This is one of my jams, and it doesn't hurt that it samples Gladys Knight. I agree she is certainly a talent, and worth admiring.
Angie Stone is the BIZNESS!
Wonderful, excellent, beautiful choice...Betty Wright ain't so bad either (she gets regular rotation on my mp3).
I didn't know her background ... but, I love the vibe of her voice and the song you shared with us. Betty Wright is one of my all-time favorites ... so it sez alot about who she is to know she had a duet with Sis. Wright!

First time I have heard of Angela. I like this slow jam and enjoyed her style.
I agree w/MsMarv.. Ange is mos definitely da bizness! LOL It's funny cause as I go around and view you guys' picks, I see that many of these singers have sang with my man Prince. Yeah, he's got good taste.
I love this song!! Great choice!
Happy OSF!
This was a very nice choice, particularly for the reasons you've stated. I have loved Angie from the very first album. Have all of them. I don't think she's gotten the recognition she deserves. People started to take notice when Brotha came out though.
This is one of my favorite songs by her, "What goes around comes around, what goes up must come down."
