Rip Mrs Bofill! Fly high!🕊️ I've been riding with you since about several years after the release of this song. I'll be 60 next month. And i still have this album on cassette. My condolences and prayers 🙏 ✝️ go out to the rest of her family and friends.
A remarkable and memorable talent. Beauty. Voice. Performance. She delivered on each and every note she sang. Pitch Perfect!! Our ears, mind and hearts have been blessed because of her!!
Well, well I am right there with you she was just a Beautiful, Unique talent that impacted my understanding of How beautiful and emotional a song can change and charge our lives. She will truly be Misses 😢.
Imagine the difference for generations....teenagers growing up hearing songs like this compared to what teens have to grow up hearing today... This is high vibrational music at its finest
@Nupedebonaire07 talent in humans does not go away. Angela was a beautiful and talented woman but there are others who exist today that are also beautiful and talented. Don't let nostalgia close your mind. There is some awesome talent out here, seek it out.
Mostly all the music now is complete garbage with no real substance, meaning or originality. But Ms. Angela Bofill was definitely a brilliant gem and this is most definitely one of my most favorite songs by her and this was a excellent live rare performance she was so very stunning, beautiful and graceful she definitely was gifted from God above.
Perfect. Let's not forget that Angela Bofill has a degree in music and was trained to sing. She played the piano and viola too, and wrote music. Of course, she knew music theory and read notes, a professional musician through and through. Everything had to be just right. She's among the best singers of her time, and is one of my favorites. To complement the musician in Angela is her humanity - her great stage presence; that lovely, lovely face that recalls her Cuban and Puerto Rican heritage; and her beautiful soul.
Anyone can study music theory and learn to play instruments, etc. but at the end of the day it's a matter of having "it". Either you have it or you don't and she certainly had it.
I want to live one day of the eighties again, I would fill it with the music of Angela Bofill, Phyllis Hyman, Stephanie Mills, Jean Carne, Aretha, Whitney, Mariah, Dionne, Patti Austin and Labelle, Anita Baker, Donna Summer, Diana Ross, Janet, Roberta Flack, Chaka Kahn, and of course, Luther. That is when music was music. Sadly, the millennials, will never see these people perform live and in their prime, and a lot of us have. "So who's zooming who?"
I get it, you are young, kidding. I listed how much I enjoy a lot of women's voices and that is what I liked about Luther's voice, it was honey toned and beautiful. I never thought about his power, but you are right. @@newera5238
I loved this song for decades and this is the first time I heard her sing it live. My eyes and mouth were wide open in awe of her flawless live rendition and her beauty.
My absolutely favorite jazz vocalist of the 1980s. Angela's gifts were remarkable. She would take your soul on a journey into the depth of the song. I kept this song on repeat for hours and never let go. Rest in peace, precious. You blessed us immensely.
Her voice was rich, powerful and clean. She had perfect pitch, octive and range. Almost unreal. Most artist have to lipsinc through a performance like this. There will never be another.
Angela had a concert at Zellerbach Hall on the U.C. Berkeley Campus back in 1982. For some strange reason, I brought my copy of her "Something About You" album with me to the concert. As others were filing out of the auditorium, at the conclusion of the show, my friend says to me, "Let's go meet her". I'm thinking to myself that we can't go backstage and meet a famous recording artist. Sure enough, we go backstage and met her and her producer, Narada Michael Walden. Apparently, I looked like someone that Narada knew and they let us stay long enough a brief conversation and for her to sign my album. Unbelievable experience for a 22 year old kid. She has always been my favorite female vocalist.
jahawk7 That was a very good experience to you, and very good memories for you! I also like her songs and I live in South Asia. Thanks for sharing! Sorry about the late comment.
Just when I had started listening to more of Angela Bofill's songs after her unfortunate passing...and then I hear this vocal masterpiece! And then she breaks out SENSATIONAL "scat singing" that would make Ella Fitzgerald and Natalie Cole proud! WHAT?! There was no vocal element she couldn't do! I'm even more in AWE of Angela Bofill! Her voice, so sultry, magical and a 3 1/2 octave range! Ironically, I saw Angela Bofill's episode of "Unsung" on June 23rd for the first time. I did a Google search, hoping to read good news about her recovery from two strokes and was saddened 😢 when I found out she passed away on June 13th. My heart 💔goes out to the Bofill family. Angela, "Your next home will be even sweeter!" Rest in Heaven, Angela! Your spirit, silky voice and musical legacy lives on! 🙏🏾💕♬🎤♬
I was 17 in 1980 and a rock and roll bass playing white kid. She changed that; the first two albums hooked me. Saw her several times in San Francisco and Berkeley and was blown away. This video brings it all back. She is and was a class unto herself. Beauty and art and craft and the female allure are the rarest of treasures. The likes of her do not come around often but when they do it a sight and sound to behold. I feel fortunate to have seen and listened when I did. It was life-changing.
I also saw her live several times at Kimball's East and Yoshi's. Her vocals and musicianship were in a class by themselves, and she very endearing with the audience.
