Angela Bofill (BEST) The Lost TV Interview: Gary Baca TV Exclusive

- God allowed me to meet and greet many artists like the super sweet Angela Bofill.
To Angie, I just wanna say the "Angela Bofill Experience" at Yoshis Oakland was great!
I met Angie during an interview on my 1991 KPFA Berkeley radio show. She was performing at Kimball's an intimate small night club off of Claremont Ave in the middle of Oakland. I also requested an interview for a small cable access TV show called "New World Music Videos" in San Francisco with studios off of Mission St. She would rather come down to the TV station for the interview than be on the phone. After our first interview, I knew Angie was super cool and we became friends. Needless to say...I am forever grateful to Angie for doing this TV appearance with us.
Angela was born in Brooklyn, New York to a Cuban father and a Puerto Rican mother. She grew up listening to Latin music and was also inspired by African-American performers. Her weekends were taken up studying classical music and singing in a city chorus. It was as a teenager that her professional singing began.
She performed with Ricardo Marrero & the Group and Dance Theater of Harlem chorus before being introduced to Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen of the jazz label GRP Records by Dave Valentin, her friend and jazz flutist. Grusin and Rosen signed Bofill and produced her first album, Angie, in 1978. Angie was well received both critically and commercially and included the chart single "This Time I'll Be Sweeter" (co-written by Gwen Guthrie and Haras Fyre), and Bofill's sprawling jazz composition, "Under the Moon and Over the Sky".
Less than a year later, a second album, Angel of the Night was released and outperformed its predecessor. The album included the chart singles "What I Wouldn't Do (For the Love of You)" and the up tempo title track, as well as the song "I Try", written by Bofill and covered by Will Downing in 1991. The reception of these albums positioned Bofill as one of the first Latina singers to find success in the R&B and jazz markets.
Clive Davis, the head of Arista Records, showed interest in Bofill. Arista had a distribution deal with GRP. Bofill switched labels for her next album, Something About You (1981). Produced by Narada Michael Walden, the album was an attempt to move Bofill into mainstream R&B and pop music. It didn't perform as well as previous releases, despite the singles "Holdin' Out for Love" and the title track, which both reached the R&B Top 40.
The following year, she and Walden reunited for Too Tough. The title song reached No. 5 on the R&B chart and spent four weeks at No. 2 on the Dance chart. A follow-up single, "Tonight I Give In", reached the Top 20. Several months later, Bofill released her final collaboration with Walden, Teaser. The album failed to match the success of Too Tough but did produce one Top 20 R&B hit, "I'm On Your Side," which has been covered by several artists, most notably Jennifer Holliday, who had a Top 10 hit with it in 1991. Bofill is recovering from a stroke she had in January 10, 2006
THIS IS 4 U ANGIE!
Wee Love U

Rest in Paradise. No more pain. Divine Feminine Angela Bofill
RIP Angela Bofill. My condolences to your family.
⭐⭐⭐Miss Angela Bofill ⭐⭐⭐
May you 🏝 Rest In Paradise 🏝
The Angels are with you.
I've been a fan since 1980.
I'm playing your catalog all week paying homage to one of our great voices in the last 45 years. You, Dave Valentin and Phyllis Hyman are gonna have a ball in heaven. 🙂
Take your rest my beautiful princess! 😢❤
REST IN PARADISE MS BOFILL
❤I loved Angela Bofill she should have gotten more recognition.
She sure should have, what a talent!
Well Both Phyllis Hyman And Angela Were Signed By Clive Davis And Dropped By Davis As Well... Says A lot The Industry
She did get it…at the time!
Funny we always say that about artists. What do people really want for them? They make decent money literally doing what they love. It’s rare for us common folks.
People know her name around the world. That amounts to something!
@@thatbemefoolI disagree, she did not ‘get it’ …and when people say that what they (we) mean is she was a much better artist/talent than others who have/ had longevity and were well paid. They had to collect money for her when she had those strokes, because she did not make a load of money like other less talented people. I realize these type of arguments are based on who people choose to support but a LOT of times it’s a marketing decision by record labels to prop/hype up who they feel will be more successful. I honestly think they didn’t know how to market her, should they have focused more on the black community, Latino, public at large? At any rate it’s neither here nor there now…may she rest in peace.
