Portrait by artist @nettiebeatrice
I'm so grateful I got to see "The Angela Bofill Experience" at the Blue Note back in 2011. While she's probably best known for the singles "I Try," "I'm On Your Side," "This Time I'll Be Sweeter," and "Angel Of The Night,"
"Under The Moon and Over The Sky" is my favorite.
Sending condolences to her family, friends, loved ones and fans.
'Like the wings of a bird
My heart soaring way up high
Under the moon and over the sky
A man and a women
A love that could never die
Under the moon and over the sky
The universe is waiting for you
To live a life
That's happy and free
Let's all go out
And reach for the sun
Happiness and love could be for everyone
If we just try a little harder
Like the wings of a bird
My heart soaring way up high
Under the moon and over the sky
Under the moon and over the sky
Under the moon and over the sky
Under the moon and over the sky"

Angela Bofill, the singer-songwriter behind hits “I Try,” “This Time I’ll Be Sweeter” and “I’m On Your Side,” has died. She was 70.
The Cuban-Puerto Rican musician died on Thursday at her daughter’s home in Vallejo, California, her friend and rep Rich Engel told People. A cause of death was not immediately available...
Angela Tomasa Bofill was born on May 2, 1954, in Brooklyn, to a Cuban father and Puerto Rican mother. As a teen, she sang in New York City’s All City Chorus, which featured the best singers from all high schools in the five boroughs. She received a bachelor of music degree from the Manhattan School of Music before beginning her professional career in the 1970s.
In 1978, she was signed by GRP Records and released her first album, Angie, which was received well by critics and fans. It included one of her most iconic hits, “This Time I’ll Be Sweeter,” and the jazz composition, “Under the Moon and Over the Sky.”
