One of my favorite songs back in the day was Your Smile by René & Angela. This was the first song with Angela singing solo. As it turned out René didn't have the stones to handle Angela's talent. He ended up turning to violence and that was the end of the musical efforts of the career. Unlike Rihanna and Chris Brown ... Angela left René forever.
I always thought that she was singing this song about René when I heard it. I learned recently that she was thinking about her grandmother as the inspiration for this song.
This was also another song that was great as a slow-jam do end the party. I'm sure that there are some ol' school brothers who used to dream of sharing this song in the background when they were with their lady late at night!
The proof is in the pudding. I've never heard from Rene Moore since the group split up. However, Angela Winbush broke out in 1987 with a #1 ballad called, "Angel"
