Angie Stone during a live performance — her voice defined a generation of neo-soul. |
Angie Stone (1961–2025: Neo-Soul Voice Gone Too Soon) has passed away at age 63, leaving behind a legacy that reshaped modern soul music. The singer, songwriter, and hip-hop trailblazer died in a tragic car accident on March 1, 2025, while returning to Atlanta from a performance. The fatal crash occurred near Montgomery, Alabama, when the van she was riding in lost control and was hit by a semi-truck. Angie was the only fatality.
Born Angela Laverne Brown in Columbia, South Carolina, Stone began her journey in music as part of the pioneering female rap group The Sequence, best known for the 1979 hit “Funk You Up.” But it was her solo career in the late ’90s that truly etched her name into history.
