Great people in the music industry just keep passing away. A few weeks ago, it was David Sanborn and now it's Angela Bofill. I grew up listening to Angela Bofill's music in Detroit mainly on the defunct station WJZZ. She was so talented and never really got the audience or the kudos she deserved. It annoys me when "singers" who can't sing or have a limited vocal range often get pushed to mega-star status while truly talented singers like Angela Bofill, Phyllis Hyman, and Chante Moore are given the short shrift. I understand the music industry (especially these days) is more than just a great voice. You have to have a marketable persona to get fans and fame, but it still angers me that true talent is so often overlooked.
RIP, Angela Bofill.
