WOW!! I never realized that Angela Bofill was a percussionist I am truly shocked right now. I thought that she was just a great vocalist. “Tonight I Give In” was a big hit in 1983 which is the year I graduated from High School.
Seeing Angela Bofill play percussion makes me even more in AWE of her incredible talents Rest in Heaven Angela! Your spirit, angelic voice, music and legacy live on! 🙏🏾💕♬🎤🥁🎶
What? I didn’t my know she died. I came to see if this was before or after her stroke. I was hoping she was better. I’m sort of young you can say…. I was just a baby or not even born when she came out. However I fell in love with her music like everyone else. Wow very sad news, I was looking to hear the opposite. Thanks for sharing.
@@nishamarley1416 you're welcome! A sad irony. On Sunday June 23rd, I saw Angela's "Unsung" episode from 2012 on TVOne for the first time. I found out so much about Angela that I didn't know and was curious, so I looked her up. I hoped to find out good news about Angela being in good health and returning to singing, even if only on a small scale, following her second stroke in 2007 and found out about her passing. Amazing that Angela lived 17 years after her second stroke! Angela was such a treasure who leaves a great legacy of amazing singing, songwriting and an effervescent, warm spirit.💕
@@nishamarley1416 , here is the link to Angela's amazing performance on Johnny Carson in 1979! I'm still in awe of it! I mush have watched it at least 100 times since last Sunday! th-cam.com/video/yijjUpv2ml8/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1😊💕♬🎤🎶
Omg, I did not know she passed away. I love “I tried” I think that’s the name of the song. She had an incredible soulful voice. She wrote that song when she was like 16. She sings that song with such passion. Will Downing remade it, and his version is good, but it’s not the passion of Angela’s version. RIP angel, I’m so glad I was able to listen to her music. She will definitely be missed
Nobody can sing that song like her. Hard to believe she was in HS when she wrote it (I Try). So very talented and should've gotten more recognition. RIP Angie 🙏🏽
Such a PHENOMENAL artist (Songwriter/Musician/Singer). She blessed us with her artistry. I'm heartbroken at her passing. One of mt ALl-TIME FAVORITE singers.
Both are wonderful dont compare with sheilia e please keep each one has their talent one excellent a singing the other drum Everyone has their expertise.
Omg this brings back memories I had her vinyl albums back in the day! Makes me try to see her beauty an wonderful music that she graced us with. Truly a Jazz Queen! Melba Moore, Physics Hyman, to list a few great ones Me lab's still amongst us. Jersey Strong!
@@kevinduncansr4491 Not comparing, just stating that she was a true vocalist in every sense of the word. Of course thee others were great as well…but Angie was make great music, before they came on the scene.
Here’s another rare find……. first it was Chaka Khan on drums I saw on a video. Now it’s Angie Bofill on percussions!!! all I could think of…… is this where Sheila E got her inspiration from? 🙂🙂😀 I have to find other best female singers played drums! 👍👍👍
Wow! I don’t have a clue why I didn’t know Angela could play percussion so well. Her timing was impeccable.Loved her vocals and tunes. She was one of the greats in my eyes.. much like Phyllis Hymen & Gwen Guthrie ,who all sadly past away suddenly also. Gwen could play many instruments & wrote & produced many of her classics. May they all rest in peace.🙏🏼❤
I first saw Angela in a free concert in NYC'S Central Park. She was the opening act for Gato Barbieri. People did not know who she was. But I did. That's who I wanted to see. After Angela's performance, EVERYONE knew who Angela was. She tore the house down!!! Rest in peace. 🙏
I saw her at the World Trade Center before 9/11. She was one of the musicians performing on Wednesdays as a part of Jazz Wednesdays sponsored by CD 101.9 (I miss that station). She definitely performed and loved the audience. It was my privilege to see her perform live. My prayers go out to her family.
wow ms angela I didn't know she can play wow that will been cool she could of collaborated with Shelia E , Mr. Estavedo, and Prince that would of being so dope! I so sad she pass may she RIP and prayers are with her family and friends
I never knew she played instruments. I saw this video about 3 days ago. Had no idea that the next day, she would no longer be with us. She passed on my birthday. A true talent that will be cherished by fans like myself. Rest well, Miss. Bofill
I agree with the first comment I didn't even know Angela Bofill played instruments and let alone drums! Amazing! She was very beautiful and her vocals were unquenchable fire💯 she had a signature sound you knew it was her! We're going to miss her! Much love to our sister Angela Bofill!!❤❤
Was this since her two strokes??? I ask because I thought her health forced her into early retirement and I notice the grey hair. I never knew she played drums and percussion.

