Breh, "I Try" was a staple on the original Quiet Storm on WHUR FM (R.I.P. Melvin Lindsey), and deservedly so. It's such a beautiful song, and Ms. Bofill sang it with so much pain & passion.
All these years later, it's still one of the GOAT breakup/heartbreak/I want you back songs.

Yep. This was a Quiet Storm staple. Even Don Cornelius said this was one of the most beautiful songs he ever heard.

Wasn't of my era, but this one song on the Johnny Mathis duets album was always a favorite of mine!

I hate to read this news and see she had suffered from strokes and lost out on so much.
