ANGEL - The Winter Song

[lesterclaypool1]

i find this band to be the funniest band on the planet ,,, any one that actually would wear wings and state they were from angelic stalk has got to be joking ,,, punky medows is such a weirdo , and he wears to much make up

[colargolfriend]

never understood why this song was so underrated

[purplepoison419]

@colargolfriend THIS band was over-rated!!!!! That's Why they NEVER WENT ANYWHERE BUT DOWN....

[TheOfficialSlicey]

@purplepoison419 you are a jerkoff i saw this band several times and they rocked you were probably watching some garage band cause you couldnt afford the tickets

[argentumkring]

I was like 16 when I first heard this band, stil get the same feeling when I play this song.. Happy feelings

[purplepoison419]

@argentumkring When I was 16 I listen and seen REAL ROCK BANDS.......You mu7st stilllive with your parent's.....

[argentumkring]

@purplepoison419

I think you have a shitty life

Thats why youre here commenting on everything..so sad

[exgroupiefromelmont1]

remember hearing this at christmastime when i was very young!! autumn and winter..my favourite seasons!!

[Vaekkrinhart]

from what I've heard, it's very hard to find a good Angel song. Most, like this one, are very mediocre.

[purplepoison419]

@Vaekkrinhart That's because they didn't have ANY, only a mediocre stage show..

[takashi20000415]

It's so good.



[villesangel69]

nice!

[michelannejones]

For all the Angel fans: Did you know that Angel is spelled the same way backwards as forwards?

I saw them in Louisville many years ago ... really nice to find their music again!

[purplepoison419]

@michelannejones I seen them to back in the 70's. Not backwards fool.. you could turn the album covers upside down and the same.....

[michelannejones]

@purplepoison419 i was drunk when i wrote that ... and you're just a jerk ... you shouldn't call people fools ... just not cool

[yogiwarren1]

This is a great track. I wonder why if never got regular air play during the holiday season on rock stations.

[purplepoison419]

@yogiwarren1 BECAUSE NO ONE CARES THEY SUCKED !!!!!!!!!!!

[martygruffy1]

love this song

[BigPapaPumpSS]

Seen these guys at the old tower theater in Phil......

[kissvideofan]

Great song - there's a new book coming out about the band Angel entitled "On a Wing and a Prayer with Angel"

[ABlastFromYourPast]

Remember them in Philly .... Great tune 

[gahrzahk]

Didn't Philadelphia experience a brown out when all five of these dudes used their hair dryers at once before a concert at the Spectrum?

[muyklo]

Who is singing the background towards the end of this song???

[egoodwin67]

I was in this choir that sang the backrounds... Still gives me the

chills!

[1970Perry1970]

Whatever happened to these guys? Brings me back to junior high/high school. Saw them a few times in Boston.

[Th3Skull3r]

Just happened to bump into this song searching "winter song" and am pleasantly surprised. Never heard of  this group but the sound of their voices is just amazing. So calm and beautiful.

[MultiDuif]

heel mooi nummer ken ik uit myn hoofd het is een van myn eerste singeltjes

[WinnipegAngel]

There sure isn't "music" anymore like we had growing up-late 60's, 70's, 80's. These guys had everything: great music, great looks(for us girls!), the whole thing! I can listen to them all the time-love 'em!

[glpiv7]

you tube search .>> ATTTAKK 05 RIDE THE DRAGON << very strong band from the 80s great song for old classic rock heads

[4sostrander]

My girlfriend was actually Mickie's niece. I know, it's crazy...

Of course, I listen to Iron Maiden and Dio - not Kiss or Angel...

[tommybass40]

Some girl turned my onto Angel back in 77-78 right before we started high school.

Those were the days my friend.

[Jody07984]

LOVE this!



[tertommy]

Now that's singing! Belt it out Frank

[Farandahl]

Have you ever followed the sound of bells chiming in the distance on a cold, frosty night? This is basically how I found this song. One winter day this music was playing, echoing so beautifully, sounding ethereal , leading me right to the record store where I immediately bought this album. The store had been there for years and I'd never given it a second look before then. lol

[bajovoltage]

WOW !!! That logo would be worth millions today....Anyway great song.



[jerrethej]

I bought this album over 30 years ago. Coolest band logo ever. Reads the same even upside down.

[pault2582]

@jerrethej stoner music =)

[jerrethej]

@pault2582 absolutely!

[pault2582]

these guys were ahead of the times with all the electronics, it helped make them so great, even if for only a short time. they ROCKED!

[mikey1829]

thanks for posting this.I COMPLETELY forgot about this song<<<lol...Awesome track

[xicablu]

God I used to LOVE this song!! I saw these guys open many moons ago (i was a kid) for Ted Nugent!

[leonakita]

Always amazes me that this song ( prob their biggest) sounds for the most part , nothing like ANGEL!... Kinda like Bungle in the Jungle ( Jethro Tull)...totally unrepresentative of their greater body of work. for better or worse..i'll let you be the judge...

