Release Notes:
Angela Winbush (born on January 28, 1955 in St. Louis,
Missouri, USA) is an American R&B/soul singer-songwriter and
record producer who rose to fame first as one half of the
eighties R&B duo, Rene & Angela and then later as a solo
artist and collaborator with The Isley Brothers.
Born to a deeply religious family in St. Louis, Angela began
singing in church and though she was a very talented vocalist,
had no intentions of a career in music; instead going to
college at Howard University as an architecture major. All
that changed in 1977, when she was inspired to start a music
career after finding backing to record a demo and promptly
changing her major to music education. Upon completing the
demo project, she tried shopping it to various record labels
with no success until she met record industry veteran, Wayne
K. Garfield (co-writer of "The Glow Of Love" by Luther
Vandross and "All For You" by Janet Jackson) a friend of her
roommate in Washington, D.C., Atty. Louise West. Garfield
contacted New York City deejay, Gary Byrd, (who had been
writing with Stevie Wonder) and recommended Winbush for the
job opening in Wonder's female backing trio, Wonderlove.
Becoming Wonder's protege', she learned a great deal about
writing and arranging songs. Within a year, she formed a bond
with singerRene Moore, whom she had met at Howard. The two
became a couple and also began writing songs together. Forming
Rene & Angela in 1980, the duo released their self-titled
debut album which included the singles "Everything We Do" and
"Do You Love Me". Between Rene & Angela and 1983's Rise, the
duo scored charted singles with "I Love You More", "Imaginary
Playmates", "Banging the Boogie" and their top twenty R&B
ballad, "My First Love", which was the first song to give Rene
& Angela more notice in the R&B community where the song
eventually reached number twelve on the R&B chart.
In turn, Isley opted to manage Winbush and he helped in the
process of releasing her debut solo album, Sharp, which was
also released in 1987. The album included the huge hit,
"Angel", which stayed at number one on the R&B chart for two
weeks in 1987 and showcasing her five and a half octave range.
Other hits include the dance track, "Run to Me", "C'est Toi
(It's You)" and the Ron Isley duet, "Hello Beloved". In 1988,
she wrote and produced two tracks for Sheena Easton's gold
album "The Lover In Me". They were "Without You" and "Fire and
Rain", both of which showcased Easton's lower range and
surprisingly soulful vocals.