@@racourdavAgree with You. 🙏🏼Angie
So sorry to hear of the passing of this beautiful angel. I've been a fan since she hit the music scene. Truly had a gift. RIP Angela.
Angela is a stellar singer and songwriter. She deserved way more recognition.
She wrote I Try at age 16??? Wow! Amazing woman
Ikr …didn’t know she wrote it too.
That voice. And she's SO beautiful. I see why MJ got that kiss ❤
YES I THOUGHT SHE WAS GONNA PASS OUT WHEN HE KISSED HER IT WAS SO CUTE SIP MJ AND ANGELA
I would've shot my shot also. She's gorgeous.
I will miss her beautiful voice 😢
MAY SHE REST IN PARADISE IM FROM NYC IVE BEEN IN TEARS ALL DAY LISTENING TO HER IM 65 AND SHE WAS THE VOICE BACK THEN
We all love you forever, upon the legacy that you left behind... The prolific songbird. R.I.P ❤ 2024🎶🎶🎶🕛
I had a stroke and I'm soooo glad and proud of her that she's singing again. She got her speech back. I love you Angela, girl❤❤❤
Woah! She's recovered?! i'm so happy!!!
Sadly, Angela is unable to sing anymore, or speak very well anymore. I still hold to Hope. Miracles happen...

One of the most versatile singers ever.We need to recognize people like her Phyllis Hyman ( R.I.P), Angela Winbush, Stephanie Mills and so many others who have been forgotten but were supremely talented 💐 💐 💐 🌹 🌹 🌹
You named the absolute best singers in my lifetime. Angela Bofill is my favorite singer
You are💯percent right!!!
These ladies are not forgotten best believe!
Thank you for sharing this video. I love her voice and her music.
I am so happy to say I saw her live. Angela, Najee, Will D, and Jonathan Butler all together.
A wonderful lineup that is! RIP to Angela!
Her voice and face really makes one feel great!
RIP ❤Angel Angela ❤
My biggest regret is never seeing her live. The song "Rainbow Child" still brings tears to my eyes.
Incredibly powerful voice on stage, and she liked to joke with her audience. I recorded a live show (audio only) ill post soon. Thanks for watching and please do subscribe. Thanks
Angela Bofill was on Johnny Carson years ago singing I Try, she kicked that song put with class and grace, love this lady singing!!!❤
Its on RUclips
Angela was sooooo beautiful 🥰
And that voice and her songs were so beautiful. ❤
Singer, songwriter, drummer, and she can scat too. Incredible artist. So underrated.
We love you Ms. Bofill.
Love her and her music. Praying for her beautiful family
One of the most underrated female vocalists of the 20th century...
She isnt dead, though...
Yes she is not dead, yet HIGHLY underrated!
She has such a sweet face and soul praying for her she recently passed May God be with her and us all we are unworthy of his grace but he gives it to us none the less
Love you forever Ms. Angela Bofill. Rest In Paradise
I love Angela Bofill ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. She's great.
R.I.P. Angel.... Angela Bofill
You can spot a professional musician when you see one. Angie is one, a great one.
Narada Michael Walden and George Duke were her best producers. I love me some Angie. Her voice/vocals are very recognizable. No one sounds like her.
I miss her making record albums. I'm fortunate to have her music catalog
(and play it often) including the song she collaborated with the late great Flutist Dave Valentin (Angie's connection on getting a record deal). There were 2 songs Angie and Dave Valentin collaborated with which are "We'll Make Love" (circa 1979) and
"Can't Change My Heart" (circa 1986).
💙💙💙💙💙🙏🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙💙💙
I can't believe this woman did not become a bigger star in her day. She is my favorite. I saw her in concert many years ago and she blew me away. She is a trained singer who was blessed with phenomenal vocals. Someone like Beyonce becomes so famous and to me she is nothing compared to Angel Bofill.
❤ I totally agree!!
❤I agree beyonce ain't got nothing on my Angela Bofil
No comparison to me different generations.😊
Beyoncé & Mary j voices are garbage
Idk, Beyoncé is pretty good too!
