Absolutely stunned to hear that Angie Stone passed away this morning from a car accident at 63.

"U Make My Sunshine" indeed but today is a little cloudier without her here.

Thanks to B.P. for letting me know. Harsh news. 💜💔💜 youtu.be/M8z-fQbYHyE?...

Here is @drewbarrymore taking the Colbert Questionnaire with @stephenathome being asked who her first concert was? Her answer? @prince!! At the age of 7. Colbert's follow up about lyrical content was interesting as well. Enjoy! #PRINCELEGACY #PRINCE4EVER #spicy

I'd imagine IF Prince were still here, he would record his own state song. Kind of like "Purple & Gold"... and that song...oh boy. 🤐

Thoughts...?
