Twitter Mourns Death Of LaShawn Daniels

Grammy-winning icon LaShawn Daniels was your fave songwriter’s fave songwriter who shaped ’90s R&B with his platinum pen and impeccable ear for hits that shined as the gold standard until his tragic passing from a reported car accident in South Carolina.

Words simply can’t describe how talented the Catalog King was, especially for those who missed the golden R&B era where he penned classics for Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Whitney Houston, Brandy, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez and many, many more.

We offer our sincerest condolences to his beautiful wife April, family and friends. Donations can be made to the Lashawn Daniels Memorial Fund at LashawnDanielsMemorial@gmail.com via PayPal.

YOUR gift wasn’t just in your brilliant melody and lyric, it was when you walked into a room, when you laughed!
I thank God for your laugh, and the time I got to share with you on this Earth!

The R&B community lost a heavy hitter today. Someone who helped shaped the voices we know and love. Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, Lady GaGa, Brandy, Whitney Houston, Toni & Tamar Braxton, and SO many more.
