Columbia-born soul icon Angie Stone dies at 63 after early morning crash
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - Columbia-born singer, songwriter, actress, and record producer Angie Stone has died at the age of 63.
Stone’s manager Deborah Champagne confirmed to WSFA 12 News she and other crew members were leaving a performance in Montgomery County when their vehicle got involved in a crash early Saturday morning.
According to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, the crash happened just before 7 a.m. and blocked the left northbound lane and the left southbound lanes of Interstate 65
Authorites say the crash also involved a commercial vehicle.
According to officials, Stone was scheduled to perform at the CIAA Basketball Tournament in Baltimore Saturday afternoon.
Angie Stone, whose full name is Angela Laverne Brown, was born in Columbia on December 18, 1961. Stone began singing gospel music at First Nazareth Baptist Church, before forming the rap trio The Sequence at 16 years old.
They were the second rap group signed to the iconic Sugar Hill Records after auditioning for “Mother of Hip-Hop” Sylvia Robinson at a Sugar Hill Gang concert in South Carolina.
In the early 1990s, Stone became a member of the R&B trio Vertical Hold, then signed with Arista Records to release her debut solo album Black Diamond in 1999. The album received gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
Stone was a force in the music industry behind the scenes as well. She shared songwriting credits on R&B singer D’Angelo‘s first two studio albums, Brown Sugar (1995) and Voodoo (2000), and was a backup vocalist on tour with him. The two also share a son together.
Stone was nominated for three Grammy Awards, and won two Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards.
In 2021, she received the Soul Music Icon Award at the Black Music Honors. In 2024, she was a featured vocalist on Damon Little’s “No Stressing”, which peaked at #1 on Billboard’s Gospel Airplay chart.
Isadore B.Sims, President of the Mobile Area Mardi Gras Association, sent out a statement regarding Stone’s death. The singer performed at the organization’s Grand Marshall Ball Friday night before heading to Baltimore:
“It is with deepest sympathy that we express our condolences to the Stone family during this difficult time. We were truly saddened to hear of Angie’s passing and our hearts go out to you all.
Angie’s performance at the 2025 Grand Marshal’s Ball was nothing short of phenomenal. Her talent captivated everyone in attendance, and her presence truly elevated the event. Never could we have imagined that it would be the last time we would have the honor of witnessing her perform. The news of her passing has left us all deeply saddened, and we will always cherish the memories of her incredible talent and warm spirit.
During this time of bereavement, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with Angie’s family and loved ones. May you find comfort and strength in the loving memories you shared with her, and may her legacy continue to inspire all those who were fortunate enough to have known her."
Man, this one really hurts!!..RIP to The Soulful and Icon Angie Stone!!..She was a true legend in R&B and in Music in general!!...She will be missed!!..
RIP to my SC home native!!...You will be missed!!
Oh wow! That's crazy. Man, you truly never know when your ticket gonna get punched. She probably woke up this morning, doing her daily routine, getting ready to perform at some event, then out of nowhere, her life was cut short. R.I.P to a neo-soul icon. Damn!
R.I.P. sista 
Man, I feel like this should be a conversation for another thread. But I get the insinuation.
This is the wild shit that shows how easily a conversation can be conflated and thrown off course......
I'm all for F the major record companies... but it's not UMGs fault that the label you signed to or the people you hired didn't fill out the paperwork correctly for you to.get paid. UMG was probably just the distributor, they don't register your songs for you. Or am I wrong?
What record label is going to say to itself, "Man we made too much money this/last year. How can we make sure to give more of it back to the artists?"
That's why it's important to make sure the people you hire or sign to are competent. This isn't a beef that should be directed at UMG, because Sony and WB would and have done the same thing. She needs that smoke for whatever team/label she had early on. Now I'm not sure what/ if theres any limitations on how far back she can go to collect. But with the proper paperwork now being filed and a decent legal team she should be able to get a large chunk if not all of her money.
Now with her passing, sadly this will be a fight for her estate/ family.

That’s part of the reason that I love her so much. When it was more profitable to make toxic music shittin on men, she didn't fall for the bullshit