She's singing about a man whom we would now recognize as having NPD, narcissist personality disorder unknown in the '80's but now seen as a plague of highly manipulative people in the love arena breaking hearts just to get attention. She describes this disorder exactly from the victims perspective. That said this was my favorite song as a teenager, she's so powerful and real.
One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite artists of the 1970s and 80s - this song expresses such a vulnerable emotion of being unappreciated. I hope Ms. Bofill knows how deeply we appreciate her talent.
Pulls at me every single time ! Dayum some 40 years later and this song Still hits me right there. How many failed loves have I sang this song to when it was finally over and I m alone in my little apartment sit n on my lumpy sofa on a sunny Saturday afternoon looking out the balcony smoking like a train and I can t move cause I might slip on my puddle of tears? Angela helped me get through some tough times. Correction, I should say God and Angela helped me. They threw me a life saver or two ... we GOT THROUGH ! ! She is a Bonita Puerto Rican who we all love ❤️
Cashflow Glo, you're just a hopeless romantic aren't you. I can picture you, just like I can picture the story in this song. Angela having this conversation with the man that thought a diamond was just a shiny rock.
😭 Sadly, it is confirmed that Angela Bofill passed away on Thursday, June 13, 2024 at the age of 70. May she Rest In Peace. Gone but not forgotten. 🙏💝😭
I was born in ‘75 so I never heard of this beautiful soul until today 😢, did they play her music on mainstream radio? I can’t help but think of the singer Vanity when I see her. RIP Angela Bofill
@@MarshaT.ZoeLiving - 👍Yes, she was popular. My mom & auntie’s played her music all of the time. You should research more of her music. She was a talented artist. May she rest in peace.😞
It has been confirmed that Ms. Angela Bofill, a gifted songwriter, soul and jazz vocal artist, has passed. Her composition, ‘I Try’ is a remarkable account of a sincere yet complex relationship with lyrics that pull at your heartstrings. Whenever I listen to ‘I Try’, I cry. Tears will flow…as they are right now remembering this beautiful woman. ❤️🩹🕊️
One of a kind talent is Angela Bofill, singer, songwriter, musician, composer, jazz improvisionist/scatter, diva, beautiful, and there are not many like her today.
between 2:05-2:40, she could have been lazy and let the music play, but being a true singer/artist, she chose to challenge the music and do a lil SCATTING.. u youngins don't know what u all been missing.. this is when music was REAL and had meaning
I always loved the richness in her voice. Saw her numerous times when she came to Philadelphia . She is still in my list of top female singers. I miss her.
I'm sincerely sad and heartbroken to hear the news that Angela bofill passed away today at the age of 70. 6/15/24 💔💔💔 She was a favorite of mine with many special songs. RIP Angela.
My name is Joe bennett and i can say that I am ms.Bofill number one fan ive been through so much through the years to prove that Angela is not only my favorite singer of all time she is also the most underrated singer of all time
Angela Bofill voice could get you in a positive mood jazzy and her classy sound incredible!! Thanks Ms.Bofill for sharing your timeless music and soulful voice ❤❤Richard Shackelford
I’m here after hearing of the passing of Angela Bofill. I had the privilege of seeing her perform at Jazz Wednesdays years ago at the World Trade Center before 9/11. EVERYONE and myself included loved her performance and she loved the fans. There is no auto tune here: Pure talent! And JLO can’t hold a candle to this legend. Rest well Angela Bofill. 😔
Remembering singer #AngelaBofill the singer known for her incredible voice has died at the age of 70. She had some amazing songs. #ITry #ThisTimeI’llBeSweeter #TonightIGiveIn and many more may she rest in peace
The mark of a great singer is singing studio quality in a live performance without lip-syncing to a recording. Not many music stars would even attempt a song like this. She is tremendous.
I just heard today that Angela Bofill has recently passed away at the age of 70. I am shocked and saddened as she had overcome so much illness around 10 years ago and was hoping and praying she was out of the woods. God Bless her and the family.
Angela's scatting was the most perfect form in time and everything I've ever seen! I mean so nice and precise and skillful. Love every minute of this performance. On fyre! Superlative! She is by far one of the best vocalists throughout history and her "phrasing is a definitive school ' within itself. I mean how many times can you say "Wow"! to this performance and her range in every way and method. This is a historical gem. Johnny Carson doesn't even know who he had on his show that night! A Goddess of Song. She might be the best phraser next to the King, Nat King Cole. She is the Queen of Phrasing!
Losing all our greats 😥 absolutely beautiful with a voice and style all her own. I will forever miss her and will continue to listen to her music. Thank you for sharing you gift!💔
My favorite female singer since I was a little girl. Met her in my 30s when I was an attorney. I full blown fangirled, no shame. But she did a tour with Bill Cosby, bet she has stories😏.
Angela Bofill and Phyllis Hyman love their singing, two great singers!
Yes they were amazing. In my opinion those 2 along with Anita Baker were the best 3 of all time
The best❤
2 light skin baddies. FYI I know AB was Hispanic but still lightskin 😂

