I saw an interview of hers from a couple of years ago and it completely broke my heart. Her first album "Angie" is CLASSIC to me (I study "Under The Moon And Over The Sky" to this day), as my parents knew her back in the day and played that album and "Angel Of The Night" endlessly. So sad....

I could have sworn about a year ago that someone said that Unsung had already soht footage on Angela.

No surprise here. I would love to see them do one on Starpoint.

This group really had some ups and downs.

Yes! Looking forward to this!

-

Didn't Starpoint only have 1 hit? I could never tell them from Atlantic Starr or Midnight Starr. Billy Ocean should have an Unsung

Starpoint's "Object Of My Desire" charted well, and indeed also as phunkdaddy posted, a great loss of the couple in the band, Renee Diggs and Ernesto Phillips.

Renee had multiple scleroses and from what i heard or read, it started around 1985. Very talented band of 3 brothers & friends.

My favorite Starpoi nt songs are "He Wants My Body" and "What You've Been Missing".

I used to LIVE for Angela Bofill! This was one of the major albums of my teen years. I wore this sucker out!

Physically she reminds me of Phylis Hyman especially around the eyes and they were both tall women.

I had no idea she wasn't black till recently

Oh yeah she's a Sister.

She's Latina with perhaps Black ancestry.

I think she's half Afro-Cuban. I did read she had Cuban ancestry but it's unclear what. Hopefully her "Unsung" episode clears this up.

I was just playing this CD in the car last week. Definately my favorite from her. With "Angel Of the Night" coming in a very close 2nd!!!

4 some strange reason I've always got her and Phyliss Hyman mixed up.

Damn that's great news.. I didn't even know that she had recovered from her Stroke.. So she's performing again.

From my experience, many Puerto Ricans do not consider themselves black. Only a few would. One Puerto Rican woman I've met many years ago said this to me, and she said Puerto Ricans should be considered Carribean people because of it's location.

I remembered her back in the eighties, and when I was in high school, this girl used to greet me by calling me Angela Bofill

Well, they were with the same label (Arista) for a while. During that time, they both worked with some of the same producers, had a similar music style, were both targeted towards the same adult R&B audience and neither of them received the attention they deserved from Clive Davis. So, yes, I can understand why you could maybe confuse the two.

I'm Puerto Rican. We're 1/3 Carribean Indian (Taino), 1/3 Spaniard, and 1/3 African (from the slave trade). All different shades, depending on the bloodline, but it's all there. The reason why some don't consider themselves black is because of the areas in PR where there are mostly very dark-skinned Ricans due to their pulling a lot of the Taino and African side, and THAT population is very much discriminated against in PR. My grandmother is somewhat dark-skinned, while my sister pulled her father's Spaniars bloodline, so she is very fair-skinned. Yes, we are Carribean but the bloodines have mixed. Very similar to Cuban and Dominican bloodlines.
