Description
SoulMusic Records is very proud to present “I Try: The Anthology, 1978-1993,” a 2-CD set of charted singles, key album cuts and guest appearances from the inimitable singer/songwriter Angela Bofill, spanning the most prominent period of her recording career. •A native New Yorker, Angela became the second artist signed to GRP Records, formed by producers Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen in 1978: her debut LP, “Angie” heralded the arrival of one of the mainstay ‘voices’ in the burgeoning ‘quiet storm’ radio format in the US thanks to tracks such as ‘Under The Moon And Over The Sky’ and ‘This Time I’ll Be Sweeter’, the first of a dozen charted singles included on this first-of-its-kind anthology of Angela’s much-loved work. •Angela’s sophomore album, “Angel Of The Night” proved even more successful thanks to the title track and the now-timeless classic ‘I Try’, both staples of Angela’s live repertoire. Switching to Arista Records in 1981, Angela began working with label chief Clive Davis, resulting in another five best-selling albums from which came her biggest charted hits, including ‘Too Tough’ and ‘Tonight I Give In’.
