice to see him getting some more serious recognition outside of record heads these days with the live performances. Shows that even when it seems like most people don't care, there is an audience out there.

    Buy the reissue! It has unreleased tracks and Darondo makes money on the release.

    every time i talk to the man he's overwhelmed by the response he gets from his music. traveling, interviews, recording in the studio, practice with the band, etc.

    its also happening at such a time in his life where his business with homes crashed hard and he needed something else to fill the time until the market goes back up.

    thanks to all of you who have supported his projects and gone to see him live... hes not here to say it to yall but he appreciates it!

    jinx, thanks for passing that along, and thanks to you for helping bring Darondo's music back to the public eye.

    I agree with the original title of this thread..."Didn't I," is probably the most beautiful soul song I've ever heard. I, like many I've read on here, remember hearing it for the first time, and just turning to my girlfriend next to me and saying, "This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard." True facemelt moment.

    "Legs" is the cut.

    I seem to remember him having a nice article in an older WaxPo?

    i remember this. i believe it was jinx who posted it up with some backstory. little did we know he'd be ushering in a full length rerelease later on.

    True facemelt moment.

    indeed

    similar to the first time i heard 'precious wing' which could be the second sweetest soul song ever

    Dorando is garbage compared to the Isley Brothers.

    you best pump your reeboks thrice before stepping to the king, son. Check your bifocals, looks more like you.

    I can't remember who it was, but some time ago now, somebody posted up a remix they'd done of "Didn't I?" which used the drums from Dilla's "Fuck The Police", and it was really nice - sped up a little, but pretty sympathetic on the whole.
