Angela Bofill Musical artist
Angela Bofill (born on May 2, 1954 in The Bronx) is an American R&B vocalist and songwriter. Bofill was born to a Cuban father and a Puerto Rican mother; one of the first Latina singers to find success in the R&B market. She performed with Ricardo Marrero & the Group and Dance Theater of Harlem chorus prior to her 1978 debut album, Angie. She scored several dance hits such as "Angel Of The Night," "Something About You," "Holdin' Out for Love," and "Too Tough. " However, she is probably best known for her ballad "This Time I'll Be Sweeter" and her signature tune, "I Try", which was later covered in 1991 by Will Downing. In the early 1980s, she recorded You're A Special Part Of Me, a duet with romantic balladeer Johnny Mathis. Her 1983 album "Teaser" featured the Top 20 R&B chart hit "I'm On Your Side," which also became a hit for Jennifer Holliday in 1991.
