Quintessential Gentleman

A sit-down with Bryan-Michael Cox, the Grammy-winning producer behind Usher's Confessions, Mary J. Blige's Be Without You, and one of the longest Billboard Hot 100 streaks in history, surpassing The Beatles. I sourced the interview, pitched it, conducted it myself, and wrote a piece that opened on set two days after D'Angelo's passing, with Cox walking over mid-shoot and changing the music to Brown Sugar.
