Soul Salute: Angela Bofill

Angela Bofill was born May 2, 1954 in the Bronx NY. She was always one of my personal favorites and is one of those singers who has a rather small catalog but enough of a strong loyal fan base to cherish everything she recorded.

Sadly, Angela Bofill suffered two strokes in the mid 2000's and she didn't have medical insurance. So there were fundraisers held to help cover her expenses. She has worked hard over the years to recover and rehab from the strokes in 2006 and 2007 and and hopefully she will fully recover and can do what she did best. Sing and perform.

Here are a few selections from the great Angela Bofill. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGELA!

her biggest hit and her best! "I Try" from 1979


"Under The Moon and to the Sky" (1978)


"Angel of The Night"


"Tonight I Give In"


And here Angela is on stage with her friend, the late great Phyllis Hyman
