Angie Stone, ‘Wish I Didn’t Miss You’ Singer and Co-Founder of the Sequence, Dies at 63
variety.comSteven J. Horowitz Senior Music Writer Angie Stone, the soul singer who rose to fame as a member of pioneering female hip-hop trio the Sequence and later became a prominent soul singer, died at the age of 63.
Stone died in a car crash in Montgomery, Alabama early Saturday morning. A rep for the singer confirmed to Variety that she was coming from a show with her band members and background singers when her Sprinter turned over.
Stone was the only person who died in the accident. The Grammy-nominated musician was best known for her 2001 hit “Wish I Didn’t Miss You,” a quiet storm soul record carried by her husky, rich vocals and a prominent sample of the O’Jays’ “Backstabbers.” Throughout her career, she released 10 solo albums and was nominated for three Grammys, including best R&B performance by a duo or group with vocals in 2003 and best female R&B vocal performance the following year.
Born in Columbia, South Carolina, Stone got her start in music at 16 as one-third of the Sequence, the first female hip-hop trio signed to Sugar Hill Records.
