It's the best track on the CD. When D'Angelo sets his sights high, musically and spiritually, his aim is true...

The reproductive behavior that helped us survive as a species may no longer be beneficial. DON C. SCHMITZ Tallahassee, Florida What we crave is people--the closeness of relatives, the cup of sugar a neighbor hands over the fence and the unexpected guest for dinner.

They are never gained by quick phone calls, handshakes, cards, promises to get together or the intrinsic closeness of the nuclear...
