If anyone should be called the Queen of neo soul, it should be Angie Stone. We remember, the neo soul Queen, Angie Stone, a talent gone too soon. Angie began her musical career as a member of the first female hip hop trio, The Sequence. The hip hop group performed throughout the United States and had a number of hits that resonated with their fans. The group ultimately disbanded in the 1980s.

Angie continued on her journey performing as a member of other groups such as Vertical Hold and Devox. She worked as a songwriter and backup vocalist for musical acts, Lenny Kravitz and D'Angelo. Stone ventured out to become a solo artist and achieved amazing success in the music industry.

Her solo career spanned decades, releasing memorable hits such as "Brotha" and "No More Rain (In this Cloud).” Ms. Stone sang the theme song for the hit series, Girlfriends. Her albums, Black Diamond and Mahogany Soul were certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. Angie was still performing right up until her untimely loss. She was comfortable in her skin and proudly sported natural texture, kinks and afros. Angie leaves behind two children, Diamond and Michael (Swayvo Twain).

Rest in Peace to a real one, Ms. Angie Stone. Sending prayers, love and well wishes to her family.
