A celebrated Grammy-nominated singer, Angie Stone has tragically passed away at the age of 63 in a fatal car crash.
After performing in Mobile, Alabama on Friday, Stone was with nine people traveling to Atlanta, Georgia in a Sprinter van when the vehicle flipped over and was subsequently hit by a big rig.
Her death has shocked fans and the music community, as she was known for her soulful voice and hits like No More Rain (In This Cloud) and Wish I Didn’t Miss You.
Stone’s legacy as a pioneer in the R&B genre will be remembered, and tributes are pouring in from fans and fellow artists alike, highlighting her impact on music and culture.
Born in Columbia, South Carolina, Stone’s four-decade career in entertainment began in the late ’70s as a member of The Sequence, a pioneering female rap group behind the hit Funk You Up.
She later moved on to neo-soul and R&B music as a solo artist with albums including Black Diamond in 1999 and Mahogany Soul in 2001.
She was nominated for her first Grammy for a track off “Mahogany Soul” titled “More Than a Woman” in the best R&B performance by a duo or group with vocal category.
In 2004, her track “U-Haul” – off her third solo album “Stone Love” – was nominated for best female R&B vocal performance.
Her final Grammy nod came in 2007 for her song “Baby,” off her fourth solo album “The Art of Love & War.”
