Angie Stone poginula u saobraćajnoj nesreći u 63. godini života!

Ikona soul i R&B muzike vraćala se kući nakon nastupa u Mobilu, Alabama, kada se dogodila nesreća.

Ćerka legendarne soul i R&B pevačice, Diamond, objavila je tu vest na Facebooku prošle subote, 1. marta. Prema Varietyju, Stone je poginula u saobraćajnoj nesreći vraćajući se kući sa nastupa u Mobilu, Alabama, ranije tog dana. Bila je jedina osoba koja je stradala u nesreći.

Rođena u Kolumbiji, Južna Karolina, 1961. godine, Stone je postala poznata kao članica revolucionarne ženske hip-hop grupe The Sequence kao tinejdžerka krajem 70-ih. Trio je postigao hit sa trakom „Funk You Up,“ koju su kasnije uzorkovali Dr. Dre i Bruno Mars.

Kada se The Sequence raspao 1985. godine, Stone je radila sa Mantronixom, pridružila se R&B grupi Vertical Hold, pisala trake za prva dva albuma D’Angela i snimala vokale sa Lennijem Kravicem. Njen veliki proboj dogodio se objavljivanjem njenog debitantskog solo albuma Black Diamond (nazvanog po njenoj ćerki), koji je ušao u prvih deset na top listi US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums 1999. godine.

Njen drugi solo album, Mahogany Soul, sadržao je singl „Wish I Didn’t Miss You,“ koji je postao njen najveći međunarodni hit. Takođe, bio je poslednja traka koja je puštana u legendarnom klubu Space na Ibici, kada ju je Carl Cox vrteo 2016. godine.

Stone je snimila još osam albuma, a najnoviji je bio Love Language iz 2023. godine. Nastavila je da ide na turneje, bila je nominovana za tri Grammy nagrade i radila je kao glumica.

Losing Angie Stone is such a loss for R&B. She covered “Holding Back The Years” for the Love and Basketball soundtrack so well, I thought the song was hers. Praying for her family 🙏🏾https://t.co/n4839hGqCu

Many of us knew Angie Stone as a soulstress but she also recorded the first original rap record from a female group with The Sequence. RIP Angie Stone pic.twitter.com/DvbFKdvJ50