[m4dMarty]

I didn't know they made good music before the 80's... This defenitly is good.

[Eastonfan1]

@m4dMarty 

[rdm1957]

Lovely!

[popeyenolive]

Best melodic rock band of the late 70's.

[BirdsEyePolarBear]

Winter is the best time of year for snow bathing

[bucky468]

This is the same as "The Christmas Song" (which was a B side to this single.) Only difference is that the lyrics were changed a bit.

[axxellein]

..Stone classic!

[taypax]

thanks to this song Angel will never go away...

[pamelarainsong]

A blast from the past... and I love the California Boys Choir too

[FnCool1]

yeah!

a Christmas song I'd forgotten about!

[spiderhand09]

I really LOVE this song and band! I'm reprizing some of their songs in my band.

[spiderhand09]

I really LOVE this song and band!

[kshe95realrockradio]

keyboard player greg guiffria now part-owner/vip several casino const. jobs in gulf port/las vegas, (way to go greg!) back stage party at superjam, busch stadium 1978 was a concert moment at its finest

[boes62]

Is there somebody who can put this song on line somewhere  so i can download it !!I i had the album but i lent to someone and im dont get it back

[popeyenolive]

@boes62 youtube downloader application

[redhed5150]

thanks for posting this song! this band was one of my favs growing up...brings back memories..

[aquanet2]

I like them because their logo is reversible. If you turn it upside down its the same as right side up . LOL!

[Dannoga]

Yes I remember watching my neighbors roof shingle fly off in the blizzard of 78 Boston 105 MPH winds zero visibility and stoned out of the universe...damn!

[NoNameWondr]

@Dannoga I saw these guys live back in the day, I wished they had lasted longer as aband GREAT MUSIC Imiss the 70s

[takashi20000415]

寝る前にテープを繰り返し聞いていた。



[MAGNUM2F]

nice song from the lads! angel were class!

[melcurley1]

That was the winter of 78 The Blizzard Of '78

[LIONARTist60]

I loved this band when I was in high school. They were one of the glamiest glam rock bands. Punky Meadows had the best head of hair in rock history.

[KissFanForever77]

Gene Simmons (Kiss), discovered this band, and signed to Casablanca. They are a CULT band. They are dressed in white, instead of black.

[LustingSvenska]

OMG my mom listened to this band as a small kid,along with her older sister..she said back in the winter of 1977 the snow was so bad they were indoors for over a week and her my Aunt and her would play this song over and over by candlelight singing! =]]

[NoNameWondr]

@LustingSvenska I had forgotten about this song and this album , it sure is nice to awaken a lost memory Seen these guys live back in the day,years before this album came out, A GREAT SHOW!! K.J.F.

[phonedoug]

This song, Greg Lake's "I Believe In Father Christmas" and Joni Mitchell's "River" are the only 3 seasonal songs I can listen to all year long.

[RainbowMoonHealing]

I put this song on a Christmas Mixed tape. I still love this song! Thanks.

[Qwazier3]

I had all their albums and a major crush on the guys too. =)

[gjmuller242]

Damn.... I haven't heard this song in years....Great song

[devtrev]

The best thing about this band was their logo - it says "Angel" upside down as well. And their music....well, they had a nice logo.

[metalgypsy2010]

@devtrev agreed i spent every study hall freakin' drawing and perfecting that logo ---but i only liked 3or 4 of their songs ---the fortune is awesome

[devtrev]

@metalgypsy2010 I liked "Telephone Exchange" - I remember I got one of their albums free with my subscription to Creem - best rock magazine ever.

[ronboo3014]

so precious ~

[GenesisAfterglow]

Der beste und genialste Wintersong ever zusammen mit Greg Lake´s I BELIEVE IN FAHTER CHRISTMAS

[Capulonix1]

I'm glad there are better songs from Lennon and Mc Cartney

[bestkuddel]

bester wintersong,absolut geil.

[FredandMarcy]

@bestkuddel Oh yeah...happens all the time.

[hwonk80]

best Christmas song ever.....still get chills when I hear it!

[KOSMICKEN09]

gregg giuffria looks like a yuppie now it's weird

[trixie10121]

Want to hear the worst song ever recorded come to my page

[804pillow]

they still tour-only with 2 replacements for the original guitarist and bassplayer

[GBJPhotoWorks]

also not the original keyboardist. The only two original members are Frank Dimino (vocals) and Barry Brandt (drums). Dimino's vocals help define the Angel sound, but it's hard to call any band Angel, musically, without Punky and Greg.

[bassace1358]

saw them at Ag hall in Allentown several time back in the 70's... great glam rock

[PaBasser]

Ag Hall in Allentown. There were some pretty good concerts there back in the 70's.

[slagdraggin1313]

Saw them there w/Judas Preist!!!

[slagdraggin1313]

W/Judas Preist!!!

[TheRisingforce2000]

the logo looks the same upside down

[gumborific]

Thanks Captain Obvious!

[Jamesy86]

haven't heard this for years!!!!!

[Nitromethodic]

Great song! Classic from way back.
