Both artists died in 2025, leaving massive holes in the music world.<\/p>\n<p>D\u2019Angelo passed away on October 14 at age 51 after battling pancreatic cancer. The Richmond native pioneered neo-soul alongside Hill during the late 1990s. His groundbreaking albums <em>Brown Sugar<\/em> and <em>Voodoo<\/em> redefined R&amp;B for a new generation.<\/p>\n<p>Roberta Flack died on February 24, 2025, at the age of 88. The Grammy-winning vocalist behind \u201cKilling Me Softly With His Song\u201d and \u201cThe First Time Ever I Saw Your Face\u201d influenced countless artists across five decades.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><d## class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><br \/>\n<d## class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fugees - Killing Me Softly With His Song (Official Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oKOtzIo-uYw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/d##><br \/>\n<\/d##><\/figure>\n<p>Hill\u2019s connections to both legends run deep through her musical DNA.<\/p>\n<p>She collaborated directly with D\u2019Angelo on \u201cNothing Even Matters\u201d from her 1998 masterpiece <em>The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill<\/em>. The electric piano-driven track showcased their shared neo-soul vision.<\/p>\n<p>D\u2019Angelo sang and played keyboards on the intimate love song. Their chemistry captured the essence of late-90s alternative R&amp;B.<\/p>\n<p>Both artists were pushing Hip-Hop and soul into uncharted territory.<\/p>\n<p>The Fugees transformed Flack\u2019s signature hit into a Hip-Hop anthem in 1996.<\/p>\n<p>Hill\u2019s melismatic vocals over Wyclef Jean\u2019s production introduced Flack\u2019s artistry to younger audiences. <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/oKOtzIo-uYw?si=8JiOFUfEx5rLgAW9\">Their version<\/a> reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100.<\/p>\n<p>Hill performed at Flack\u2019s memorial service alongside Jean and Stevie Wonder. She sang \u201cThe First Time Ever I Saw Your Face\u201d with raw emotion.<\/p>\n<p>Both D\u2019Angelo and Flack championed artistic integrity over commercial pressure.<\/p>\n<p>D\u2019Angelo released just three albums across two decades, each one critically acclaimed, while Flack\u2019s sophisticated approach to R&amp;B set standards that still influence artists today.<\/p>\n<p>The Grammy tribute will broadcast live from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Trevor Noah returns as host for his sixth and final time.<\/p>\n<p>The ceremony starts at 8 PM Eastern on CBS and Paramount+.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/allhiphop.com\/news\/lauryn-hill-to-honor-dangelo-roberta-flack-at-2026\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lauryn Hill will perform at the 2026 Grammy In Memoriam segment, honoring late neo-soul pioneer D\u2019Angelo and R&amp;B legend Roberta Flack.
