The group formed in the late ’60s at Pershing High School in Detroit. In 1969, they won first place in a talent contest (sponsored by local radio station WCHB) and got their first recording contract.

In 1970, Enchantment worked with a talent development agency for up & coming artists called Artists International (which was founded by manager Dick Scott, a former executive for Motown Records who managed artists such as Diana Ross and the Supremes & Boyz II Men) where they began developing their stage presence and performed at various gigs around the Detroit area.

In 1984, Enchantment released their last album to date, “Utopia” which also failed to make the album charts at all, but the single, “Don’t Fight the Feeling” managed to peak at #64 on Billboard’s Black Singles chart, staying on the chart for only 5 weeks.
Feel Like Dancin'
In 1985, the group released the single, “Feel Like Dancin'” on the Prelude Records label, but it didn’t appear to make any impact on the charts at all.
Reflections Of The Man Inside
After that, not much was heard from Enchantment until 1991 when they released the single, “Reflections of the Man Inside” on the Morning Glory record label; it’s unknown how or if the single charted at all.

In 2003, Carl Cotton (who replaced Bobby Green) was shot & killed in 2003 during an altercation with his barber outside of a party store in Detroit.

These days, it appears as if Enchantment is still performing regionally; Joe “Jobie” Thomas left the group and formed his own music group called Enchantment featuring Jobie Thomas.

Angela Via

Angela Via (born Angela Jolene Trullinger Villarreal on December 29, 1981 in Raymondville, Texas) is a former teen pop music singer from the 2000s.

Her father, Tom is of European-American and Native American ancestry, and her mother, Annie is of Mexican and Spanish ancestry. As a young girl, she often listened to local Tejano music.

During her childhood, Angela would lock herself in her bedroom or take her boombox to the porch of her house where she would practice singing for hours. She wrote her first song when she was just three years old.

At the age of 9, she moved to Gresham, Oregon with her family where she began singing in church and school choirs. In 1996, Angela’s father took her to a recording studio where she recorded some of her favorite songs such as “Hero” by Mariah Carey and “Amor Prohibido” by Selena.

In 1997, Angela’s version of Whitney Houston’s song, “You Were Loved” was featured on a regional fundraising album which led to her performing at cultural and charity events throughout the city.

In 1998, she won a talent show sponsored by a radio station in Portland, Oregon and was flown to Los Angeles, California to perform at a party for the film, “The Wedding Singer” at Planet Hollywood.
In 1999, Angela signed a seven-album record deal with the Lava Records label. In 2000, she released her debut single, “Picture Perfect”. The song peaked at #27 on Billboard’s Hot Singles Sales chart, staying on the chart for 20 weeks. It also peaked at #27 on Billboard’s Hot Dance Music\Maxi-Singles Sales chart.

The single went on to sell more than 110,000 copies and the music video (which featured actor Tom Welling as her love interest) received airplay on The Box and MTV. A Spanish-language version “Retrato Perfecto” was also released.
The follow-up single, “I Don’t Care” peaked at #74 on Billboard’s Hot Singles Sales chart, staying on the chart for 2 weeks. In 2001, Australian pop music singer Delia Goodrem covered the song which managed to peak at #64 on the ARIA Singles chart.

During 2000, Angela was featured on film soundtracks to “Pokémon The Movie 2000” (with the track, “Wonderland”) and “The Little Vampire” (with the track, “Best Friends”).
Angela’s self-titled debut studio album was supposed to be released in June of 2000, but for unknown reasons, the album was shelved.

In 2001, Atlantic Records planned to release an updated version of the album and Angela was supposed to release a new music video, but it ended up being shelved due to Angela’s rejection of a deal because she felt that it was demoralizing to her image in the music industry.
It wasn’t until 2004 that Angela’s debut studio album was given a digital release through RealPlayer’s music store. In 2001, she was featured on the compliation album, “MTV TRL Christmas” with the track, “Christmas Wish”.

In 2002, she recorded a Six Flags commercial where she performed her song, “Papi Chulo” which received airplay in her home state, but later on in the year, she was dropped from Atlantic Records.

Afterwards, nothing much was heard from Angela until April of 2006 when it was announced that she signed a new record deal with Virgin Records.
During that same year, she released two promotional singles: “Speakin’ Spanish” and “Baila Baila (Don’t Let This Party End)”. She was supposed to release a new album titled “Ready to Fly”, but for unknown reasons, the album was never released.

In January of 2008, Angela left Virgin Records due to unknown reasons. These days (according to research) she is married with two daughters and resides in Happy Valley, Oregon. She also appears to be working on new music as well.