R.I.P 🙏🏽😥 Angela Bofill
I was saddened by her recent demise...😭 She is very famous here in the Philippines... ❤️ We adore her here, ❤️ i grew up with her songs... May her soul rest in peace ❤️ I love you Angela ❤️❤️❤️
She is sweet genuine and a pure soul❤
I'm not a bit surprised that Angie is so engaging and so down to earth. My best friend in my head. Rest In Heavenly Peace, Angel Of The Night.💛
I adored her...that Angie album (1st release) is my absolute favorite. RIP Angela
Lovely Lady ❤
cant believe latinos never speak on her, she was a amazing latin soul artist !
Yes she was!!!
Rest beautiful one, you will certainly be missed and we loved you. You made your mark in the world of music, and gave us much food for thought with your soulful , beautiful , very skillful talent.
Rest in peace beautiful.....one of my faves growing up
Rest in paradise beautiful lady 🙏
Not only is her voice beautiful she is a goddess! Stunning!
ANGELA HAVE ONE OF THE BEST VOICES I'VE HEARD LISTEN TO UNDER THE MOON AND OVER THE SKY
RIP Angela, one of my favorite singers!😥
*Angela Bofill we miss you*
Rest in Power 🌹
Redt in Paradise 🌺
Rest in Eternal Peace 🕊️ 🕊️ 🕊️
Angela Bofill was so long ved and always cherished in the Black American Community.🌹
During the early days, her Latin Heritage was not openly expressed inside the Black American Community.
Angela Bofill and Phyllis Hyman were close musically and in friendship
She was so underrated! A great talent. I heard “I try” in 81-82 on the radio in Miami. 🔥Then I heard “I’m on your side” I was hooked! I saw how they loved her overseas, especially the Philippines. I saw more of her albums over there.
I love Angela Bofill. What a beautiful talented soul.
I am so happy she regained her voice. Her ballads are second to none.
So happy to see some interviews of this powerhouse legend
I saw her several times at Kimball's East in Emeryville and also at Yoshi's. She was a great live performer and as sweet as she appears in this interview. She was ALWAYS appreciative of her audience.
Im from Philippines I really love Angela Bofill
Love from California
Another Angel got her wings! RIP Angela Bofill 🙏🕊💐🕊🙏🎶
God bless her forever 🙏
Angela has a special place in my heart. 😊
I remember seeing her as a very young child in Chicago. There was this thing called Chicago Fest and she performed at Soldier Field. I had to be under 8. But I remember it as clear as day
She is so beautiful and talented woman ❤
My all time FAVE Female singer! Loved her since her first album! I know Phyllis is giving her a welcome back home Hug in Heaven!🥺
2 of my most favorite singers
Love this song
Shuler King brought me here. I'd never heard of this beauty 😍
I had never heard of Angela either until December 2020. All this beautiful music just melted me into a higher realm. Sometimes I get angry that I have missed out on five decades of her music because the local radio stations never played her music. I'm playing catch-up with these great videos, and music streaming services. Yes!
Angela Bofill was a baaaad Singer, yet humble,and funny back in the 70's & 80's until she had a major stroke.
Check her story out on Unsung.
RIH Angela Bofill. My childhood favorite.
Tropical Love & Only Love brings tears 😢to my eyes play over & over again and look up to the sky like I can get in touch with God or think about my love ones not here anymore. Angela Bofill gets the best of me.
A time when they "Sat So Close to Guest during interviews"😁😁😁😁
This is the first time I’ve seen anyone interview Angela Bofill. It’s so funny because she has a lot of the same mannerisms that my cousin has so she reminds me of her. R.I.P. Ms. Bofill.
I was fortunate enough to see her live 3 or 4 times and shake her hand once, since I made it a point to see her whenever she was in town. May she R.I.P.
So fortunate. Must have been beautiful🌟✨
I love Angela Bofill.
A national treasure ❤
I’m so sorry to learn of the passing of Angela Bofill the family have my deepest condolences🕊🌸🙏🏽
Rest in peace angela Bofill🙏🙏🙏

I grew up listening to and loving Angela Bofill. Her voice and her music were transcendent and she deserved so much more than she got out of life. And it has to be said that this interview was a hot mess.