You Stupid.🙄MATTERS
PEACE&LOVE
Her voice is clearer than my future.
Damn,Lol!!

A murky river is clearer than your future
Hearing she passed at 70 brought me here! June 2024!
Me two. WOW
Me too 🥺😢😔😮💨

Same here. Although I wore out my LP but I burned a CD.
I'm 50 growing up listening to her was praying for a full recovery and come back God need her more
A remarkable and memorable talent. Beauty. Voice. Performance. She delivered on each and every note she sang. Pitch Perfect!! Our ears, mind and hearts have been blessed because of her!!
Well, well I am right there with you she was just a Beautiful, Unique talent that impacted my understanding of How beautiful and emotional a song can change and charge our lives. She will truly be Misses 😢.
Beautiful
Imagine the difference for generations....teenagers growing up hearing songs like this compared to what teens have to grow up hearing today...
This is high vibrational music at its finest
I keep tellin'em it ain't the same 😐
There’s no comparison really, this is art, talent, music, spiritual even…. Nothing like this exist today for the most part…..
@Nupedebonaire07 talent in humans does not go away. Angela was a beautiful and talented woman but there are others who exist today that are also beautiful and talented. Don't let nostalgia close your mind. There is some awesome talent out here, seek it out.
I loved growing up in the 70’s 80’s we really had great artists and music

Anyone can study music theory and learn to play instruments, etc. but at the end of the day it's a matter of having "it". Either you have it or you don't and she certainly had it.
I remember if correctly seeing her LP on the wall of Manhattan School of Music when I wanted to study music back in the day,she is one of the greats
Thank you
And she wasn’t a thot. That’s why her career never went anywhere.
Angela Bofill’s music was the soundtrack to my 20’s. I’m 63 now. Heartbroken!
Grew up listening to her music back in high school.
All these years later - this song still makes me cry.
Me too , I was five years old when this came out in 1979.
You are never lying about that
I'm crying now hearing it live for the first time.
Yes indeed
Yes... You get it .. this song is too deep
I want to live one day of the eighties again, I would fill it with the music of Angela Bofill, Phyllis Hyman, Stephanie Mills, Jean Carne, Aretha, Whitney, Mariah, Dionne, Patti Austin and Labelle, Anita Baker, Donna Summer, Diana Ross, Janet, Roberta Flack, Chaka Kahn, and of course, Luther. That is when music was music. Sadly, the millennials, will never see these people perform live and in their prime, and a lot of us have. "So who's zooming who?"
I was only a kid when Luther died. But I always knew how powerful his voice was, there has never been a man to match his voice since then!!
I get it, you are young, kidding. I listed how much I enjoy a lot of women's voices and that is what I liked about Luther's voice, it was honey toned and beautiful. I never thought about his power, but you are right. @@newera5238
I was born in 1995 so I was introduced to this music.
Facts
It was the best of times! So much talent unlike today. :(
I came here when I found out she has passed. This is my favourite song by Angela Bofill. Rest In Peace 🙏🏾🕊️🤍
Mine favorite nalso😊😅😅🎉🎉❤❤ We will miss bher elegance, talent and Bright light 😊😅😢🎉❤

