My Take
Angela Bofill's voice is, to me, one of the great underappreciated instruments of late-twentieth-century American music. A Bronx native who studied at Hunter College High School, she bridged jazz and soul with a warmth that songs like "I Try," "Angel of the Night," and "This Time I'll Be Sweeter" still carry effortlessly. A career spanning more than four decades speaks to genuine artistry, not trend-chasing. Learning that she returned to the stage after a stroke only deepens my respect for her resolve. She passed in 2024, but recordings like hers do not fade; they keep company with you in the quiet hours.
