A little bit of Angie Bofill




Not the greatest quality video (and it abruptly ends before it's done) but I'd never heard her sing this live and she did a beautiful job.

    Oh Norma, I'm so glad to know you!

    The Kabuki and I were just talking about this the other day. When I was a baby gayling, he introduced me to this album; it had just come out. I have very distinct and very fond memories of sitting in the bedroom of the row house on Capital Hill that he was living in, and being mesmerized by the whole record but particularly this song.

    I went out and bought it for myself and my dad (a big band man till the end) loved it too and used to ask me to play it for him!

    Funny, I was listening to "This Time I'll Be Sweeter" and (my favorite Angie song) "Break it to Me Gently" the other day in the car, after not thinking about Ms. Bofill in a long, long time. We all must be on the same psychic wavelength.

    Gorgeous voice, lovely woman... she's been in very, very bad health recently, having suffered multiple strokes.
