Angela Bofill

Angela Bofill (born on May 2, 1954 in The Bronx) is an American R&B contralto vocalist and songwriter.

Bofill was born to a Cuban father and Puerto Rican mother.

She performed with Ricardo Morrero & the Group and Dance Theater of Harlem chorus prior to her 1978 debut album, Angie.

She scored several dance hits such as "Angel Of The Night," "Something About You," "Holding Out For Love," and "Too Tough." In the early 1980s, she recorded You're A Special Part Of Me, a duet with romantic balladeer Johnny Mathis.

Her 1983 album "Teaser" featured the Top 10 R&B chart hit "I'm On Your Side," which also became a hit for Jennifer Holliday in 1991.

Bofill is one of the first Latina musicians to find success in the R&B market.
