アンジェラ・ウィンブッシュ (Angela Winbush)

Angela Winbush
Angela Winbush (born on January 28, 1955) is an American R&B/soul singer-songwriter who rose to fame first in the 1980s R&B duo René & Angela, also scoring hits as a solo artist. During her career, Winbush has sold ten million albums and singles worldwide, and has had twenty Top Forty R&B singles and three number one R&B singles.

Born to a deeply religious family in St. Louis, Missouri, Angela began singing in church. She did not initially aspire to a career in music, studying architecture at Howard University, singing only to earn extra money. By 1977, she had changed her major to music education, and recorded a demo. She shopped it to various record labels with no success, but it was heard by New York disc jockey Gary Byrd, who helped land her a spot in Stevie Wonder's backing vocal group, Wonderlove. Becoming Wonder's protegé, she learned a great deal about writing and arranging songs. While in Los Angeles with Wonder, she met singer René Moore; the two became a couple (eventually marrying), and began writing songs together. René & Angela released their self-titled debut album in 1980, followed by Wall to Wall in 1981 and Rise in 1983. During this period they had two moderate hit singles, "I Love You More" and "My First Love"...
