*Singer Angela Bofill is paralyzed on her left side following a stroke suffered on Jan. 10 in Maplewood, N.J., her manager Rich Engel told us.
Bofill, 51, was released from intensive care on Sunday (Jan. 15) and will require speech and physical therapy, Engel said.
A benefit concert has been organized to pay her hospital bills, as Bofill did not carry health insurance. The show, planned by Engel along with N.Y. radio
stations Kiss FM, and CD 101.9, will be held on March 11th at the Bergen Performing Arts Center in Englewood, N.J. Similar events are being planned for Detroit and Los Angeles, Engel said.
Well wishes and donations from fans should be sent to Live At Night, P.O. Box 1140, Maplewood, N.J. 07040. For more information, visit the Web site www.soulmusic.com.
