Transitioning to a solo career in the late 1990s, Stone released her debut album, “Black Diamond,” in 1999, which was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. Her 2001 album, “Mahogany Soul,” featured the standout single “Wish I Didn’t Miss You,” solidifying her place in the neo-soul movement.
Beyond her musical achievements, Stone showcased her versatility as an actress, appearing in films such as “The Hot Chick” (2002) and “The Fighting Temptations” (2003), where she starred alongside Beyoncé and Cuba Gooding Jr.
Stone is survived by her daughter, Diamond Stone, and her son, Michael Archer, whom she shared with singer D’Angelo. Her daughter confirmed the heartbreaking news on Facebook, writing, “My mommy is gone,” accompanied by crying emojis.
Fans and fellow artists have taken to social media to express their grief and pay tribute to Stone’s enduring legacy. Her contributions to music, characterized by her soulful voice and heartfelt lyrics, have left an indelible mark on the industry.
