Bofill died at her daughter’s home in Vallejo, California. Her cause of death has not been announced, but she had previous health problems.
In 2006 and 2007, Bofill suffered two strokes, causing paralysis on the left side of her body.
Bofill’s friend and manager, Rich angelannounced her death in two Facebook posts on Friday, saying her family was “saddened” by the news.
Born in New York, Bofill rose to fame in the ’70s with a number of hits, including “I Try,” “Angel of the Night,” “This Time I’ll Be Sweeter” and “What I Wouldn’t Do ( For the love of you).”
Her success continued through the ’80s, ’90s and early 2000s, catching the attention of music mogul Clive Davis on a certain moment. Davis was the head of Arista Records, which produced several of Bofill’s albums.
