R&B and soul singer Angie Stone, known for her hit song “Wish I Didn’t Miss You,” passed away in a car accident this morning while traveling from Alabama, as reported by TMZ. She was 63 years old.

Born in Columbia, South Carolina in 1961, Stone gained fame in the late 1970s as a member of the hip-hop trio the Sequence, alongside Cheryl “The Pearl” Cook and Gwendolyn “Blondie” Chisolm. Their 1980 hit “Funk You Up” catapulted them to international recognition. In the 1990s, she joined the R&B trio Vertical Hold. Her debut solo album, Black Diamond, was released in 1999 and featured the hit single “No More Rain (In This Cloud).” Her subsequent album, Mahogany Soul, showcased her most iconic song, “Wish I Didn’t Miss You.” In 2007, The Art of Love & War achieved her first #1 status on the Billboard top R&B/hip-hop albums chart.

Beyond her music career, Stone ventured into acting in the 2000s. She made her film debut in the 2002 comedy movie The Hot Chick and later showcased her talents on Broadway in the musical Chicago.
