Angie Stone

Neo-soul singer Angie Stone, from Columbia, South Carolina, got her first bit of major exposure as one third of the trio Vertical Hold. Their 1993 R&B/dance hit “Seems You’re Much Too Busy” reached No.17 on the R&B charts. Stone released her debut solo, Black Diamond, in 1999 with the help of a stellar roster of producers and musicians, including Lenny Kravitz and (ex-boyfriend) D’Angenlo. Billboard magazine named it as their critic’s pick for album of the year. Her 2001 release, Mahogany Soul, also received much critical praise.
