Angie Stone: 1962 – 2025
On Mar. 1, 2025, we lost Angie Stone. The first time I ever heard of her was when her hit single, “No More Rain (In This Cloud),” was released during the fall of 1999.

On Feb. 1, 2024, we lost another legend, Mr. Carl Weathers. I grew up watching this man, and I always loved him. However, there was a point in time where I didn’t see him as much as I did in my younger years (y’all have to forgive me; I never watched The Mandalorian.
