HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "Birth Name" is not recognized
Angela Tomasa Bofill (born May 3, 1954) is an American R&B and jazz singer and songwriter.
Early life and success
Angela Bofill was born to a Cuban father and an Afro Puerto Rican mother. Growing up, listening to latin music, she was also inspired by the African-American performers in those days. During her childhood, her weekends were taken up studying classical music and singing in a city chorus. It was as a teenager that her professional singing began. She performed with Ricardo Marrero & the Group and Dance Theater of Harlem chorus prior to being introduced to Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen (of the jazz label GRP Records) by her friend, the jazz flautist Dave Valentin. Grusin and Rosen signed Bofill and produced her first album, Angie, in 1978. Angie was well received both critically and commercially and included the chart single "This Time I'll Be Sweeter" (co-written by Gwen Guthrie), as well as Bofill's sprawling jazz composition, "Under the Moon and Over the Sky". Less than a year later, a second album, Angel of the Night was released and outperformed its predecessor. The album included the chart singles "What I Wouldn't Do (For the Love of You)" and the up tempo title track, as well as the self-written song "I Try" (covered by Will Downing in 1991). The reception of these albums positioned Bofill as one of the first Latina singers to find success in the R&B and jazz markets.

The Voyage (roller coaster)
The Voyage is a wooden roller coaster located at Holiday World & Splashin' Safari. It opened to the public on May 6, 2006. Designed and built by The Gravity Group with the help of designers Mike Graham, Korey Kiepert, Larry Bill, Chad Miller, and former park President Will Koch, the roller coaster is themed to the voyage of the Mayflower by the Pilgrims to North America in 1620.
The Voyage holds the record for most air-time on a wooden roller coaster at 24.3 seconds. It is also ranked fourth overall in height, and second in length (behind The Beast at Kings Island). In 2006, it won a Golden Ticket Award for "Best New Ride" from Amusement Today magazine, which also ranked The Voyage as the "Best Wooden Roller Coaster" from 2007 through 2011.
History
Development
To celebrate Holiday World's sixtieth anniversary, park President Will Koch made plans for a new holiday that was to be added to the park. The new holiday, Thanksgiving, would also feature a wooden roller coaster, The Voyage, as its anchor attraction. Koch contacted The Gravity Group (Custom Coasters International, the designers of The Raven and The Legend, went bankrupt in 2002. Larry Bill, one of the designers, went on to help form The Gravity Group) and began to form plans for the new roller coaster. As with the development of The Legend, Koch wanted the input of roller coaster enthusiasts from around the world. The Gravity Group, through Will Koch, used this enthusiast input to design the one-of-a-kind ride. Park President Will Koch provided so much input, he was actually listed as one of the designers of the ride. During the construction of The Voyage, producers from the National Geographic Channel's "SuperCoasters" and the Discovery Channel's "Building the Biggest: Coasters" visited the park to document the progress.
The Voyage (short story)
The Voyage is a 1921 short story by Katherine Mansfield. It was first published in The Sphere on 24 December 1921, and later reprinted in The Garden Party and Other Stories.
Plot summary
At the harbour Fenella and her grandmother say goodbye to Fenella's father and board the Picton boat; a number of everyday situations are described during the journey, which highlight a degree of tension between the rather religious grandmother and staff on the boat. At Picton they are met by Mr Penreddy with a carriage. They arrive at the grandparents's house and meet Fenella's grandfather.
It becomes apparent slowly as the story develops that Fenella's mother has recently died, and she is being taken to live in Picton for an unknown length of time.

Time To Say Goodbye
by: Angela BofillJust the other day I said hello to you.
Now it seems like time has passed us by.
I wish there was a treasure I could show to you
To make our love come back and never die.
Chorus:
Now it’s time to say goodbye
I don’t know why
Things happen as they do w/ only you
Now I think I’m gonna cry
But at least I know we try
Oh baby it’s time to say goodbye.
Goodbye to all the things we hold so dear to us.
Goodbye to all the things we used to do.
Goodbye to everybody far and near to us
But that won’t ever stop me from loving you.
Now it’s time to say goodbye
I don’t know why
Things happen as they do w/ only you
Wish I didn’t have to go
But deep inside I know
That baby it’s time to say goodbye.
It’s time to say goodbye
It’s time to say goodbye
Time to say goodbye
Time to say goodbye
Goodbye…goodbye…
Now it’s time to say goodbye
I don’t know why
Things happen as they do w/ only you
Wish I didn’t have to go
But deep inside I know
That baby it’s time to say goodbye.
It’s time to say goodbye
It’s time to say goodbye
Time to say goodbye
It’s time to say goodbye to all the things we used to do now
It’s time to say goodbye to all the family and friends
It’s time to say goodbye to all the friends we used to see now
Even though I know that this is really not the end
Time to say goodbye
Time to say goodbye
Time to say goodbye
