A singer, MC, self-taught keyboardist, and prolific songwriter,
Angie Stone's first claim to fame was her membership in the
Sequence, an all-female trio that recorded for pioneering hip-hop
label Sugar Hill beginning with the 1979 single "Funk You Up."
Several years later, she re-emerged as the lead vocalist for Vertical
Hold, where she scored with the smooth urban dance track
"Seems You're Much Too Busy," a Top 40 R&B hit during the
summer of 1993 that led to very productive solo career. With the
release of her 1999 solo debut, she became one of neo-soul's
leading lights, providing sharp insight into romantic relationships

with her smoky yet upfront voice. Stone subsequently signed to
Arista as a solo artist. Stone subsequently signed to Arista as a
solo artist and recorded 1999's Black Diamond, a Top Ten R&B
album that was certified gold on the strength of the singles "No
More Rain (In This Cloud)" and "Everyday" (one of several songs
she has written either for or with D'Angelo). The album won her a
pair of Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards. She shifted to J for 2001's
Mahogany Soul, another gold seller. Released in 2004, Stone Love
fared just as well commercially, yet she moved to the revitalized
Stax label for her fourth studio album, 2007's The Art of Love &
War. It topped the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and featured two of
her best singles, "Sometimes" and "Baby" -- the latter of which
received a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Performance by a
Duo or Group with Vocals.

GOSPEL CORNER

Cited as one of the most fabulous
young dancers, Sunjai has been
involved in the field since a very
young age. As her mother is a

dancer, the family environment she
grew up in motivated and supported

her a lot to pursue her career in
dancing. Sunjai was around 5 years
old when she first started dancing.
She was so dedicated and passionate

about dancing that she secured
herself a place as a member of
popular dance factory, Jackson
Stepperettes, making her the
youngest of the team. She left the
group after her coach retired and
joined the Dancing Dolls at 12. Her
mother, Selena, is also a member of
the Dancing Dolls and is widely
known for her excellence in tap

dancing and lyrical dancing.
Recently, it has been in the news

that her twin sisters will be
featuring the dance company too in

near future. * Story Derived
