Sad to hear about Angela Bofill. I was also fond of her songs from the 80's.

This is so sad to hear, she is a wonderful singer. If you were to rank all of the prominent Women singers of the seventies, she would be in the top twenty. Although she did not have the major hit that other singers had, she established herself as a force to be reckoned with. This is just my informal list of R & B women from the seventies in term of importance.

20. Natalie Cole
19. Phoebe Snow
18. Angela Bofill
17. Patti Austin
16. Patti Labelle
15. Betty Davis
14. Gloria Gaynor
13. Thelma Houston
12. The Pointer Sisters
11. Dionne Warwick
10. Aretha Franklin
9. Minnie Ripperton
8. Roberta Flack
7. Donna Summer
6.
5.
4.
3.
2.
1. Diana Ross

and I will stop right here because I have to some research on who should fill out the rest of the list, I'm seriously lacking here.

Sad to hear she suffered another stroke.

A concert fundraiser was held in Detroit this past February to raise money for her medical bills.

I used to love Angie Bofill. I think "I Try" may be my favorite song by her.

I remember seeing her in concert at the Orpheum back in the 80's. That was when she had the hit song "Too Tough" out. She put on a good show, And she had a killer, Sexy red dress on that showed off her figure very nicely. But what really surprised me was her wide range of music. She did Jazz, Funk, R&B and Rap. Yes Rap. I remember her saying that if that white chick from Blondie can do it, then she can too. I was impressed. I'll pray for her.

sad Aww. I'm very saddened to hear that. I love Angela Bofill. She's another great artist that did not get her just due. Had she been given the props she so rightfully deserved, chances are she would not be having an issue with paying medical bills. It's extremely unfortunate. I'm so sorry to hear about that. I pray that she recovers. Much, much love to her.
