Angie Stone

Angie Stone (born Angela Laverne Brown on 18 December 1961 in Columbia, SC, United States; died 2 March 2025 near Montgomery, AL, United States) was a Grammy Award-nominated American R&B, hip-hop and neo-soul singer and actress. Stone's music possessed a clear old school soul music influence, and her singing vocals recall those of Aretha Franklin. She tragically died in a car crash on the Interstate 65 in Alabama, aged 63. In the early 1980s, Stone (as Angie B), was a member of The Sequence, the first major female hip-hop group.
