It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Angie Stone, a beloved member of the iconic hip-hop trio The Sequence. The news of her death has shocked and devastated her family and friends.
According to her spokesperson, Stone was involved in a fatal car accident on Saturday morning after a performance in Alabama. Details surrounding the incident have not been disclosed at this time.
The 63-year-old singer rose to fame in 1979 when The Sequence formed in South Carolina, with Stone as the lead vocalist and rapper. Alongside Cheryl Cook and Gwendolyn Chisolm, the group gained recognition for their hit single "Funk You Up", which was later sampled by renowned artists such as Dr Dre and Bruno Mars.
Despite the group's success, Stone embarked on a solo career in the late 1990s, releasing her debut album Black Diamond in 1999. The album featured the popular single "No More Rain" and showcased Stone's incredible vocal range and talent.
In addition to her music career, Stone also dabbled in acting, appearing in films like The Hot Chick and taking on the role of Big Mama Morton in the Broadway musical Chicago.
Throughout her career, Stone received numerous accolades, including three Grammy nominations and two Soul Train Lady of Soul awards. She leaves behind a legacy of groundbreaking music and unforgettable performances.
