I would like to believe that I'm a student & teacher of life. At the beginning of 2007, I relocated from NYC to Charlotte, NC. I've written 4 books of poetry and have just completed my 1st novel. I would like to believe that my life experience may be able to educate others by seeing the world thru my eyes. There's always a point of view, & I'd like to add my flavor. I'm an extremely private person, however, I believe that I can speak for the voices that need to be heard. R&B and jazz Diva who sang, "I'm On Your Side", needs your help. I'm sure that many of you have heard that Ms. Bofill suffered two strokes. One stroke on January 10, 2006 and a second stroke on July 10, 2007.

Unfortunately, Angela did not have medical coverage. According to her support team, medical and physical cost are mounting up. She has a long road ahead of her as she's paralyzed on her left side. The good life can be wonderful and a lot of us in good health don't realize how that can change with a blink of an eye.
There was a benefit in her honor and the amount received totaled $49,805.00. Sadly this is not enough and its extremely expensive for speech and physical therapy plus her normal living expenses.
For those of you, who don't know Angela's music, you are in for a treat. If you like Phyllis Hyman or Anita Baker, you will love Angela. Now for the old school brothers and sisters, you know Angela's music. I'm sure a lot of you have her albums. Lets move forward to a new day, replace the albums for CDs. Most of her music has been re-issued on CD.
Raised in the Bronx, New York City with a father who's Cuban and a Puerto Rican mother, coming from this kind of background, Angela was introduced many different kinds of music. During her teenage years she began singing professionally, as she was a featured lead soloist for the Dance Theater of Harlem. Her unique and distinctive alto style earned her 6 albums in the top 40. Her signature songs are "I Try" and "I'm On Your Side."

Angela Bofill, who suffered a massive stroke last year, has a message she wants to get out to everyone: "Watch your stress level." (Jet, Feb. 20, 2006)
The 52-year-old singer says she believes stress contributed to her massive stroke last year (Jet, Feb. 20, 2006). "Don't stress out. That's what got me," she says. "It's not worth it, whatever the problem is, it's not worth losing your health."
The singer, whose hits include I Try, This Time I'll Be Sweeter and Angel of the Night, says she was working too hard. "I was traveling a lot, every weekend I had a gig, and then I was trying to sell my house. There was just a lot going on at the same time." (Jet, Feb. 20, 2006)
Angela is now living with her mother as she continues to recovery and is walking with a cane.
