I Try - The Anthology 1978-1993
2CD 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, âAngieâ heralded the arrival of one of the mainstay âvoicesâ in the burgeoning âquiet stormâ radio format in the US thanks to tracks such as âUnder The Moon And Over The Skyâ and âThis Time Iâll Be Sweeterâ, the first of a dozen charted singles included on this first-of- its-kind anthology of Angelaâs much-loved work.
Angelaâs sophomore album, Angel Of The Night proved even more successful thanks to the title track and the now- timeless classic âI Tryâ, both staples of Angelaâs 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 âToo Toughâ and âTonight I Give Inâ.
This sumptuous 2-CD lovingly compiled by SoulMusic Recordsâ founder David Nathan (who began conducting interviews with Angela after the release of her debut LP) includes a number of rare tracks such as âAll The Reasons Whyâ, âLove & Marriageâ, âLove Lightâ and âRhythm Of Your Mindâ, all of which were first released between 2002-2007. In addition, the anthology features five stellar guest appearances with artists such as Narada Michael Walden (who produced three of Angelaâs Arista albums), Johnny Mathis, Carl Anderson, Stanley Clarke, Marian Meadows and Kirk Whalum; and tracks from Angelaâs one-off 1993 LP for Jive Records including the title track, âI Wanna Love Somebodyâ.
The superb music on this anthology is augmented by stellar liner notes from renowned US writer, A. Scott Galloway who has included extensive quotes from Angela herself along with comments by producers, songwriters and musicians including Walden, Mic Murphy & David Frank, Preston Glass, Kirk Whalum, Buddy Williams, Eve Nelson, Derek Bramble and others.
