Cheryl “The Pearl” Cook and Gwendolyn “Blondie” Chisolm, Angie Stone Crew Member are confirmed Dead

The vocalist was leaving a performance on Saturday morning in Montgomery, Alabama before the tragic accident, a rep for the late singer told the publication. Further details were not provided.

The group dropped three albums during their time together between 1979 and 1985 … and dropped their song “Funk You Up,” which has been sampled in numerous other tracks over the years like Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk” and Dr. Dre’s “Keep Their Heads Ringin’.”

Angie embarked on a solo career in the late 1990s … and, her debut album “Black Diamond” went gold in the U.S. Two years later she released “Wish I Didn’t Miss You” … one of her most popular songs ever.

Angie later made the jump to film appearing in movies like “The Hot Chick” and the Kevin Hart comedy “Ride Along.”

We last caught up to Angie back in 2018 when she talked about younger artists needing to show some respect to previous generations … watch the video for yourself.

We have reached out to Montgomery authorities for more information on the crash … so far, no word back.

Angie is survived by her son Michael, daughter Diamond and 2 grandkids.