RIP Angela. This was a side to her that I didn't know about
Rest in peace Angela. You were truly an angel.

This is making me cry… RIP L❤ve!
She was one of the unique R&B/Jazz/percussion of the late 70's. Suffered 2 strokes 2006-2010. "I'll try", "I'll be sweeter", "I'm on your side". ❤🎉
I LOVE her!!!! R. I. H, BEAUTIFUL QUEEN!!!
Queen was a great artist and song with passion. Gone, but not forgotten.
Such a PHENOMENAL artist (Songwriter/Musician/Singer). She blessed us with her artistry. I'm heartbroken at her passing. One of mt ALl-TIME FAVORITE singers.
Rest in musical peace, Queen Angelita!! ❤😔
The multi-fasted Sister from Cuba, and New York. You blessed us and gave smile for free. Love you.
Multi-faceted.
@@glennbrown6020 Thank you.
RIP Angela Bofill
SHE WAS EVERYTHING GREAT REST IN PEACE BEAUTIFUL LADY 👑💜🌷💋♥️

Rest in Peace. 🥀🙏🏽
Rest easy..Big Fine Self..she was absolutely beautiful❤
Loved her special talents, Rest in Peace Angela❤❤❤❤🙏🏽
I didn't know she played the percussion!! She was amazing.
Absolutely
So,so underrated...but she was 'Too Tough'
Very underrated.....
There's a reason Angela was signed to a jazz label, they weren't gonna let her be picked up by some Pop record label, she was too talented. 👍
Omg this brings back memories I had her vinyl albums back in the day! Makes me try to see her beauty an wonderful music that she graced us with. Truly a Jazz Queen! Melba Moore, Physics Hyman, to list a few great ones Me lab's still amongst us. Jersey Strong!
May she rest in peace
Before there was Whitney, before there was Mariah, there was Angie!!!
Why compare all were great but different
@@kevinduncansr4491Yes makes no sense...why not name Anita, Chaka and the rest.....
@@kevinduncansr4491
Not comparing,
just stating that she was a true vocalist in every sense of the word. Of course thee others were great as well…but Angie was make great music, before they came on the scene.

She was very talented on those drums

I thought she was so sexy when she was young and I loved her voice may she rest in power

R.I.P Angela Bofill (2 May 1954 - 13 June 2024
Learned somethi g new today. 😊
Never knew she played percussion....so good !
I was thinking the exact same thing!
Before Shelia E there was Angela Bofill. One of the best female artist if not the best in the industry.
Why did you single out Sheila? Every heard of Tania Maria? Flora Purim?
@@Steve-mp7by because Sheila is more popular than the people you named
Definitely!!!!!! 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Sheila was on the road with her Father as a young woman in the 70's
Every woman is different in their own right no comparison
Didn't know she did percussion too!!! Damn!!❤
I saw her at the Warner Theater and her performance was spectacular! I'm sure you are soaring Under the Moon and Over the Sky!
RIH Angela! ❤❤❤
RIP AB
May she rest in peace.
I had NO IDEA she was a percussionist! 😮 Amazing skills ❤

Back in the day artists were multi talented and could do it all.

Was this before her stroke?
When did she pass away.
6-13-2024!😥
I’m wondering if that is Charnett Moffett behind her
Was this since her two strokes??? I ask because I thought her health forced her into early retirement and I notice the grey hair. I never knew she played drums and percussion.
This was before her two strokes.
*Was wondering the same thing... This generation today just posts up stuff with NO information, story etc. All about the VISUALS...*
🎉🎉🎉🎉
And this was after a stroke which lessened the use of her left hand...
she's cold
