RIP Angela Bofill It was announced on Angela's official facebook page that she passed away yesterday. What an incredible singer. One of the most underrated. She will be missed. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

I was hoping that this was another one of those dumb Internet hoaxes. Incredible singer with so many great songs and albums. Rest in peace. | |

SoulAlive said: Love that song! I can listen to her "Angel of the Night" CD without skipping any songs. It is a perfect album. "Too Tough" had some superb ballads. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

I believe she was noted on CBS Sunday Morning's "Passage: In memoriam" today. Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking. |

One of my favorite albums by her is 'Something About You',released in 1981.This was her third album and her first album on Arista Records.Produced by Narada Michael Walden,it's a solid album filled with great tunes.The excellent title track and "Holding Out For Love" were the singles.There's also a superb remake of the Stylistic's "Stop,Look,Listen (To Your Heart)'.Highly recommended.

RIP Angela...
I began my Angela Bofill listening odyssey in 2008....while crate digging at a local used vinyl record shop I ended up buying her first seven albums Angie Angel of the night Something about you Too Tough Teaser Let me be the one Tell me Tomorrow... Very unique voice.... The only thing I was familiar with up to that point Was "I Try".... And a cd that my mother's boyfriend had called "Intuition".. I don't think I even heard the Intuition album... But her name always stuck with me.. I used to get her name and Patrice Rushen mixed up for some reason But I do remember 'I try" coming on the radio in the car... and my dad singing along to it..lol... Those first two albums on Dave's Grusin's GRP label Was the precursor to what was to come on his label.. Acts like Tom Browne,Bernard Wright..Bobby Broom..Don Blackman I want to say her..and her friend flute player"Dave Valentin" were the first signed to GRP...but I could be wrong.. They were more of the Jazzpop vein... "Baby I need your love"...and the "only thing I wish for." are my favorites from those two.. When she went directly to Arista...and Narada Michael Walden started producing her.... He had the magic touch with female vocalists during the 80s Magic touch period... He crafted pop..grooves.soulful ballads.. He unlocked a formula.. The three albums he produced should have been bigger... Clive saw what he could do and so producing Whitney and Aretha paid dividends for his label...throw in Kenny G too... Narada helped keep the lights on at Arista back in the day along with Ray Parker Jr ...and Kashif.. writing hit songs and hit albums Tropical Love... Only Love Time to say goodbye accept me(I'm not a girl anymore.). Rainbow inside my heart.. I can see it in your eyes You're a special part of me..duet with Johnny Mathis Is this a dream. Still a thrill.. Too tough (obviously) Teaser.. Gotta make it up to you... are some of my favorites off those three Narada album collaborations Then we find her working with The System on Let me know... Love me today.. Let me be the one.. Getting into loving you . Are amongst my favorites on there If you love The System... you'll definitely love That album.. And tell me tomorrow finds her working with George Duke... Another jazz fusion.. turned R&B producer . . Good album like the rest of his productions of the day with Jeffrey Osborne...Deniece Williams.. Sister Sledge Thank you Angela .. Your music is a joy to listen to... You will be forever missed...
