While in the midst of celebrating the inauguration of the nation’s first black president, D’Angelo weighed in on the impact the President will have over the next four years.
The singer is among those who believe Obama’s presidency will result in an upward swing for the country in light of current economic issues and negative perceptions among those living in and outside the U.S.
