The first 45 I ever bought was "Angel on My Shoulder", I think the flip side was "His hair was Brown" or something like that. I named my first daughter Shelby; "Dad why, why did you name me after a Car?
I lived near the recently demolished Orange Bowl stadium in Miami as a kid. I used to ride my bike around the stadium walkways. One day, I was carrying a transistor radio tuned to a rock and roll station. This song came on. I was so moved by Shelby's voice, I actually fell off of my bike. I just laid there, bruised and bloody, listening until the song ended.
we saw Shelby every time she appeared at Donte's in North Hollywood. She is such a sensational artist, vocalist and keyboardist. her performances with a fine group of jazz musicians for backup were always a delight. pity that great talent so often goes unrewarded. thanks Shelby for all those great evenings.
Classic! Amazing, the stuff you stumble across on Youtube...have always loved this song ever since the 45 came out 51 years ago (!!!), This is a great performance.
Shelby's voice is even more touching, and this smooth jazz version is adequate; still I'll treasure the original 1960 arrangement with the plaintive guitars and simple beauty. a great song.
50 years later, the singer and the song, still beautiful. Through the years, as I have heard her sing the original, it has always made me feel very, very good.
Great song. Thanks for posting. I miss hearing it on "The Ranch" radio station since I moved away from Wichita.
