Angela sings with so much "grit" and "bite...."

It's like an anger, but its good..

Few singers would not be "overcome" by that bassline...

the video


You know, I don't think I have this 7" mix anywhere! It skips Rene's part of the second verse, and goes straight to Angela's bridge. It's got guitar on the ending groove too.

I have the original album and the 12" vinyl. The CD from 1997 only has the 12" mixes, not this single (video) edit.

I saw Angela's Unsung a few years ago. I don't recall her explaining why she has not released an album since 1994. I know she had cancer but that was in the early 2000's.

Heard this on "Groove" Sirius the other day. Didn't this song have a video of Rene riding around on a motorcycle (like someone else we knew back then?..wink........Whatever happened to Rene? Is he still in the industry?

It is pretty good. Sound like some drama went down with Rene and Angela.

Yeah, she is a fantastic singer. And "I'll Be Good" is a bonafide classic! One of the best 80's R&B records IMO.

RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time...
