Rest in peace to Angie Stone, born Angela Laverne Brown on 18 December 1961 in Columbia, SC Angie Stone was a Grammy Award-nominated artist. Stone's music possessed a clear old school soul music influence. Fun fact, she started off as a rapper actually, Angie B in the group The Sequence. Still very young but also very ambitious, Stone was ultimately looking for something more. “Rap was just starting to break into the mainstream at that time, and everyone was grabbing onto it,” she recalls. “But I knew early on that I didn’t want to be a rapper all my life, because I had been a singer up to that point.” She tragically died in a car crash on the Interstate 65 in Alabama, March 1st 2025. She lived to be 63 years old. Thank you for your contributions.
