We’re losing recipes, y’all.
Rest in peace, Angela Bofill

RIP.

I remember my dad always playing her tape in the car. This was my favorite song. I was always mesmerized at the spanish part towards the end of the song. I had no concept of afro-latino as a kid .

My uncle told me a story about meeting her in college.

Homecoming concert had Angela Bofill, Whoodini and some other artist.

Basketball team was backstage kicking it with the artist.

He said she smelled so good. He hugged her and didn't wanna let her go

 

[Rollie Forbes]

Such a beautiful voice.
Rest in peace, Angela Bofill.

Favorite song

Breh, "I Try" was a staple on the original Quiet Storm on WHUR FM (R.I.P. Melvin Lindsey), and deservedly so. It's such a beautiful song, and Ms. Bofill sang it with so much pain & passion.
All these years later, it's still one of the GOAT breakup/heartbreak/I want you back songs.

Yep. This was a Quiet Storm staple. Even Don Cornelius said this was one of the most beautiful songs he ever heard.

“I Try” is one of my favorite songs of all time in any genre. RIP to her

Wasn't of my era, but this one song on the Johnny Mathis duets album was always a favorite of mine!

I hate to read this news and see she had suffered from strokes and lost out on so much.
