More info on Bertha Tillman. Born Bertha Louise Tillman on 6/28/42 in Texas. Died in San Diego on 5/31/93 at age 50 and was then known as Bertha Ward. This info comes from rootsweb (California death records).
A little more info on Bertha Tillman can be found if you google her name along with "San Diego" - she was working there as a department store salesgirl when discovered. Apparently this was her real name (not a stage name) since someone made reference to her when her father (Rudolph Tillman) passed away in 2010. If anyone can post any more info it would be greatly appreciated - this has to be one of the greatest and most haunting recordings ever and I would love to know more about her.

I couldn't figure out why I keep playing this song! never heard it before! but I sit by my computer at my side are pics of my angels all my angels! (KIDS) at very top of
my angels who are all with me, One angel who is not with us, he was my daughter friend, angel, I cry very time I see him, please fore give i am happy to know he has someone to play with now! my time here on earth is short, I look 4
Just one of the great musical intros and then Bertha had just the right touch. And when she sings "oh my angel ..come back to meeeeee .. and I will la la la love you .. till eternity" one's heart breaks and one wants to hold a loved one and one hopes they will never part. And for those of you out there with no one, my address is .. oh I mean to say just hold on each day and do something to find that special someone or have someone special return...
Another cut for my son eddie he is my angel! i would really think that i had nothing, to hope for and there was nothing to cling to! i thought my life had no meaning if i had live it without him i wanted him to come back to me so bad! i prayed when he got older he would come on his own! and he did! there is a happing ending here! he loves me today and he did come back! even when my mom said he would hate me! she was WRONGGGGGG!!!!
This song by Bertha Tillman is definitely a classic slow song. Super song to slow dance to with the one you love. Nice and slow and dreamy. This is what they call the good stuff. Western Pennsylvania has truly enjoyed this record.

Correction SERENIDAD58. She died in May of 1993. I was married to your brother and have a child with him. I talk to your dad all the time. I'm Bre's mom..
An overlooked oldies GEM. Thanks to reyesm and the Raider Nation for this one. I used to listen to Bertha on KYA crossin' the Bay Bridge from Oakland to The City in my '56
Buick. I moved there; and, for me now, Oakland is the Far East. I still root for dem' Raiders, though.
I'd like to dedicate this song to the memory of RD Summers, a local DJ in Pittsburgh, Pa at station 3WS, who passed away this week. He played all of these great songs on his show called Sunday Night Diner.
Love this song.Only hear it on the radio in the Pittsburgh area on Sunday nights. By the way,your Raiders play my Steelers next year. Al davis should retire,though.
I love this song.I remember slow dancing to this song in the high school gym back in the 60's when I was a teen.....keep the oldies but goodies alive!!!!
My boy Bryan Michael Zamudio Rest Easy boy your in heaven now... My Angel. every ones angel
