Hi,
For a number of years Black Angel has the privilege of working with Lois Mahalia (previous name Lois Minato) on six albums.  Lois sang lead and back-up vocals and also performed a lot of duets with J. C. Martin.  Lois is a beautiful, extremely talented and soulful woman who was great to work with.

Since her Black Angel days, Lois has toured as a back-up singer with Joe Walsh and has had albums produced for her by Kenny Loggins.  Lois has had songs like "Smile"  that have had over a million plays on Youtube.  Lois is basically a jazz and gospel singer but she sang a lot of rock 'n' roll with Black Angel.

One of my favorite songs that I wrote and Lois sang was a song called "Life Just Ran Over Me".  Seeing Lois sing this song in the studio was a site to see.  Her family was originally from British Guiana in South America.  Her African, soulful roots can be felt in her singing.  Check out this lovely woman performing this song with the excellent musicians in Black Angel.
