Both Ray and the arranger made this song feel as though the dancers were going to fly above the dance floor, very romantic and I'm sure some couples cemented their relationship with a deep kiss while dancing to this song. Should have been a #1 hit on all charts. I love this song. Greg
This song makes you want to sweep the dance floor on your toes as though you'll go airborne in total bliss. Nothing like these love songs from the 50's and 60's. Greg

Very nice collection and you now have a new subscriber :-) Does anyone know who is doing the background float vocals? Is it Zola Taylor or Janet Vogel or someone else? Not many who can hit those notes. Thanks for sharing.
This is probably the most sentimental song that Ray has to his name & I'm hearing it for the first time. The most important think to note about this tear jerker is that it's a happy ending for his "My Blue Angel as well as Ray himself, noting what he had done was a mistake. It's a nice to believe that she was there all along in the waiting, knowing he'll be back one day to patch things up(sob). Thx 4 posting
It's a toss up, I still like his uptempled hit, "I'm Tired" over this Mt Blue Angel. I've got I'm Tired in my record collection, like a couple of hundred others, I got 'em at a 2nd hand store I frequented. They were known to have jukebox singles dumped off there and teenagers like me with some pocket money prospered. They went for 25 ceents each or 5 for a dollar, if memory serves me correctly. I had hundreds of singles and many I played over and over again, "I'm Tired" wasn't one of them.THX
@Ezdduf4kuZ "I'm Tired" was a definite improvement over the original a-side, "Come And Get It". As much as I like "I'm Tired", I always like Ray's ballads the best.
@ILoveJenni47: You are ABSOLUTELY right this should have been on the a-side of the original single and it was one of Ray's best efforts. It is a very, very beautiful song and for the life of me, I don't understand why it didn't chart all that well. I suspect many older baby boomers may not even remember it! Such a shame... Thanks so much for posting it!
@rskissack The djs should have flipped the record over to play this side, and the promotion should have been behind it instead of the other side. Thanks for your comments!
Hear that soprano at the being, makes your heart soar among the clouds. this is music, it takes you through your emotions. You can hear all the voices, all the instruments. Outstanding.
Great singer. I love his voice and his songs. He is totally underrated. Hard to find a voice like his. He is up there with me: Elvis, Roy Orbison, Rick Nelson and Ray Peterson.
Back in 1962, I used to play records on my mother's phonograph. Eventually I played ten records at a time on the spindle, and this is one of them, with "I'm Tired" on the other side. I still have them, but now I must play them one at a time!
I saw Ray perform in Los Angeles around the time he was on Uni Records...though he never scored any more hits, he gave a great show....he had a way with ballads.
At one time he owned Dunes Records that produced "Pretty Little Angel Eyes" by Curtis Lee...produced by a very young Phil Spector.
great version .also like anthony newleys version equally as well
