Angela Bofill’s Family Struggles to Fund Memorial, Calls Out Clive Davis

Two months ago, the world of R&B lost a shining star when Angela Bofill passed away at the age of 70. Known for her soulful voice and timeless hits, Bofill’s legacy continues to resonate with fans worldwide. However, her family now faces financial difficulties in organizing a public memorial in her honor.

Angela Bofill’s family recently expressed their frustration on her official Facebook page, revealing their struggle to raise the $25,000 needed for the planned memorial at Rose Hall in New York City, scheduled for late August. Despite their efforts to reach out to various individuals and organizations, they have not been able to gather sufficient funds.

The family’s post also singled out music industry icon Clive Davis for not responding to their calls for help. They wrote, “Unfortunately, we reached out to folks and were not able to raise the 25k needed for the Angela Bofill memorial at Rose Hall NYC., planned for late August. Saddened that Clive Davis elected not to respond. The money collected has been used to reimburse the family for substantial hospital bills. If something changes, we will post.”

The heartfelt message highlights the financial strain caused by substantial hospital bills that Bofill’s family had to cover. They also urged Bofill’s extended Facebook family and fans to lobby the Grammy Awards Foundation for a lifetime achievement award, suggesting this as a way to honor her remarkable contributions to music.

Angela Bofill, whose hits include “This Time I’ll Be Sweeter” and “I Try,” left an indelible mark on the R&B genre. As her family navigates these challenging times, her fans and supporters are encouraged to rally behind them and ensure that Bofill receives the recognition she deserves.The post Angela Bofill’s Family Struggles to Fund Memorial, Calls Out Clive Davis first appeared on The Source.The post Angela Bofill’s Family Struggles to Fund Memorial, Calls Out Clive Davis appeared first on The Source.