Effortless!!! No lip syncing.. no filters back then
No. You had to sign and she could sing
Damn!!!!
True Beauty and Talent
Her voice is actually as beautiful as she is!!
What a beautiful voice and beautiful woman!!!
I loved this song for decades and this is the first time I heard her sing it live. My eyes and mouth were wide open in awe of her flawless live rendition and her beauty.
indeed bro.. same here..
A beautiful lady who sang beautifully. Rest in peace, Angela Bofill, 1954-2024.
My absolutely favorite jazz vocalist of the 1980s. Angela's gifts were remarkable. She would take your soul on a journey into the depth of the song. I kept this song on repeat for hours and never let go. Rest in peace, precious. You blessed us immensely.
My mom use to play her music, I’m 52 now and still listen from time to time, she will be greatly missed.
😔I so miss that era in life and music...i never realised how good we had it😮💨
Rest in Peace our Puerto Rican/Cuban princess. You WERE good enough. 🇺🇸 🇵🇷 🇨🇺 ❤
DAMN, DAMN, DAMN!!! Angela SANG this song to the 100th degree!!!
RIP Angela Bofill!!!
💕😮
Her voice was rich, powerful and clean. She had perfect pitch, octive and range. Almost unreal. Most artist have to lipsinc through a performance like this. There will never be another.
Yessssss💖🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵
Don't leave out patti Labelle she too hits it extremely well while live on television.
You know she’s still alive right?
Right , this woman can SANG , you hear me ??!!
YES!!
I can listen to Angela Bofill sing this song again and again, God bless Angela...
This performance should have made her a superstar…a household name… brilliant performance..BRAVO
Just stunning. Beautiful voice, incredible looks, timeless class and sophistication. She was memorizing. RIP
1-26-24 I finally heard this song in 2024. Angela sounds good live. 😍 🎶
She truly had a beautiful voice. R.I.P. Angela Bofill.
Angela had a concert at Zellerbach Hall on the U.C. Berkeley Campus back in 1982. For some strange reason, I brought my copy of her "Something About You" album with me to the concert.

Wow amazing, did you take a photo.... she was so beautiful
Awww. Love it. She and Narada were a powerhouse combination. Brilliant.
What an experience and story.
jahawk7 That was a very good experience to you, and very good memories for you! I also like her songs and I live in South Asia.
Thanks for sharing!
Sorry about the late comment.
Lucky you!! You met Angie & Narada!! You were truly blessed!!
Still one of my all time favorite songs 💯
*Goosebumps* The Tonality! The Sensuality! The scatting! The Artistry! A-Level performance! *Goosebumps!!!*
You can tell Johnny Carson really appreciated and was moved by this spectacular performance...
Absolutely! He was glowing!😊
I said the same thing... the way he yelled out "Oh Yeah?!!"
Just when I had started listening to more of Angela Bofill's songs after her unfortunate passing...and then I hear this vocal masterpiece!

She's a legend with golden voice. Rest in peace 🕊️
She has so much stage presence.. and you can actually understand what she is singing! 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾
Back when singers were actually better than the recordings...Everything about her is stunning
I try is one of the greatest songs ever …. It’s impossible to not feel something when that song is on…. RIP this song is literally perfect
Breathtaking, both her beauty and her voice.
Crying my eyes out. She was truly The Angel of The Night
I was 17 in 1980 and a rock and roll bass playing white kid. She changed that; the first two albums hooked me. Saw her several times in San Francisco and Berkeley and was blown away.

Beautifully stated ❤️
Beautiful Lady. Out of this world voice.❤😮
LORD JESUS this is real singing And music..
She's singing about a man whom we would now recognize as having NPD, narcissist personality disorder unknown in the '80's but now seen as a plague of highly manipulative people in the love arena breaking hearts just to get attention. She describes this disorder exactly from the victims perspective. That said this was my favorite song as a teenager, she's so powerful and real.
😢I was thinking the same thing
Y'all love using that word. She ain't singing about a narcissist 😂
Her 1983 R&B hit single "Too Tough" in that song she's talking about a narcissist.
I also recognized that through this song. It wasn't until well into the 2000s that I learned about narcissism.
Thank you Angela for blessing us with such a beautiful angelic voice! You’ll be missed❤
Angela puts on a master’s class on how to be a professional singer with impeccable control, my goodness what a talent.
One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite artists of the 1970s and 80s - this song expresses such a vulnerable emotion of being unappreciated. I hope Ms. Bofill knows how deeply we appreciate her talent.
